Is it possible for a multicellular organism to evolve a capacitor?

Is it possible for an organism to evolve a capacitor if the conditions were right (carnivore that stuns fish, living in complete darkness, etc.)? What kind of challenges would there be to evolve something like this? What fluid would it most likely be present in? I was looking at Wikipedia's page on electric eels and was just wondering about this. I'm learning about electrical fields and voltages in my college classes right now.
