Smoked eel

So has anyone smoked eel before? I am making a dish that I am going to smoke eel and wondering if anyone has worked with it before to send me some tips.  Should I smoke the whole eel or cut it up because I am going to plate up with the filets but I didn't know to smoke whole or cut it up then smoke the pieces. When I come up with an idea I will let you know how it turns out!
