Tail

Conger Eel tail meat is thinner and faster-cooking—good for soups, cakes and quick sautés. Fold thin ends under for even pans; use moist methods if very lean. stop at just-opaque; residual heat finishes the centre. Save clean trimmings for stock, crumbs or compound butters when they suit the ingredient.
