Stowe's Seafood · West Haven
Stowe’s is a shorefront seafood counter with fish and chips among its regular orders. The current menu lets you pick cod, haddock, sole or another seafood for a boat or a two-item combo, with fries, coleslaw and sauce alongside. Start with cod or haddock for a straightforward fried-fish plate.
Duffy's Tavern · West Haven
Duffy’s puts an Irish pub spin on fish and chips: fresh cod is hand-battered with Smithwick’s Irish ale and served with fries. The wider comfort-food menu includes shepherd’s pie and pot roast, but the ale-battered cod is the order for a fish fry at this West Haven tavern.
The Trinity Bar & Restaurant · Downtown
The Trinity Bar folds chip-shop fish and chips into a menu that mixes Irish and American pub food. Beef and Guinness stew, shepherd’s pie and Irish breakfast share space with chowder, wings and burgers. Order the fish and chips for a classic pub-style fried-fish plate in downtown New Haven.
Seven Seas Restaurant · Milford
Fish and chips are a signature dish at this Milford seafood pub. Its current menu describes a breaded cod plate with fries and coleslaw, while the seafood section also offers fried scallops, shrimp and clam strips. Order the cod for the house’s direct take on fish and chips.
80 Proof American Kitchen & Bar · Downtown
80 Proof keeps fish and chips on a seafood-leaning bar menu. The current cod plate comes with housemade tartar sauce and coleslaw, and you can choose standard, Cajun or waffle fries. Fried calamari and lobster cream mussels offer other seafood paths, but order the cod for a straight fish-and-chips meal.
