Every great dish starts with a remarkable foundation, and at GG’s, our fish and chips are no exception. Our special batter recipe is a carefully guarded family secret that transforms ordinary seafood into an extraordinary culinary experience.
We’ve spent years perfecting a light, airy batter that clings perfectly to fresh fish, creating a golden-brown exterior that crackles with each bite.
The magic begins with our unique blend of ingredients:
✔ Flour & Cornstarch – The perfect base for crispiness
✔ Secret Spice Blend – A mix that enhances flavor and texture
✔ Precision Mixing – Allowing the batter to rest and develop before frying
Unlike typical batter recipes, our approach creates microscopic air pockets that deliver that signature crunch.
The Science of Sizzling: Temperature & Technique
Temperature is everything when it comes to creating the perfect fish and chips. Our skilled chefs understand that oil temperature can make or break the entire dish.
🔥 We maintain our fryers at the ideal 350-375°F—a sweet spot that ensures a crispy exterior while keeping the fish inside tender and flaky.
At GG’s, we use only the freshest seafood, including:
- Whiting
- Catfish
- Shrimp
- Salmon
Each piece is cut and prepared with meticulous attention to detail, creating a seafood food truck NYC experience that stands out from the crowd.
From Our Kitchen to Your Plate: The GG’s Difference
What truly sets our fish and chips apart is the love and tradition we pour into every single dish. Each piece of fish is:
✔ Hand-battered
✔ Carefully lowered into the oil
✔ Fried to golden perfection
We don’t believe in shortcuts—our commitment to authentic, from-scratch cooking means you’re tasting a piece of culinary heritage with every bite.
The Perfect Pairing: Our Hand-Cut Fries
Our sides are just as carefully crafted as our main dish:
✔ Hand-cut fries – Made from locally sourced potatoes and seasoned with our signature spice blend
✔ Homemade tartar sauce – The perfect complement to our crispy fish
This isn’t just a meal—it’s a celebration of flavor, technique, and soul food tradition.
