Yongkang Lu (Yongkang Road) used to be a simple vegetable market, lightly tucked away into one of the many corners of Shanghai’s former French Concession. These days, it has become the city’s latest not-to-be-missed venue and most talked about hip street. Now bustling with restaurants, bakeries, cafés, art galleries, boutiques and tea stores, I just had to check it out.
One of Yongkang Lu’s most popular restaurants is The Sailors Fish and Chips, proudly serving the most authentic fish n’ chips I’ve tasted in mainland China so far. Started by three Fudan University graduates, this tiny restaurant serves freshly battered fish with your choice of flounder, pollock, sea bass, or Pacific cod in classic tartar sauce or malt vinegar. Little appetizers of squid rings, shrimps and scallops are also available as well as side orders such as mushy peas and extra chips. Before we knew it, Marc and I were digging into all things fishy…
