Fish and Chips from GG's Kitchen

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.

What goes into the batter

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.

Getting the temperature right

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.

Choosing and preparing the seafood

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.

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.

Tips for the home kitchen

While our recipe remains a secret, we’re happy to share some expert tips to help home cooks achieve that restaurant-quality crunch:

• Always pat your fish dry before battering
• Let your batter rest for 15-20 minutes before frying
• Maintain consistent oil temperature
• Don’t overcrowd the fryer

Whether you catch us at our Brooklyn food truck or visit our restaurant, our fish and chips are more than just a meal—they’re a taste of home, tradition, and pure culinary joy.

“No shortcuts, just soul” isn’t just our motto—it’s our promise to you.

Come hungry. Leave happy.
