The wait is finally over with the opening of Twiggy’s Fish and Chips in West Central Spokane.Co-owners and husband-and-wife duo Mark Twigg and Maureen Torphy decided to open up shop after craving the English-style fish and chips that Twigg grew up on. For fish and chips newbs, Twiggy’s menu is full of culinary adventures. There are two pea-based sides and tons of other classically British accoutrements for the fried fish meal including the requisite lemony tartar sauce and malt vinegar. A full-size order contains a hefty piece of crispy Pacific cod that can easily be shared between two people. Or get a half order, weighing in at around 5 ounces. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3YpYH0_1EsPx04500" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3YpYH0_1EsPx04500" width="1500" height="1071" ><figcaption>Twiggy’s Co-owner Mark Twigg Leslie Douglas photo</figcaption></figure>TWIGGY'S FISH AND CHIPS“We would have Atlantic cod or halibut [in the U.K.], and then over here we’re using Pacific cod, which is a slightly smaller cod, but it tastes very similar,” Twigg says. “And because we get all of our fish direct from our fishermen up in Alaska, they’re really nice cold waters like it is around the Atlantic.”Most Americans love their french fries crispy, but don’t expect to find that at Twiggy’s. In true British fashion, the chips are cut thick, soaked to get some of the extra starch out, fried first at a lower temperature and put into the fridge, after which they’re fully fried during service time. It’s also the basis for Twigg’s favorite childhood meal, a chip bap, which is basically bread, chips and a side of gravy. “When you’ve got rid of some of the chips, just close it up as a chip sandwich and just dip it in,” he explains. <h2>IZZIE’S K-DOGS</h2>707 W. Main Ave., Suite B-12Classic corn dogs have a core place in many American memories. The Korean version swaps traditional cornmeal breading for a rice and wheat batter and features diverse fillings and toppings, like ooey-gooey cheese in place of a hot dog. Spokanites can finally get their fill at Izzie’s K-Dogs, which opened in April 2026 on the second floor of the Crescent Building.Owner Izzie Wayuono traveled to California to learn the art of the traditional K-dog. One key is how ingredients are rolled into the batter. “If you roll it too thick, it won’t cook right, and if you roll it too thin, you won’t get a good bite of breading,” Wayuono says. Fillings include pork or beef sausage, or mozzarella cheese. (DORA SCOTT)<h2>SALT KING BREWING </h2>1422 W. Third Ave., Open Tue-Sat 11 am-8 pmAaron Fernald’s first peek into the world of brewing was when his parents made a hefeweizen when he was a teenager. Not only did he inherit the hobby he also would go on to start a homebrew supply shop out of his basement in 2019. After the pandemic, Fernald worked diligently toward creating his own brick-and-mortar operation, with Salt King Brewing opening in Browne’s Addition in late May. Fernald is particularly fond of Belgian beer, a style he hopes locals embrace. “There’s the potential for a lot of flavors, not just hop-related,” he says. “I think it’s a style that’s underserved in our community…but it’s so unbelievably refreshing it just blows your mind.” (BOB JOHNSON) <h2>LILAC AND PINE </h2>333 W. Spokane Falls Blvd., Open daily 4-10 pmFormerly Table 13, the Davenport Grand’s revamped lobby restaurant is now called Lilac &amp; Pine. “Table 13 was a hotel restaurant, and we want to be a restaurant that happens to be in the hotel,” says Executive Chef Rudy Velasquez, who worked with Spokane-based spice company Spiceology to create unique seasonings for signature dishes including cedar-roasted salmon and a double-bone pork chop. Nodding to the restaurant’s name, diners can expect floral-forward drinks with 70% of cocktail options also available as mocktails. (DS)</div></body>
