Hip Chip

The Hip Chip is truly a master at making fish and chips. Their portions are huge and the fish fried perfectly. Their chips are out of this world! It’s a must stop if you’re in Bushmills.

Large quantity of food for the price. Fish was delicious! Have to get it to go but when you’re hungry the location shouldn’t matter.

We conducted a head to head comparison of battered cod between Flash in Pan and Hip Chip across the street for lunch after visit to Bushmill Distillery before heading to the Giant’s Causeway. FiP offered thicker/​juicier cut of fish while Hip Chip offers a crunchier and more flavorful batter. Four of us sampled both and no one really greatly favor one over the other. It’s a quick and simple meal, you cannot go wrong with either.

Note: all my recent vacation in Ireland Unilocal reviews will have the same 1^st paragraph preamble, for just the review itself skip to the 2^nd paragraph.
On a whirlwind 2 week vacation to Ireland, the girlfriend & I tried to see & experience absolutely as much of this incredible land as we could. We did not accomplish every last activity we wished we could have on our rather ambitious itinerary. Nonetheless, we did discover a land of numerous stunning & magical wonders. We did see a land of unending natural beauty. We did learn of a land with a monumentally long history of trials, tragedies & triumphs. We did get to meet many kind, humorous, warm & generous people. Our vacation to Ireland was just 2 weeks, but that was time enough to know this is a land easy to love & a land to be sorely missed.
We came to Bushmills, the town, for Bushmills, the whiskey. After touring all things Bushmills, the whiskey, the girlfriend & I were hungry. So, we went to the center of the tiny town of Bushmills & looked around for something to eat. We quickly came across the Hip Chip & decided to give it a go.
The Hip Chip is a small fish & chips takeaway shop. The girlfriend & I ordered Cod Supper, Scampi, a Scotch Egg & a Pastie. Service was welcoming & prompt, but the food did take a while. It turned out to be well worth the wait.
Sitting down by the river Bush, we dug into our food. The Cod Supper was a huge serving & came with a giant pile of chips. Add in the Scampi, Scotch Egg & Pastie & it was all deep-​fried decadent indulgence. The Cod Supper was actually the best fish & chips I’d had on our vacation in Ireland.
After whiskey earlier & a fried food feast from the Hip Chip, our tummies were plenty happy though our arteries probably not so much. For delicious deep-​fried everything in Bushmills, go to the Hip Chip.
