"Saithe, also known as coley, is a member of the pollock family found around the North Atlantic Ocean with grey-ish coloured flesh. When cooked, saithe is said to boast a much stronger and more satisfying flavour than traditional options. Norwegian fishermen are promoting saithe to British chippies as a replacement after ocean conservationists warned cod shoals are being decimated by overfishing."
"When raw, saithe flesh has a greyish colour compared with other so-called white fish, which is why it is often overlooked, but when cooked it turns a clear white. According to Faroese Seafood, saithe has a distinctive, rich flavour that is more intensely 'fishy' than usual options found in the chippie. Chef, author and environmental activist James Strawbridge UK, called saithe 'a great sustainable choice for white fish' with a delicate, sweet flavour and light texture."
Saithe, also called coley, is a pollock-family fish in the North Atlantic with grey-ish raw flesh that cooks to a clear white and delivers a stronger, richer flavour than cod. Norwegian fishermen and the Norwegian Seafood Council are promoting saithe to British chip shops as a replacement amid cod overfishing and as a cheaper alternative. Some English chip shops have already trialled saithe and reported positive feedback despite initial hesitation over raw colour. Saithe is distinct from Atlantic pollock and is described as a sustainable white-fish choice with a delicate, sweet flavour and light texture.
