what size was it?

could have been a seal,otter or another conger..a big one!!

looks fresh and if it was dragged ashore then good chance it was an otter

It was about 2.5 foot & washed up by a wave on to the rocks.

lobster might have got a hold of it and cut off what it could chew they do reside in the same kind of ground

looks like its been wrapped up in line then maybe been an easy meal for someting else......

I'd say it was an otter. Conger wasn't tasty enough so only half is missing. I think that these marks are not from line but from otter's claws and teeth.

yup! quite a belly full for an otter! a seal would have pollished it off .

Cheers for repleys lads defo claw marks & bite mark on neck, I seen an otter there nine years ago but havent seem it since must be back the conger better watch out, I'll have to give them a shot before the otter gets them all
