After discussing about chicken yesterday at Broaster Chicken, today's post will be targeted towards fish. Fish and Chips is a very popular fried dish. The Fish and Chips dish was created in England and it has been a staple there. In Singapore, there are lots of places that serve fish and chips such as hawker centres, coffeeshops, western food stalls and more. The best one I have tried so far is at Fish and Co. in which their tagline is 'Seafood in a pan'. Fish and co. is a Singapore based seafood restaurant that serves different kinds of seafood such as fish, shrimp and squid. Their signature dish is the Fish and Chips and their restaurants are located islandwide with the flagship outlet located at Park Mall at Dhoby Ghaut.

What I find interesting about this restaurant is that every seat will have this sort of wooden rack in the shape of a fish. It's unique because usually the tables will be empty or will be decorated with plates and cutlery. I believe this is for those pan dishes. It's sort of like a tray to put the pan dishes on. Some of their dishes like the fish and chips, are placed in a pan. So, I guess they put the tray on for the pan. If your order isn't a pan dish (like the pastas), the wooden fish will be taken away.

I like the spiced chips which were thick cut, crispy and the spices weren't spicy but it's just the way I like it. The paella rice is kinda like fried yellow butter rice. I like it as the rice is much better and softer than typical fried rice dishes. I also love the grilled dory fillet. It's so tender and nice to eat. I like their fish it's just so tender, soft and no other words can describe it. Do get the platter since you'll have a huge variety of small bite sized snacks to try. There are also other platters too if this particular platter is not to your liking.

Even though the dish itself is served in a pan, they don't really cook the dish in the pan. Instead, the pan acts like a plate. The Fish and Chips also come with other varieties such as Italian, Swiss and Arctic. The most popular is known as The Best Fish and Chips In Town which is the classic version. Each variety has a different variation and twist. Once you eat, you can never go back to other kinds of fish and chips.
They have this promotion although I'm not so sure if it's still valid now, is this Awesome Top Ups. Basically, when you order a main course like Fish and Chips, pasta or baked rice, you can add any one of these extras for an extra $5.95. For me, I'm not really into these add ons, but if you do, go ahead and make your meal more worth it. (Although any main course is already worth the money.)
Fish and co. serves one of the best fish and chips in town. You should get the one that I got which was the New York fish and chips with cheese stuffing. If you're not a fan of cheese, there are so many varieties available for you to choose from. If you don't fancy fish and chips, then help yourself to some platters, pastas, pizzas and so forth. It's a great family restaurant and the restaurant itself is clean and has friendly staff. If you're on a budget, this isn't the place for you. The prices here are steep. But, you're paying a premium for delicious and high quality food. This restaurant is located islandwide so check their website for more details on the locations. The one I ate was at NEX shopping mall at Serangoon.
