Guide to the best fish and chips in Singapore

Fish and chips is something we all grew up with, and that means cravings for it are going to surface. There are two types of batters that dominate the fish and chips scene in Singapore. The batter is responsible for protecting the fish as it fries, keeping it moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. Traditional English fish and chips use a beer batter, which gives an incredibly fluffy appearance. Locally, some Western food joints prefer to use a crumb-style batter, which makes the fish extra crispy while sacrificing some of the fish’s natural texture. Whatever the preference, our guide to the best fish and chips in Singapore will surely come in handy.
