Fish and Chips , Seattle’s “Chippies” Do It Right

A standard of the UK working class during the late 1800’s, fish and chips has become a standard dish enjoyed at pubs around the world. Thick cut potato fries and battered cod (or sometimes Haddock) deep fried to a golden brown make a perfect pairing. Add a little malted vinegar, salt, and a pint of your favorite ale, and you have a meal to talk about.

Make your visit to Seattle memorable by visiting one (or all) of these local “chippies.”
