Poncy fish and chips wtf

[ArseholesFlatfish]

We ate out today and I had fishnchips
The fish was cooked in tempura batter,the seven chunky chips where placed in a nice little pile and they didnt have mushy peas they had crushed minted petit pois

I dont know about you but I like getting my gob round a nice thick batter that can stand being smothered in vinegar and mushy peas and ketchup and does not disintegrate like tissue paper.

That gorden bluey has a lot to answer for

Any Laaanderars abaaat?

My Dad once took me to The Seashell as a child. He thought it did the best F&C in the United Kingdom.

He was so wrong, bless him.

I just asked my husband about the newspaper print stuff. He said the old ink was a mix of oil and soot, not nice but relatively harmless. They don't know the full effect of injesting the new ink but it can cause cancer. Best stick to plain paper.

Mmm got a craving for a fish supper with everything and extra brown sauce now!

Having lived in Edinburgh for so long I'm always disappointed if I travel south (or anywhere else in Scotland for that matter) and can't get "salt and sauce" on my chips - the sauce is 2 thirds brown sauce and 1 third vinegar. Mmmmmmm

Moan' the Embra!!

Doon wi Weegieland. Nae broon sauce? Nae guid.

YANBU, couldn't agree more OP.

Ugh, brown sauce only good on mince and tatties, otherwise its the bin for it!!
A spicy Haggis supper drenched in salt and vinegar, now your talking!

I'll second the Blue Dolphin. Absolutely lush.

I'm making fish and chips for dinner. I haven't deep fried fish in 30 years, anyone have a great batter recipe for me?

I agree with Blue Dolphin Hastings!

Found a beer batter recipe, so don't need one now, :)

I once stayed in a hotel that included on its menu fish and chips with mushy peas "in a filo pastry basket". I think I win the poncey fish and chips award...

We went to Rick Stein's poncy and expensive chippy in Padstow. DP whinged the whole way through that the food wasn't as good as our local chippy. He was right. You really can't beat a Yorkshire chippy!

And a squirt of Salad Cream is bloody lovely on chips and scraps!! And peas. Peas and salad cream are a revelation, I promise you..

There are some lovely fish and chip shops in Cornwall which is not far from where I live. It's not just the North that do good fish and chips.

Oh I used to love being in St Ives & eating FnCs!

And Harts Ice Cream Parlour (Shows age)

My parents were so disgusted with Mr Stein's chips in Padstow that my dad wrote to the Rickster and got a free fish and chip supper and a signed book as compo. I thought they were fine but I'm a pig easily suited :o

One of the best chippers I know is in Ventnor on the Isle of Wight. Come in a box like a pizza box and are bloody lovely and massive

all about yorkshire , beef dripping and scraps. Mmmm.

I had Rick Stein's Fish & Chips (in beef dripping) on holiday in Padstow last week. They were amazing but the tartare sauce was a bit bland.
:)

Oh God Chips and Cheese. I love it.

I live by the sea and also work in the next town up 1 minute from a chip shop that does a "cheese deal", which is cheesey chips and a drink. I feel so WRONG and DIRTY ordering that. I hide it. But I love it.

Please don't judge me.

Mmm, chippy (chippie?) sauce. I miss Edinburgh :(

I had battered wbite pudding earlier and DD had chips.
I do love a bit of ponce on occasion but not when the chippy is involved.

I love Edinburgh chippy sauce!! Scotland's east coast make the BEST fish and chips though. I have lived in London,Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester to name a few places and nowhere does chips like a wee Coastal town I know!

Wrapped in the usual paper BUT then wrapped in newspaper on the outside...YUM!!!!
