conger eelAny of about 100 species of marine eels (family Congridae) with no scales, a large head, large gill slits, a wide mouth, and strong teeth. Conger eels are usually grayish to blackish, with a paler belly and black-edged fins. Found in all oceans, sometimes in deep water, they may grow about 6 ft (1.8 m) long. Conger eels are carnivores. Many species, such as the European conger (Conger conger), are valued as food. The American conger, or sea eel (C. oceanicus), is a fierce game fish. |

| These guys cast their lines in the hopes that a Conger Eel, which can grow to more than 10 feet long and 300 pounds, will be on the other end. Their detail has enabled Fradkin to identify many of the animals incorporated in the mosaics: a cape hare nibbling on grapes, a partridge holding a flower, and seven types of Mediterranean fish, including a dolphin fish and a distinctive conger eel with a starfish. The opening dinner menu will feature hearty winter seasonal dishes, including entrees of Pacific conger eel with scallops, clams and mussels and Patagonian lamb carre, baked with cardamom. |
