Easily one of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Super crunchy, and such a generous portion, too.

    Does this look like a fried monkey wrench to anyone else?

      Best giant prawns (langoustines) I’ve had were on the Isle of Skye (at the Oyster Shed)! They weren’t battered, though.

    I always see posts of fish and chips, and I never remember to ask:

    What do you eat it with?

    I prefer some hot sauce (fish) and some malt (chips)

      Personally (Northern Brit) I have: curry sauce or gravy. Mushy peas as a side. Batter/Fish bits.

      Always have salt and plenty of vinegar though. That’s a given.

      All washed down with a can of Dandelion & Burdock.

      Fucking lovely. I’m hungry now and want fish and chips. 🤤

        The only right choice here, although as a filthy southerner, I haven’t seen dandelion and burdock for years!

      In Australia at least we usually use tartar sauce for the fish (shark) and ‘chicken salt’ with maybe some vinegar or soy sauce for the chips.

      I am a big fan of tartar sauce, and ketchup for chips (or mayo).

      Curry sauce for battered sausage, mayonnaise for fish and onion vinegar with loads of salt for the chips. Easily one of the things I’ve missed most since moving to the continent.

      No-one has said ketchup, which is clearly the condiment of choice (with tartar sauce a close-ish second)

    If that’s a generous portion of chips, I’m assuming you ordered the small and they ended up giving you a bit extra.

    I’m just going off what I’d normally consider a portion size for chippy chips, the fish looks great! :-D

      It was a pretty good sized portion of chips TBH. I think it looks smaller since they were pulled up and the gigantic piece of fish is sitting on top of them.

    Just from looking at the texture of the batter in the pic and I have a feeling that this should be really good.

        I live in one of the most economically depressed and crime-ridden areas of the U.S.

        The Isle of Skye sounds pretty nice.

      I need to figure out how they made this so crispy. I know it has to do with proper fry temp, but this was like shatteringly crisp.

        Just guessing here, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they double or triple fried it. That gives nice thick and crunchy breading. Also those wonderful commercial deep fryers are much easier to keep at temperature, most of the restaurants I’ve worked in has them set to 375°F

    Honestly, the worst thing about it is that I have to go to another county to get sushi.

    I grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and you could get everything there. Now it’s KFC or a tuna sandwich. God damn it!
