ONE FISH, TWO WAYS: CRISPY COD -VS- FISH & CHIPS
If you love golden, crispy seafood, we’ve got two irresistible ways to indulge—each with its own personality, setting, and perfect pairing. The only question is: casual midweek tradition or elevated comfort food with a twist?
AT THE FEARRINGTON HOUSE BAR – CRISPY COD WITH A TOUCH OF ELEGANCE
Chef Paul Gagne’s Crispy Cod at The Fearrington Bar is a refined take on the classic. Perfectly fried with a gluten free batter, delicate crunch, the cod is paired with butter-whipped potatoes, sweet English peas, and a bright caper sauce and Malt Vinegar that cuts through the richness in all the right ways. This is comfort food that knows how to dress up.
PAIR IT WITH:
A glass of Albariño or Fainting Goat Der Hoof Hefeweizen from The Bar’s curated wine & beer list—crisp and citrusy that complement the freshness of the dish without overpowering it. Or go bold with a Gold Rush cocktail—its touch of honey and lemon brightens every bite.

AT GALLOWAY’S WINE & BEER BAR – WEDNESDAY NIGHT FISH & CHIPS, PUB-STYLE
Over at Galloway’s Wine Bar, Wednesday Night Fish & Chips is a local favorite and a bit of a weekly ritual. Served hot, crispy, and golden with hand-cut fries and house-made remoulade, it’s pure, satisfying comfort in the cozy glow of our wine cellar bar—often with live music playing nearby
PAIR IT WITH:
Fainting Goat Der Hoof Hefeweizen on tap, or ask for a glass of Txakolina or Sauvignon Blanc from the wine shop—light, zesty, and refreshing alongside the richness of the fried fish.

Whether you’re craving the elevated artistry of The Fearrington Bar or the laid-back charm of Galloway’s Wine Bar, both versions of crispy cod are worthy of your plate.
Pro tip: Try both and pick a favorite—just don’t forget to pair wisely. After all, what’s fish without the perfect pour?
AT GALLOWAY’S WINE SHOP
Raptor Ridge Estate Cuvée Blanc de Noirs 2020, $35
Elegant and expressive, this méthode champenoise sparkler from Oregon’s Willamette Valley delivers delicate bubbles, bright acidity, and subtle richness from four years en tirage. Crafted from Pinot Noir grapes with minimal skin contact, it balances freshness with depth—thanks to fermentation in both stainless steel and neutral French oak. Perfect on its own or with oysters, soft cheeses, or our crispy cod choices.
Wine Director Troy Revell says:
“This is one of those rare sparkling wines that punches far above its price point—complex, precise, and refreshingly dry. A beautiful bottle to elevate any celebration or just a Tuesday.”
