Fresh North Atlantic haddock fillet dipped in beer batter and fried to a shatteringly crisp golden shell, served with thick steak-cut chips, malt vinegar, mushy peas and tartare. The Boston Irish-pub default.
Boston's Irish-pub fish and chips tradition descends from the city's 19th-century Irish immigrant wave and the proximity of the Georges Bank haddock fishery. The Boston version is haddock-specific (not cod, as in much of the UK); haddock has been the New England fish of choice since the colonial era, when it was salt-cured and exported. The Atlantic Fish Co, Legal Sea Foods, and the Union Oyster House (1826, oldest restaurant in continuous operation in America) all serve canonical versions. The defining Boston touch: ALWAYS haddock, ALWAYS thick steak-cut chips (not fries or wedges), served with malt vinegar.
