Fish and chips is a classic dish that originated in England and features fish fried in a batter with a side of chips – or as we say in America, fries. Smor has one of the best fish and chips in the city, as it puts its own spin on this popular dish. It features a delicious, Nordic-inspired version of the classic meal with panko breaded fish and salt and pepper fries that is so good, it has become a fan favorite at the restaurant. Consider a flavorful cocktail from the restaurant’s extensive drink menu to enjoy with your plate of fish, too. The pineapple sour is reminiscent of a tropical getaway, and the spicy cucumber is a great choice for a fun drink made with soju, cucumber juice, serrano pepper and lime.
