Coley, also known as coley fish or coley cod, is a type of fish belonging to the Gadidae family, closely related to cod and haddock. Found primarily in the North Atlantic, coley has a mild flavor and flaky texture, making it a popular choice for various culinary dishes. It typically has dark brown or greenish skin, with a lighter underside. Coley is often regarded as a sustainable seafood option, as its populations are generally stable, and it's caught through responsible fishing practices. In cooking, it can be prepared in various ways—grilled, baked, or used in stews. It’s often featured in traditional British dishes like fish and chips or served with seasonal vegetables. Despite its culinary merits, coley is sometimes overshadowed by more popular species like cod and haddock. However, its affordability and versatility make it a great option for those looking to explore different types of seafood.
