SIG & CHIPS

Sig & Chips is a restaurant on Alek Manukyan street in Yerevan built around one fish: sig, a whitefish species from Lake Sevan. The kitchen batters and fries it in a British fish-and-chips style, and builds the rest of the menu around it — a sig burger, a sig carpaccio, a crispy sig salad with parmesan, and the namesake sig & chips plate with tartar sauce.

Prices on the menu run from 1800 dram for the carpaccio to 3000 dram for the sig & chips main. The pitch is simple: a Sevan lake fish handled with a British frying technique, rather than a wider Armenian or international menu.

This is in Yerevan itself, on Alek Manukyan street, roughly 1 km north-northeast of the city center by straight-line distance.
