Chic N Fish

I don't get over to the Peninsula to eat much but when I do I try to hit Chic N Fish in Newport News. I haven't found a better place in the area to buy Korean style fried chicken. Unlike Southern fried chicken Korean style doesn't have the thick batter or coating on it. It's tossed in seasoning then double fried. They fry it twice to give it a nice crispy skin that is light without being greasy.

At Chic N Fish you can get it with three different sauces: Soy Garlic, Spicy and Extra Spicy. On our trip we got the Soy Garlic and Spicy pieces. We ordered 16 wings between the two of us and ate every single one. These are cooked to order so if you don't call ahead you might have a wait, depending on how busy the place is. It's better to eat them fresh, because if you saved some for later you'll lose the crispiness you get from the double fry.

Chick N Fish, Newport News, VA

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.
