Chick N Fish, Newport News, VA

August 1, 2013

Chic N Fish in Newport News, VA has the fabled Korean styled fried chicken you might have heard about in hushed conversations. The small, nondescript shop serves both traditional Southern styled fried chicken and fish fry. If you want  the Korean styled fried chicken make sure you give yourself 30 minutes for preparation. Its cooked differently than traditional and it is covered in your choice of glaze from savory to hot and spicy.

My friend got the fried flounder sandwich that was huge—this photo doesn’t do this justice. As a bonus, they offer pickled radish as a refreshing side if you choose to take it.
