Roger's Fish & Chips Opens at Logan Airport; Roger Berkowitz Behind the Place

Last summer, it was reported that a familiar name would be opening a new seafood place, and now we have learned that it is up and running.

According to a press release, Roger's Fish & Chips is now open at Logan Airport in East Boston, moving into a 700-square-foot space at Terminal A. As mentioned in an earlier article here, Roger Berkowitz--who was president and CEO of Legal Sea Foods before selling the business in 2020--is behind the dining spot, with Berkowitz also running Roger's Fish Co., an online seafood company that sells and ships flash-frozen seafood. Roger's Fish & Chips is a fast-casual counter service place that offers such items as clam chowder, fish and chips, a lobster BLT, crab cakes, and beer, cider, and frozen cocktails.

Roger's Fish & Chips Plans to Open at Logan Airport in East Boston

A new fish and chips place may be on its way to Logan Airport, and a very familiar name is behind it.

According to a licensing board hearing page, Roger's Fish & Chips is seeking a common victualler license and a full liquor license for a space at Terminal A (Unit AS-2-A02), with the eatery having 700 square feet of space and being in an area of the terminal where there are other food vendors along with a food court seating area. The manager listed for the spot is Roger Berkowitz, who was president and CEO of Legal Sea Foods before selling the business in 2020, and who currently runs Roger's Fish Co., an online seafood company that sells and ships flash-frozen seafood across the country.

There doesn't appear to be a website for Roger's Fish & Chips (and more should be known about the proposed dining spot by later this week), but the website for Roger's Fish Co. is at https://www.rogersfishco.com/

British Pub Batters The Black Rose's Record for Largest Serving of Fish and Chips

An Irish pub in Boston no longer holds the record for the larges plate of fish and chips, as another pub, this one in Britain, beat their record over the past weekend.

According to the Yorkshire Post, The Wensleydale Heifer in West Witton (North Yorkshire) created a fish supper that weighed 101 pounds, moving well past the record of 78 pounds formerly held by The Black Rose on State Street in downtown Boston. The article mentions that record-breaking meal included a huge fillet of halibut that was placed in more than four gallons of batter, then cooked in oil for a total of seven hours. The dish included buckets of chips and a vat of peas.

The record was confirmed by Guinness World Records, according to the Yorkshire Post.

The website for The Wensleydale Heifer can be found at http://www.wensleydaleheifer.co.uk/, while the website for The Black Rose is at http://www.blackroseboston.com/

The Battery in Brighton Has Apparently Closed

It appears that a fish and chips place in Brighton Center has closed down. The Battery, a tiny Washington Street restaurant that opened in the fall of 2008, now has a "for lease" sign in the window, according to posters on the Chowhound and Yelp sites. It was originally thought that The Battery was closed for renovations, but sometime around Christmas, the "for lease" sign apparently went up.

While The Battery featured fish and chips, the restaurant also offered salads, burgers, chicken sandwiches, battered sausage, potato pies, chicken wings, and a few other items.

The Battery was located at 379 Washington Street, a short distance west of the Market Street intersection in the center of Brighton.

A new fish and chips place called The Battery has opened in Brighton. The dining spot looks to be mostly a takeout place, but there are a few tables for folks who want to dine in.

The Battery is located on Washington Street, just west of the Market Street intersection, in Brighton Center.

(Thanks to Yelpers and Chowhounders for bringing this new restaurant to our attention.)
