Aren't real Fish 'n' Chips just so FANTASTIC ...?

Question

Aren't real Fish 'n' Chips just so FANTASTIC? I mean Fish 'n' Chips from a real British chippery (chippy), fresh succulent cod, crispy chips made from real British potatoes, all fried in lard, all drizzled with malt vinegar and salted. (And definitely not to be confused with American-style "fries".)

Mmmm ...

Answer 1

Just had authentic English fish n chips for the first time a couple days ago, and I agree!!

mmm......I want more!

Answer 2

I agree. the best Fish n Chips I ever had was in Whitby, Yorkshire, freshly cooked, I could hardly eat it all, the seagulls that followed me down the road knew what they were doing!

Answer 3

I have never had them in Britain, though I have had them in Cape Cod.  I have never seen anyone serve them with french fries though....well with exception to Captain D's.

Answer 4

No way, give me  good ol' fashioned American food . . . . French fries, Shredded BEEF burrito, Tortilla chips and HOT, HOT SALSA.

Answer 5

you betcha

I remember getting these back when they still wrapped them in newspaper

you'd get your dinner and something to read

Answer 6

Wonderful hot.  Not so great if you linger over them and they get cold.

Answer 7

Not if it's yesterday's news wrapped up in yesterday's news.

Answer 8

I have never had authentic British fish 'n chips. I can talk about an Italian beef sandwich with mozzerella cheese and sweet peppers or a Maxwell Street Polish, some fries, and a milkshake. That is good. Some Lou's or Gino's pepperoni dish dish is great.

Answer 9

(Mouth watering) Mmmmm....

You evil person!!! Now i really want fish 'n' chips!

Answer 10

Why is this in the women's gender studies section lol

Answer 11

I had some last year in Blackpool, for the first time in ages. Then another helping the next day in Manchester. Chips have never been the same since they started putting them in trays. I like them in paper.

Answer 12

Yes.But you forgot the bread & butter.Wouldn't be the same

without that.

Answer 13

Hey try coming to Ireland and get a nice big bag of greasy fish 'n' chips! Cod straight from the coast of Donegal and real Irish potatoes... Nothing beats our fish 'n' chips    :P

Answer 14

Erm, I guess so. I prefer a PB&J sandwich instead.

Answer 15

ABSOLUTELY THEY ARE!!! I had them in London when I went last year.  FANTASTIC to say the least...

Good taste!

Answer 16

It's about the only thing I miss since I left England in 2002.

I haven't been back since I left, but the thought of Cod n' chips does make me wonder if I should...

Answer 17

yeh but after i think.. i wish i hadnt of ate those!

Answer 18

Dman right fish and chips are awsome couldnt live without em just like the full english breakfast xD

Answer 19

Because I live in the UK and I have it occasionally, Ive begun to hate it. It just tastes bad now and I find it greasy.

Answer 20

Ohhh Yess!

Get down to Bristol. There is a little chippy at the bottom of the Christmas Steps that do the best fish and chips in the world.

They have been there since the twenties and have served chips to celebs that have appeared at the near by Hippodrome and Coulston Hall, from Laurel and Hardy to the Beatles, and have the photo's to prove it!

Answer 21

Its prettty good, i live in the USA though so i have only had it here, i wouldnt know if it is any better in the UK or not.

Answer 22

Best meal in the world. I like mine with a few slices of good bread so I can make sandwiches with the fish. MMMMM. I now live in an area where there are no good chippies. I come from Leeds and was spoiled rotten for choice of where to go.

Answer 23

lol sorry.the closest ive ever gotten is Long John Silvers..

but i do like malt vinegar on my fish and " chips"

its very yummy.

Answer 24

I'm with you on that one - though I note that some of our American friends say they haven't been here to try it. This makes me wonder about your "not to be confused with 'french fries'" comment - have you been to America and tried real American french fries?

Apparently, the McDonalds in the states is totally alien to the poxy little burgers and fries we get here...

Answer 25

yeah defo agree here true brit style

Answer 26

Yes they are.

Answer 27

Yes, absolutely, one of my favourite things.  But what, if anything, does this have to do with Gender and Women's Studies?  Don't tell me feminists are boycotting fish and chip shops for some reason?

Answer 28

MMMMM,  I want some.

Answer 29

I could murder one now mate.

Answer 30

I haven't had real fish and chips in years. Now I just have tuna salad and potato chips from a bag.

Answer 31

Never had "real" fish and chips, but would love to. I would cross the pond for that.
