    This is a pretty simple dish and easy to make. Coley is a freshwater fish, a member of the carp family. It's on the bony side of fish, but the flesh is firm, white and delicious. The skin is very crispy when baked. Adding salad makes the dish complete. Old-fashioned, but many restaurants still do it this way these days, and it's hard to beat.
