Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Fleek eel was a species of slippery eel found in the Hocekureem Sea on Falleen as well as in the oceans of Aquilaris. They were caught with tridents or traps which were then brought in by submersibles. The eels were cooked in pepper oil, were considered a delicacy, and were often served alive in a cream. Around 3964 BBY, Marn Hierogryph, under the pseudonym Baron Hieromarn, solicited investments to pay for tankers to transport the eels to Taris. He predicted that the eels would be a smash hit among the denizens of the Upper City.

Dex's Diner on Coruscant often served cream of fleek eel. It was possibly the source for Fleekskin. They were also served at the Manarai.

There was also the proverbial expression spear two fleek-eels with the same trident to describe multiple success with little effort.
