White Conger

B tier

White conger is a trade descriptor for pale-fleshed conger sold in some markets—often European or related Conger with an emphasis on clean white steaks rather than a strict separate species. Expect firm, mild meat suited to stews and frying. Ask the fishmonger which species is on the slab; “white” usually signals colour and eating quality, not a unique biology. Cook as European conger: remove skin, use moist or robust dry heat, and pair with bold Mediterranean flavours.
