Once in a while, we’ll have a hankering for a hearty serving of chunky chips and crispy battered fish. This British staple has always been a favorite when it comes to a fun and fulfilling meal with no care for calories.
Traditionally, fish and chips are prepared using cod or haddock. At new chippy Fishmonger, however, those golden bites are made using local fish. Fishmonger works with a supplier from Koh Lanta, which delivers the fresh catch to the shop within 48 hours. These include painted sweetlips, barracuda, black kingfish, grouper and John snapper, as well as more exotic “fish of the day” options like amberjack, barramundi and coral trout. The fish is prepared using a Japanese approach called ikejime, which helps keep the meat firm and fresh.
These locally sourced fish are turned into mouth-watering dishes such as classic fish and chips, big fat fish burgers, and grilled fish salad (each dish starts from B195). You can pair these with onion rings or something more “ex-squid-sit” like the Louisiana squid or, for the sake of your stomach, get both!
Fishmonger is located at art and lifestyle space GalileOasis and is open every day (except Tuesday) from 11:30 to 20:00.
