Fish and Chips

Fish and Chips

Updated November 4, 2026

Beer-battered fried fish with thick-cut fries, mushy peas, and tartar sauce.

Cod is traditional; haddock or pollock work too. Malt vinegar is the traditional condiment.

Use a lager or pale ale for the batter. Chips should be thick-cut, not thin fries.
