The washed up animal caught the attention of Sue Titchmarsh's dogs
Sue Titchmarsh made the discovery when she was out with her dogs on Moreton Beach in Wirral .
She said: "I was hoping it was still alive, but when I picked it up, I realised it was dead. Two seagulls were eyeing me at the time." "Larger conger eels are always female, with males reaching a maximum of around 35lb. The very biggest conger eel live out at sea in deep water, where they often live in wrecks and are targeted by boat anglers. A specimen weighing 350lb was reportedly caught by a trawler near the island of Vestmannaeyjar off the south coast of Iceland. In May 2015 a 7ft long conger eel was caught in the nets of a trawler off the coast of Devon and weighed 133lb after being gutted.
