ugh. no offense but one of many reasons why i could never leave america, i absolutely hate fish, any kind of form of it, i nearly throw up even looking at that picture. so no thanks
and ketchup is the fucking bomb, i eat that shit like the kid off of big daddy, hell most of the time ketchup is my meal and hamburger is the condiment.

I screw with my malt vinegar adding a tiny bit of brown sugar, ground pepper, old bay seasoning, season salt, paprika, garlic, cayenne pepper, and a squirt of lemon juice.
Try it! the sweetness of sugar and spices add a slight kick to the tart malt of the vinegar. It's absolutely divine.
It's even more insane if you mix in a wok/pan and sear it into the fish and chips after letting set for a few seconds.

EDIT: You forgot the greatest side for fish'n'chips, PINEAPPLE FRITTERS!
Bah, when it comes to fritters the one true fritter is the PAUA FRITTER (abalone fritters to people who weren't introduced to them in New Zealand).
You know...considering we're a melting pot over here in the US I'd have thought there'd be at least a few places here that serve something like that. I've not seen a single place. It's a bit of a crime, I must say. I think I'd greatly enjoy some fish & chips...especially now seeing how hungry I am.
EDIT: Allow me to fine-tune that statement. There are no places that serve fish & chips like that in my area.

I myself live in the USA, but I love fish and chips. It's the only thing that allows me to satisfy my inner englishman. I think that I am very lucky to have a place that serves this delicious dish near where I live.

(seriously ditch the mushy peas and try some cheese curds)
But yeah never heard of Tomato sauce on fish & chips. Here on the West coast of Canada they're always served with a slice of lemon and a side of tartar sauce, though salt pepper & vinegar is always available. I love tartar sauce personally, but I dip my chips in it rather than put it on the fish.
This thread is a bit late, the F&C van comes on Thursday (day of the almighty Thor). Since today is Sunday I'll be having roast beef as dictated by LAW (and science, tasty laws of science).
I eat fish and chips with tarter sauce and my hands. I'm not using your dang limp-wristed version of a fork.
As an Aussie- I'm damn proud of our great tasting fish and chips, and I laugh at the ludicrous notion of using some piddly infant fork to eat it. Call yourself a man? Then get rid of that oversized toothpick!
Because they re-use the oil when cooking, the classic Fish & Chips actually contains far less saturated fat than many other kinds of fast foods

I feel for you, really. I've seen those Gormet Fish & Chips things in posh restaurants for less than that. The Chippie near us will take a total of £1.80 for really good, freshly made Fish & Chips in beef dripping, and the owner makes all his own Kebabs, on account of being Greek. Cheap, greasy heaven.Hipsy_Gypsy said:
I thought the same for a moment, then i realised it was the canadian anthem.well i only had 3 hours of sleep and am pretty hungover, so i excuse myself.Mr.Petey said:
I absolutely hate the sight of the things. However, this is because I've worked in a (award winning) fish and chip shop for the last two years, so I've just got sick of the things.
However, polystyrene containers are generally used because it's cheaper than cardboard boxes and more convenient to hold food than just paper on its own, especially if it's a takeaway fish and chip shop and not a sit-in affair.
Also, the reason a lot of places apply the sale first instead of the vinegar is because when the chips are piled up in a tray, if the vinegar goes on first all the salt will just stick to the top layer and not go through to the rest underneath, ruining the whole thing.
I now hate myself for discussing work on my first day off in a week...

Now I'm hungry. The pub down my road does perfect fish and chips - the batter is crispy and light, not soy and fat like you can sometimes get and they pour on the perfect amount of salt and vinegar. Best of all is that the fish is the size of a whale. Nom.
Although if I'm just having chips without fish because I'm feeling boring/ poor, I like to have mayonnaise with them, Belgian style.

Fish and chips. Most wonderful food ever, a mere hair's width more than Caesar Salad but still better. Tastes best when eaten close to the sea
