If anyone of you find yourself on a Friday evening in Harlem on your way to St. Nick's pub for a spot of jazz then do make a little detour towards Devin's Fish & Chips. A tiny place at the corner of 149th and St. Nicholas Avenue which serves traditional Harelm food like fish and chips, fried shrimp, okra, corn on the cobb and a refreshing lemonade or iced tea to wash it all down with.
The fried fish was absolutely yummy! The secret lies most probably in the batter which was extremely flavorful and complimented the white fish rather well. And you know how that goes! Eating with your fingers is a must. Dip that chip in the bright red tomato sauce and don't wipe your mouth until you are done!!!
For dessert we had the corn on the cobb which was so very sweet and tender.......The one problem that you might face (that is if you are in a rush) Devin's does tend to get a little overcrowded and quite busy! Those fish and chips are Gowd Damm Goood. There are no tables - a few stools and a beautiful little countertop with some charming old photographs of the area is part of the simple decor. Yes, this is a must stop in Harlem!
