If you’re in the mood for some classical food, head over to The English House by Marco Pierre White. Of course they have the traditional Fish and Chips, a beer battered wild cod which comes with deliciously crunchy triple cooked chips and tartare sauce, but if you’re in the mood for something else, you won’t be disappointed. The Specials feature the Shepherd’s Pie and the Honey Based Iberico Pork Belly Marco Polo. End your lip smacking meal with a Baked Apple Crumble or a Bread and Butter Pudding, and you will never have gone home happier. Image Credit: The English House Facebook Page

Smiths Authentic British Fish and Chip Shop ​​​​​​​

You know you’re in safe hands if the name itself has the word “authentic” in it. Smiths Authentic British Fish and Chip Shop prides itself upon cooking cod and haddock fished in the most sustainable manner, prepared fresh from scratch every day. They have two sizes you can choose from depending on your hunger pangs. We recommend losing the guilt and gaining the calories. No matter what the size is, the fish is beautifully moist and tender, and the crunchiness of the chips hits just the spot.

Molly Malone's

Imagine being in the fish and chips business for more than 2 decades! Yes, Molly Malone’s is an Irish pub which has been serving mouth watering options of the classic British hit since 1995. Naturally, the quality will be top notch. In addition to the traditional fish and chips options that you will anyway drool over, they also have the white fish option. Bite into the satisfyingly crispy, deep fried batter and lose yourself in the heartiness of the dish. It obviously comes with a large portion of chips, fresh lemon and deliciously tangy tartare sauce. The best part? They serve the otherwise S$20 helping for S$14.50 on Tuesdays.

Big Fish Small Fish

Big Fish Small Fish

No points for guessing what Big Fish Small Fish specialises in. This restaurant is popular for serving as many as six different kinds of fish which grace the Fish and Chips section of the menu. While these are incredible options to go with, you want to opt for the Snow Cod or the Haddock if you’re in the mood for some serious food. The fillet tastes extremely juicy in your mouth, and it comes with a generous portion of skin on fries, delicious sauces to go with and your choice of two sides. Bon appetit!

RATED 7.5 / 8

Fish & Chips are an Englishman’s staple go to comfort food so when my BFF Spencer mentioned that he had just ordered Smith’s Fish & Chips for his dinner that was the trigger. I just had to have them, I just could not avoid that action now as I could almost taste them.

I went online immediately and ordered away and then ran downstairs to get the Maldon Salt Flakes and Sarson’s Malt Vinegar the two absolute must-have bedfellows for fish and chips. OK I know it’s not Sarson’s but it’s what we can get our hands on in Singapore but I can dream!

When the food arrived in their AWESOME delivery/serving boxes with Union Jacks all over we doused the fish and chips in malt vinegar and a food sprinkle of sea salt. You then get that smell, that smell that only a Brit will appreciate from days of being a kid at the local chippie. I was transported back to Pete’s Fish ‘n’ Chips back in Margate my old birth-town. It is truly amazing how food can make you virtually travel through memories.

Smith Fish and Chips Pricing & Specials

The pricing is just brilliant, for example, Standard Cod & Chips @ $23.50 which could easily be a 2-person portion. Even Halibut, which is known as The Steak of the Sea, & Chips is only $29.00. I have cooked with Halibut and imported it from Alaska, so I know how much that beauty costs as a raw material. I’ll add the pricing of our dishes in the review so you can see how reasonable this is for lunch or dinner.

They also have a children’s menu and ‘Gluten-Free Day’ every Tuesday (the traditional batter is also available not just Gluten Free), and if you’re looking for a little extra value at lunch, they serve a $15.00 special between 12noon and 2.30pm.

Smiths Fish and Chips Portions

I’ll call out now that the portions are HUGE. For example, I ordered a Chip Butty, which is usually a fresh bread and butter sandwich that you fill with lovely fried chips doused in malt vinegar and salt. Heathens may add some tomato ketchup, but at Smiths Fish & Chips it is batter-fried as well and includes fried chips, mushy peas and even mint sauce. It is the KING of Chip Buttys… Oh yeah, and they serve it with…. CHIPS. Holy cow.

Let's see that food...

Battered and deep-fried chip butty and chips. Packed with chips, mushy peas and even mint sauce.

A whopping portion of perfect cod and chips. Slathered with vinegar and a good sprinkle of sea salt. Heavenly.
