Is eel allowed on the Tayyibat diet?

Unresolved

Unresolved. His rules point both ways on this food, so the food list does not give it a yes or a no.

Why the answer on eel is not simple

Some kitchens treat it as a normal fish. Others know it lives on the bottom. His rules point both ways, so it's left undecided.

The detail

Traditional in some cuisines and a bottom-dweller in others; his principles pull both ways. Left unresolved.

Did the doctor say this himself?

Follows from his rules. Not a ruling he gave.
