So you're a medieval landlord, collecting property rent from your peasants in eels. How do you measure them?

There were LOTS of eels in medieval England. People ate them, traded them, wrote about them, & paid taxes in them. In 1200 there were 500k+ eels being paid in in-kind taxation each year. Here's a map!
