In Newfoundland English, logy (also spelled logey or loggy) means 'heavy, slow-moving.' Occurs as a place name, such as "Logy Bay." 1) Said "of persons (animals, fish, etc), heavy, sluggish, in poor condition; dull. 2) Of a vessel, slow-moving, deep-laden and heavy in sailing. 3) Of the weather, (a) heavy (with moisture); (b) oppressively hot. (Dictionary of Newfoundland English)

In this same dictionary, the OED is cited defining logy as "fish of inferior quality. A large cod-fish; SOAKER."
