I think ocean pout are distinct from conger eel. They both taste the same to me. Both usually have an olive/greenish complexion.

I think the silvery fish you are talking about are tile fish (?) and are mostly caught in 300+ feet of water offshore. They are very tasty but sadly found to be very high in mercury (like tuna, shark, and swordfish).
