Get to Know British-style Fish and Chips at This New BGC Spot

Fish and chips, the quintessential British meal of beer-battered fish paired with thick, hand-sliced fried potatoes, is easy to put in one's comfort food list. Crunchy beer batter that gives way to steaming hot flaky fish is a satisfying meal that doesn't need a lot of fanfare. Here's how to eat fish and chips, the British way, according to the chefs at newly-opened CargoFish: 

1 Cod is usually used but dory, tilapia, and cobbler are great, too.

"We usually have beer-battered cod and sprinkle salt and malt vinegar on them," shares Matthew Hornsby-Bates, managing partner of CargoFish, a "chippy" that officially opens to the public on April 4, Tuesday.

At CargoFish, you can opt for other fish other than cod such as cobbler, dory, tilapia, and even salmon.

2 It's usually paired with mushy peas and curry sauce.

Aside from a generous sprinkle of salt and a dash of malt vinegar, fish and chips is usually served with a curry sauce and mushy peas, says Matthew.

Mushy peas in on CargoFish's menu: it's a hearty side dish made from fresh peas boiled and cooked with butter, salt, and cream (or lemon juice) to create a texture that resembles a puree.
