I smoked some Pollack sides once, similar species and texure to coley (Pollachius pollachius and Pollachius virens respectively). They were pretty good, but not quite on a par with smoked haddock. I don't reckon you'd notice if you cooked with them though.

They both tend towards 'wetness', imo. This can be remedied by salting them for literally a few minutes before cooking, and then rinsing the salt off (so you are simply using it to draw moisture out of the fish).

My favourite underrated white fish: the Whiting.

I'm pleased to report that I managed to get a pack of scampi kiev in Somerfield at the Butterfly Walk, Camberwell, and having just finished a plateful, can highly recommend them.
