Fish and Chips.

[Abdulmajid]

Describe for me if you will be so kind, your perfect Fish 'n' Chips.

Mine:

Large Cod. Battered very crispy with the skin still on the fish.

Large Chips. Again slightly over fried and of average size. Not the French fries style ones nor the huge, almost roast potatoe ones you get from the Chinese takeaway. Just average size.

Tub of mushy peas

Two or three white bread rolls.

Large pickled egg

Sprinkle of salt

Loads of vinegar

NO ketchup!!!!

Any variations?

Wardy - that exactly how I fry fish for my guest and I use a beer batter for the fish.

[whiffey]

Skate, floppy chips fried in dripping, loads of ketchup and salad cream, and the 21st century touch - chilli sauce.

[weeal]

[scoobysoo]

Haddock, no skin, crispy batter, not greasy
Small portion of chips, with lots and lots of salt and vinegar
Mushy peas
Ketchup
White bread and butter- not too think
Big mug of builder's tea

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!

cod in a crupiy batter, no skin
slightly overdone chips, not too fat, a bit soggy rather than crispy , best made with new potatoes
curry sauce
salt and vinegar lots of

[unrulyjulie]

*crispy* (not sure what happened there! )

[Abdulmajid]

Indeed jules. I make many a mistake with spelling and childish errors but CRUPIY?????

I too am flumoxed by your finger actions.

crupiy, I ask you.

[unrulyjulie]

thing is abdul, my fingers work way too fast for my brain leading to horrendous typos such as this, mind you, reading that word again, i do think it has a certain ring to it!

[bensmum]

Nice thick Haddock fillet in crispy batter
Chunky chips
Mushy peas
Loads of salt & vinegar
and maybe a pickled egg!

[Abdulmajid]

Indeed pickled eggs. A firm favourite.

chicken and chips, chips have to be slightly over cooked and enough salt and vinegar on them to make my eyes water :D

[helliebobs]

cod, skin on, crispy batter, chips cooked in dripping the traditional way (athough I won't eat all of them) and loads of salt, no vinegar, no sauce, side portion of mushy peas. You have to have something wet with chips :)

[Dusty Bin]

I don't like the batter to be overly crispy

[sense4all]

Large cod, skin on, smooth semi-fluffed beer batter ( not that horrid 'barnacle batter' that you get when they have the fat too hot and your fish isn't properly cooked 'cos the batter'll burn) Thick- golden brown, almost like a wwII bombcasing, which when bitten reveals a fluffy fully cooked potato inner - apply lashings of vinegar and a bit of salt. No ketchup and as a rare treat a buttered doorstop butty - soft sqaushy bread you can leave your palm print in when you press it together. Now I'm hugry ... ta chuck! lol.
