Congrio en fuente de barro

Literally 'Eel cooked in earthenware', this Chilean recipe does not actually include eel. The Chilean 'congrio' is Genypterus chilensis (red ling or red cusk eel) and its only similarity to the eel is that it has a large head and a tapering body. Their habitat is restricted to Chilean and Peruvian coastal waters. In the UK, cod is the best substitute
