Promising a three-for-one return on investment, Hieromarn guaranteed that fleek eel would be an Upper City delicacy within eight months. Thousands of years later, Dex's Diner, an eatery in Coruscant's CoCo Town district, offered a dish called the Xizor salad, which was fresh Sizhranian lettuce tossed with Hocekureem Sea salt croutons.
