Crispy battered coley, served with traditional mushy peas, tartare sauce, grilled lime, chargrilled salad, salted capers and chips. 

Coley is still a good alternative to Cod and Haddock, and works well for the cost savvy amongst you. We often tout this as a buyer’s recommendation as we believe it’s a great white fish – deserving of its place on the menu as a sustainable and underutilised species.
