Silver Eel, or possibly strap conger?

Looking at the jaws definitely a strap.

Hope so it would my 1st!

the way to tell is
Conger upper jaw overhangs bottom.
Silver Eel bottom jaw protrudes out past top jaw.

I thought the dorsal fin finished nearer the head on Congers? Which was why I wasn't sure.

Silver Eel 100%
Congers have much larger eye and jaw. Plus the dorsal fin configuration mentioned above.

Dr Henderson states the jaw is the way to tell.
I have never known his books to be wrong but admittidly not the best photo to judge.
