I came across an old saying from West Cornwall that is said to date back
to the 18th C that said, "bread and tatties all the week, but conger pie
on Sundays".

In fact we used to eat conger back in the days when I was a fanatical
sea fisherman. Grilled cutlets of conger are remarkably like cod, and
it makes a lovely fish casserole. As does lling.

I've eaten ling but never conger, nor the CI 'delicacy' called ormers
which are a cousin of abalone. And I've no desire to change that
status! ;-)

Go on, live dangerously. You might like them.
