Nestled in the heart of London, just a stone’s throw away from bustling Oxford Street and Holborn, Fishoria Fish and Chips stands as a beacon of tradition and taste.
Fish and chips, a quintessential part of British culinary culture, have a history as rich and flavourful as the dish itself. While time changes, the most beloved fish stay the same – cod, haddock, and plaice. Let’s explore what sets them apart and the perfect sides to accompany them.

Cod, renowned for its mild flavour and flaky texture, is a culinary chameleon. It pairs effortlessly with classic accompaniments like tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and malt vinegar. For a quintessential fish and chips experience at a traditional restaurant like Fishora Fish and Chips in London, serve cod with hand-cut chips, mushy peas, and tangy coleslaw. Its subtle taste also welcomes bold flavours such as garlic and herbs.

Haddock, with its slightly stronger flavour, is a favourite for those seeking a more robust fish. It pairs harmoniously with tangy sauces like tartar or aioli and complements zesty additions like pickles or capers. For a traditional fish and chips feast, accompany haddock with crispy fries, a side of coleslaw, and a spritz of fresh lemon juice.

Plaice, though less common in fish and chips, offers a delicate sweetness and  tender flesh. Lighter sides like steamed veggies, herb-infused couscous, or a crisp garden salad enhance its flavours. A squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of chopped parsley add the perfect finishing touches to a plaice dish.

In essence, whether you’re a fan of cod’s versatility, haddock’s robustness, or plaice’s delicacy, pairing them with the right sides elevates the dining experience, highlighting the best of each fish’s qualities. And with sustainably sourced fish being a priority at Fishora Fish and Chips near Holborn and Tottenham Court Road station, you can enjoy your meal guilt-free, knowing it’s both delicious and environmentally friendly.
