Where to Find The Best Fish & Chips in Egypt - A SceneEats Guide

Delicious, give me 14 of them right now, with a bottle of (tartar) sauce…

Farah Awadallah

Whether you’re after that authentic British vibe or craving a fresh twist on a classic, fish and chips reign as the ultimate comfort food royalty. This flavourful duo isn’t just a meal—it’s a crispy, golden escape from the ordinary.

But let’s be honest: perfecting fish and chips is no easy feat. It’s a delicate balance. The fish must be flaky and juicy, while the batter needs to stay crisp, resisting the dreaded sogginess after a few bites. And as for the fries? They need to be thick, golden, and crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside.

Crafting this dish takes real skill. So, here’s where you can find the best fish and chips in Egypt, guaranteed to satisfy your deep-fried cravings…
