While South Florida’s balmy temperatures, swaying palm trees, and obsession with Cuban coffee are staunch reminders, we bare little resemblance to our British friends across the pond; we still hold a soft spot for that accent, the ever-intriguing Royal Family and, of course,, fish and chips.

The tradition of battered and fried fish is said to have been brought over to England in the late 1880s by Jewish immigrants from Spain and Portugal and eventually paired with French fries, or “chips.” The humble dish soon found its way in every British city and town, served on newspapers in local “chippys” and pubs.

We’ve gathered some of our favorite local spots to indulge in this finger-licking favorite.

Bubbys Fish ‘n Chips

Hailing as Miami’s only restaurant dedicated to fish and chips, this North Miami spot offers several interesting takes on the classic pub dish. Here guests can choose from five different fish options to create their fish and chip platter, offering everything from the classic cod to salmon to tuna, which all can be prepared lightly fried or grilled.

Mike's At Venetia

Take the elevator to the ninth floor of Venetia Condo to this old-time Irish pub. Surrounded by endless TV screens and a vast array of drink options, patrons can indulge in a vast array of dishes, but for those craving Fish n’ Chips, it comes prepared with the traditional cod and served with a side of cole slaw.

Politics aside, the Irish also love fish and chips, and this Miami Beach pub dutifully complies. The crispy, beer-battered cod comes served with fries and even a chardonnay recommendation for those who want to elevate their meal.

Wet Willie's

For those seeking a great spot for people-watching, this pub offers second-floor balcony seating to watch the world go by. Put the beer order on pause: this venue is known for a dizzying array of frozen daiquiris. Whether opting for the Bob Marley, Attitude Improvement, or Call a Cab, the fish and chips—which comes with Cajun remoulade—rounds things off.

Garcia's Seafood Grille & Fish Market

Copy Link

Garcia’s may not wrap its fish and chips in a newspaper as the Scots do, but diners know this riverside staple is the place to go for some of the freshest—and best—fish in town. While there are plenty of fried fish fillet options here, the hog snapper or grouper serves well as a tropical stand-in for the OG fish and chips. Do you want to give it a full Miami feel? Swap out the chips for fried tostones.

Located inside Kimpton Angler’s Hotel, this neighborhood restaurant typically spotlights American seafood dishes with a twist. Luckily, there are some geographical liberties, hence the South Beach Fish & Chips, which features local Mahi Mahi and yucca fries: taking the classic Irish meal and giving it a South Florida feel.

La Camaronera Seafood Joint and Fish Market

This South Florida seafood staple has every kind of sea creature served in every way. While the Little Havana restaurant is steeped in its Cuban identity (it was founded in 1973 by Cuban fishermen), fish and chips fans can easily conjure up a tasty understudy by ordering the corvina or mahi mahi filets that can conveniently come with fries.

John Martin's Irish Pub & Restaurant

Copy Link

The landmark Irish pub on Miracle Mile has had a steady, loyal fan base since opening in 1989, and it came back to life after a nearly-three year closure, thanks to COVID-19. And while it came back to life with new owners and a revamped look, the fish and chips remain one of the best in town. Thick, crunchy batter seals in tender, perfectly-cooked fish. The fries are also outstanding. The only faux pause: it doesn’t automatically arrive with vinegar.

This longstanding (50-plus years) casual hangout is the place to go for colorful tropical drinks, waterfront views, and fresh seafood. The fish and chips do not disappoint, particularly when paired with South Florida flair: a Miami Vice (half pina colada, half rum runner) cocktail.
