Definitly not a short fin either, I've never seen one with a pointed face or black on the top.
Maybe it was a Lamprey? Mordacia mordax are in your area and they are a dark blue-gray to brown, have a pointed head and if slipped away without a proper inspection look identical to an eel.
How far where you from the sea, if you were within 100 kilometers or so it could have been The yellow-bellied sea snake (Pelamis platurus), the description is spot on and it is found in that area. Though not at all agressive they are highly toxic.
