What the creator captured
Insider Food explored London's fish and chip scene, comparing traditional styles with modern, 'new-school' interpretations like tempura-battered sea bream. They were particularly impressed by the freshness of the sea bass at Billingsgate Market and the perfectly crispy, non-greasy cod at The Golden Chippy. The journey highlighted the contrast between classic chip shop textures and innovative flavor infusions like seaweed salt and truffle mayo.
