The Fish & Chip Co

Fish and chips sounds simple, but getting it right in Gauteng means managing oil temperatures in summer heat, timing the batter so it's crisp on the outside but not tough, and sourcing fish that's actually fresh enough to hold up to a proper fry. The Fish & Chip Co works within real constraints—keeping consistency during load shedding, managing prep in a bustling kitchen, and delivering food that hasn't sat around getting soggy during the drive from shop to table. The order of operations in a fish fry matters more than most people realise: correct oil temperature, proper batching, immediate plating. It's the kind of thing that separates a fish and chips that's worth the money from one that tastes like a missed opportunity.
