  1. The remains of a large Conger eel (Conger conger) likely caught out by the big swells that arrived in the wake of Storm Amy and thrown high up on the shoreline. Black-backed gulls have been claiming their share.

  4. Now passing Miyajima, Japan which is known for its oysters & in particular, it's Conger Eel fishery.

    Japanifiles may know Conger Eel to be commonly served as as "Anago" , or saltwater eel, not to be confused with "Unagi" or freshwater eel.

    Anago is milder but great as tempura, deep-fried & served over rice as donburi. Unagi is richer, fattier & usually served with sweet soy sauce as sushi.

  5. Conger eel (Conger conger) lips. Although this is a Juvenile you can just about make out its backward facing teeth. Once they grab a hold of something they don't tend to let go. BUT - They have two pectoral fins either side of their head and if you tickle under these they release their grip. I've no idea why!!
