About European conger

The European conger is a large, elongated marine eel with smooth skin and a long tapering body. It is sold whole or in cut portions, usually after cleaning; the flesh is pale, firm and moist when cooked. Bones and skin may remain in some preparations, and the edible yield varies considerably between a whole fish and trimmed portions.

Its flavour is mild and savoury, and the firm flesh is suited to roasting, grilling, braising or soups. Cooking makes the flesh opaque and tender while retaining more structure than flaky white fish. Fresh, frozen and prepared conger can differ in moisture and texture, so the species name alone does not specify the cut or processing of a particular product.
