There are some dishes so perfectly suited to pub life that they've become inseparable from the experience. Fish and chips is one of them. At Nine Irish Brothers, we take this classic seriously — because it deserves to be.
Our full order of fish and chips features two generous haddock fillets, each battered fresh in a light lager batter that fries up golden and crisp without becoming heavy. Haddock is the traditional choice in the British Isles, prized for its clean, mild flavor and firm white flesh that holds up beautifully under a proper batter. This isn't the frozen, pre-battered stuff you'll find elsewhere. It's the real deal.
The fillets arrive alongside a generous serving of pub chips — thick-cut, twice-cooked, and properly seasoned. Not french fries. Chips. There's a difference, and once you taste it, you won't go back. A scoop of fresh coleslaw rounds out the plate, adding a cool crunch that balances the richness of the fish.
Of course, no plate of fish and chips is complete without proper condiments. We keep malt vinegar on the table, because some traditions exist for a reason. A squeeze of lemon, a shake of vinegar, and you're in business.
Fish and chips has been a staple of Irish pub culture since the late nineteenth century. Historically, it was affordable, filling, and beloved by working families, wrapped in newspaper and eaten on street corners after a long day. Today, it's a comfort food that carries nostalgia and warmth in every bite.
At Nine Irish Brothers, we serve it with that same spirit — simple, satisfying, and made with care. Whether you're coming in for a quick lunch or settling in for an evening with friends, our fish and chips is the kind of dish that makes you want to linger.
Pair it with a pint of Guinness or a cold Harp Lager, and you've got yourself one of the great simple pleasures in life. Come see why Nine Irish Brothers has become Lafayette and West Lafayette's go-to destination for authentic Irish pub food.
We serve lunch and dinner seven days a week at both our Lafayette location on State Road 38 East and our West Lafayette location on Howard Avenue near the Purdue campus.
