Coley
Coley, is a great alternative fish to the traditional Cod, not only does it taste and look almost exactly like Cod when it has been cooked it is also a cheaper option giving you more fish for the pound in your pocket. When fresh the flesh is slightly darker than that of a Cod, and it also has grey coloured skin, which over the past few years has given it a little bit of an image problem. But now with Cod stocks beginning to run a little lower, Coley is making a comeback. So we at Fish Burwell LTD have decided to put together some recipes for you to try with your Coley.
