If it wasn't fried in a chippy in the UK, then it's not fish and chips. There's no substitute for the traditional fryers and letting it settle under heat lamps. I had it once in New Zealand and the fish was square shaped???

It's got to be cod or rock salmon at a push. Just salt, no vinegar with scraps. The chips have to be slightly mushy as well. I can't abide by overly crispy chips.

I'm in line waiting for a large Cornish hake with chips rite now and it's going to be amazing because Lazy Rick knows how to fry and knows what's up!

Kids are having a battered sausage, chicken fingers and chips, wife's got gluten-free cod and chips.

All with salt and vinegar.

Nom nom nom nom nom

Love it. Grew up in an area of Canada with a lot of newfies, Portuguese and brits so fish dishes were taken seriously..fish and chips places were / area super popular

Tartar sauce is made to cover up the taste of frozen fish sticks. Fresh fried fish just needs an acid like malt vinegar or lemon

I like how the stereotype of terrible British cuisine was hit perfectly in this post.

Bland fish with soggy fries. Exquisite.

This thread made me abandon my planned lunch salad and hit up Captain D's

for this

Not my favorite, but the drive through makes weekday lunch possible. Some may be surprised to hear it came with ketchup, tarter sauce, Louisiana hot sauce, and malt vinegar in the bag. I prefer a nice pub or restaurant for this.

The place that hooked me was in Faslane, Scotland. Maybe this place from image search,

The line was out the door, you had to walk in and carry out your food wrapped in newspaper. Flakey, greasy, and delicious. I tried haggis from the same shop and loved it.
I was disappointed in the fish & chips I got in Portsmouth and London.....

 

[BB in Crazy!!!!]

Yes. One of the best places I have been to was the Codfather in Charleston.

I love the fish and tartar sauce but eating it in conjunction with fries (chips) is a bit too greasy for my tastes.

Instead of fish and chips it should be fish and salad, or fish and brown rice, or something that balances out the fried fish.

Tartar sauce is like the best condiment too. Wish it went well on more things besides fish

Fried fish , french fries and coleslaw is on the menu at a ton of Italian and pizza places in the US. I think it is linked with Catholicism and eating fish during lent.

It is good but it is not something I would ever think to order myself. Especially not over pizza.

With the irony being it was brought to the UK 400 years ago by Spanish/Portuguese migrants with most of the chippies being run by Italians since 1900.

Don't like fish but there's a joint near me that does deep fried clams and chips that are amazing.

I’ve eaten my fair share of fish n chips. Headed to a popular fish n chip spot with a buddy tomorrow for lunch.

 

[Fatality]

john's lunch?

Yup that's the place. You a local or just visited?

 

[PRESIDENT TRUMP]

It depends. In America they use too much tartar sauce and flesh of the fish isn't as meaty/flakey. They don't have the mushy peas, the vinegar or the gravy on the side. I think you at least need that. I can do without the pickled eggs and fried oreos found in chip shops.

This might be the dumbest shit ive ever heard. You've never left the UK, and you're making things up.

 

[HeffDoesWant]

Hell yes.

Ive found that with the right store bought ingredients i can make very damn good fish and chips in an Air Fryer.

Only part lacking is the tartare. No substitute for fresh on that.

Yes, with mushy peas too

In Wales I had a Pea . Basically smashed up peas, battered and deep fried. Size of a hockey puck or so.

AMAZING.

was a local, even lived in woodside at one point

 

[BoomStronk]

No. Had some fish n chips recently after a 6 day hike, and it was way too heavy. An inch of Grease soaked batter around an otherwise nice piece of fish.

It's the same every time I've eaten it. Way too greasy to be delicious. It always seems like a good idea until about the third bite.

Fish tacos, on thr other hand are delicious. If you're gonna batter and deep fry fish, you gotta surround it with a liberal portion of nice fish crisp vegetables and a dash of tangy hotsauce

 

[Jesus H. Sherdog]

Ono is the best fish for fish and chips imo. Yes I like it but don’t eat it too often.
