8 Best Fish and Chips in Singapore (2026)

Fish and chips in Singapore comes in more forms than the British original: a hawker stall's dory fillet and crinkle fries, a halal mall chain's barramundi with a choice of sauces, an Irish pub's whole snapper, or a bistro's beer-battered halibut dressed up with caviar. This guide gathers eight real, currently-operating spots across that range, each checked against its own website, social accounts or recent food coverage from 2025 and 2026. It skips anywhere that could not be confirmed as still trading, and leaves out prices, since these change often. Use it as a shortlist to compare by fish type, format and budget rather than a strict ranking of one best plate.

Big Fish Small Fish began in 2017 as a shipping-container pop-up at a Punggol container park, and has since grown into a halal-certified chain with mall outlets including Bugis Junction, Suntec City, Hillion Mall and Century Square. Its menu offers a choice of salmon, seabass or dory, battered fresh to order, and its signature twist is swapping standard fries for a generous pile of thin potato crisps, though a more traditional version with shoestring fries and tartar sauce is also offered. Diners help themselves at a self-service counter stocked with sauces, including local flavours like salted egg and XO alongside the standard options. It relaunched its menu in March 2026, and its MUIS halal certification is renewed yearly, so it is worth confirming in-store.

BatterCatch is a MUIS halal-certified chain bringing British-style fish and chips to six mall locations, including VivoCity, Orchard Central, Great World, NEX, IMM and Bedok Mall. It operates under Minor Food Singapore, the group behind Din Tai Fung and ThaiExpress here, per the group's own site. The beach-themed diner fries a choice of fish, including barramundi and dory, in a light golden batter, and its most-ordered option is a thick-cut barramundi fillet said to flake cleanly once cut. Plates come with chunky fries and the traditional trio of condiments: mushy peas, tartar sauce and brown sauce. The halal certification makes it a dependable pick for group outings with mixed dietary needs, and its mall locations mean reliable seating across the island.

South Bank Fish & Chips is a fast-casual restaurant at One Holland Village that opened in 2025, occupying a sun-drenched alfresco corner its own listings describe as pet-friendly, with dogs welcomed at outdoor tables. The kitchen offers a choice of four fish for its fish and chips: dory, halibut, barramundi or haddock, each served with crispy fries, mushy peas, house-made tartar sauce and a choice of curry or brown sauce. The setting leans toward a relaxed, sit-down brunch-and-dinner spot rather than a quick counter, suiting a lingering meal with a pet or a group over a fast plate. As a newer entrant to Singapore's fish and chips scene, it is worth checking current hours before a special trip, as with any recently opened restaurant.

NOSH Bistro is a Western-Asian fusion restaurant with a dark, industrial-chic dining room on Henderson Road, plus a second outlet at Victory 8 in Sembawang. It has built a following for its fish and chips, which food coverage has repeatedly highlighted for an extra-large version several times the size of the regular plate; the standard dish uses a dory fillet in a light, crispy batter, while the XL option is said to switch to halibut. Beyond the headline dish, the menu mixes Western comfort food with local touches such as a dry laksa. It suits diners after a hearty, sit-down meal or a food challenge with a group, and both outlets keep a mid-afternoon kitchen break between lunch and dinner service.

Scruffy Murphy's is a long-running, old-school Irish pub near Kent Ridge, built around sports screenings, live bands and no-frills pub grub for a mostly student and neighbourhood crowd. Its fish and chips stands out for serving a whole deboned red snapper, tail intact, rather than the more usual fillet, paired with chips and a side of peas the menu describes as mint-infused. The kitchen's wider menu leans into an Irish-meets-local mix, pairing pub standards with dishes such as nasi lemak and Hainanese pork chop, which the venue presents as a deliberate house style rather than a one-off special. It suits a casual pint-and-a-plate evening with a match on screen more than a quiet meal, given the sports-bar atmosphere and regular live-music nights.

5 Star Corner Western Food is a veteran hawker-style stall inside Yong Soon Cafe in Hougang Central, a short walk from Hougang MRT, and has been frying old-school Western plates for close to two decades. Its fish and chips uses thick dory fillets that reviewers describe as marinated before being coated in a house-made batter and deep-fried to a crisp, light shell around moist, flaky flesh. The stall keeps every dish, including its generous fish and chips, priced as an affordable hawker meal rather than a restaurant one, which has built its reputation for big portions at coffeeshop prices. As a single-stall, family-run operation, it keeps hawker-centre hours, so it pays to visit outside the lunchtime crowd to avoid queuing at this popular counter.

Fisherios Fish N Chips is a casual counter inside the basement FoodHall at Ngee Ann City's Takashimaya department store on Orchard Road, set apart from the food court's usual crowds with its own small diner-style seating. Its menu centres on a Cod & Chips plate, described by regulars as a crisp beer-battered fillet, alongside a fish and chips set bundled with a cup of soup and a drink. The open counter lets diners watch their meal being fried to order, giving it more of a specialist chippy feel than a typical department-store food stall. It suits a quick, fuss-free meal while shopping on Orchard Road rather than a sit-down occasion, and it keeps mall opening hours rather than late-night ones.

Tanglin Cookhouse is a modern restaurant describing its own food as British fare given a Singaporean accent, with outlets at Tanglin Mall and Paya Lebar Quarter. Its fish and chips uses a beer-battered halibut fillet, served with classic sides of fries and coleslaw, and the kitchen has occasionally offered a dressed-up version finished with avruga caviar. The wider menu sits alongside dishes like a Hainanese-style Kurobuta pork cutlet, underlining the restaurant's pitch of British classics reworked with local ingredients rather than a straight reproduction of a UK chippy. It suits a proper sit-down meal in a mall setting, at the more polished end of Singapore's fish and chips options, rather than a quick bite, and both outlets keep full restaurant hours daily.
