WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

The European conger’s long outline recalls an eel, with a massive head and a large mouth. Its skin is smooth, without visible scales, often dark grey on the back and paler below.

The pectoral fins, on either side behind the head, are visible. Other fins form a long border along the back and beneath the body, continuing to the tail tip. The largest individuals may reach about 3 m.
