Fries before everything.
Two exciting bits of news for foodies of Liverpool and beyond. The mysterious halloumi fries and an American favourite doughnut fries are now in Liverpool. And the best part? They’re under the same roof. Baltic Market – Liverpool’s premiere street food market opened its doors to the public on June 30th to thousands and thousands of people. The idea is simple; the best and most interesting independent street food traders all under one roof with some good drinks, live music and lots of you. What more could you want?

Rumours circulated Merseyside beyond of a food trader named Hafla Hafla doing halloumi fries. Big hunks of deep fried halloumi topped with red onion and pomegranate reduction. Off the Richter scale on a Weight Watchers sin scale but oh so worth it. If that wasn’t already enough deep fried goodness, The Midnight Delivery; purveyors of all things sweet and sinful delivered to your door have entered a realm we never even knew existed. Doughnut fries. As in deep fried strips of doughnuts deep-fried, coated in cinnamon sugar and saturated in Nutella. It’s a good thing there’s a separate organ for desserts as after one visit to Baltic Market, you’re going to need all the space you can get.
