Batterfish was a fish and chip shop in Portland, Oregon. Previously, the business operated in Encino, Los Angeles, as a food truck in Santa Monica, California, and as a food cart in Happy Valley, Oregon. Batterfish specialized in fish and chips and was featured on the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. The restaurant closed by 2023.
Description
[edit | edit source]Batterfish was described as a fish and chip shop on Belmont Street in southeast Portland.[1] The business served catfish, cod, salmon, and tilapia, with chili, curry, garlic ginger, lemon basil, and traditional batter options.[2][3] Sides included fries, onion rings, and peas.[4] Over time, the menu expanded to include burgers, burritos, and sandwiches.[5] Batterfish also served fish tacos and burritos to commemorate a restaurant which had previously operated in the Portland space, as well as vegan options.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]The restaurant opened in Encino, Los Angeles, in 2014,[6] and operated there until June 2016, when owner Jason Killalee announced plans to operate Batterfish as a food truck in Santa Monica, California, starting on July 15.[7][8] In 2017, Batterfish was featured on the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (season 27, episode 3).[9]
In 2020, Batterfish began operating from a food cart at the Happy Valley Station pod in Happy Valley, Oregon.[10][11] The business relocated and became a brick and mortar restaurant in southeast Portland's Sunnyside neighborhood in 2022, operating in a space which previously housed Char Latin Grill.[5] The restaurant closed by 2023, and the restaurant Annam VL moved into the space.[12][13]
Reception
[edit | edit source]In 2015, Lucas Peterson of Eater Los Angeles said Batterfish served the best fish and chips in Los Angeles.[2] Guy Fieri said of the restaurant, "If you can a make a living off a fish and chips truck in a town like Los Angeles, you must be doing it right."[14] Thrillist described Batterfish as an "Encino wonderland" and a "British pub-inspired spot with unique fish and chip options". The site recommended the curry cod with sweet potato fries.[15] Jamie Hale included Batterfish in The Oregonian's 2021 list of Portland's 12 best fish and chip eateries.[11]
