UEDF Fish & Chips was a fish and chip shop in Altadena, California.
UEDF Fish & Chips was founded in 1998 by Abdul Muhammad, originally to help the Masjid Al-Taqwa move from its previous location on Fair Oaks Avenue to its current location on Lake Avenue, both in Altadena. [1]
The acronym "UEDF" stands for the United Economic Development Fund, a non-profit organization established by Muhammad to aid in the economic empowerment of Altadena's local African American community. [1] Both the UEDF and the restaurant shared facilities, [2] with Muhammad and his wife, Regina C. Grimes, purchasing both the property hosting both entities and the building for the Masjid Al-Taqwa which was located next door. [1]
The restaurant was destroyed in the 2025 Eaton Fire. [3]
UEDF Fish & Chips was noted for serving halal fried chicken, coleslaw, yams, potato salad, black-eyed peas, and hushpuppies, [2] in addition to standard fish and chips made with either tilapia, catfish or red snapper. [4]
The restaurant's fish and chips was locally regarded, leading to the San Gabriel Valley Tribune listing UEDF Fish & Chips as one of the eight best fish and chip shops in the San Gabriel Valley. [4]
