An expensive luxury for the rich, but my God did it tate great.

>An expensive luxury for the rich
U wot m8? It's some fish and taters. The whole reason it became so widespread was its affordability. It's only an expensive luxury in the poncey gastro bistro places run by homosexuals.

>>18675425
Just outed yourself as a non Brit.
Chip shops are expensive now, price of electric and gas & food prices have pushed up their sale prices.
Still have a chippy tea but its now more of a treat than a once a week thing

>>18675417
they mostly taste like oil so I don't mind dipping them in tartar, since I love tartar.

>>18675425
Last year it was 8 quid for a fish. I forget if single or supper and it's immaterial, I can't spend that amount on a meal. Some people are poorer than you mate. >>18675425
How much are they now? I've not had one in an aeon.

Largely devoid of nutritional value, no fiber, tons of salt, tons of carbs. Like the Irish potatoe famine or the Spanish corn famine in a single meal

>>18675417
Foreign rubbish, real Anglos eat eels & turnips.

Fish and chips, fish and chips
Make me want to lick my lips
Eat them for breakfast, lunch, and tea
Fish and chips are for me

Kids menu item.

let me improve it

>>18675417
Love it when its done right, not by some greasy paki bastards. They dont mean to fuck up they just do and cant help it.

>>18675667
That's more horrible than NYC public school lunch looking stuff

>>18675667
Cheesus Christ what were they thinking?

I see fish
I see chips

Simple as

>>18675417
I like kibbeling made from codfish with a good ravigot sauce. I will burn down you're stall if you use pollak, coalfish or any other bastard bottem feeder. I honestly don't know what the fuck happend in britain... but the quality is so fucking poor. Wtf happend?

>>18675630
extremely low T post

>>18675703
demand, scarcity from overfishing

>>18675703
Nigga ever heard of overfishing?

>>18675887
>>18675867
No problem getting it around here. The ones selling "alternatives" are just cheap bastards

>Large battered cod
>Large chips
>salt and vinegar on chips
>large gherkin
>couple of pickled onions
>tartare sauce

proppa nosh

Love the fish. I never eat the chips. I like both vinegar and tartar sauce

>>18675656
Now this is based.
Do you know anything about a one eyed, one horned flying purple people eater?

>>18675417
does fish sticks and tater tots still count as fish and chips? i love this, but not actual fish and chips

>>18675981
Fish is usually a fillet or at least a portion of a fillet.
Chips are usually just ""chipped"" potatoes.
So yes. It's to fish and chips what a tranny is to a woman.

>>18675987
well, i also love trannies, so this makes sense

>>18675417
It's pretty good. I like the malt vinegar. Sometimes a squeeze of lemon. Depends on my mood.

>>18675417
I see fish and french fries. post the right image next time anon.

>>18675425
where i live they're also expensive
even in atlantic canada, it's not a cheap meal
except the shacks near fishing villages

>>18675545
>Just outed yourself as a non Brit
shit i'm so embarrassed

>>18675417
Comfiest food ever. I just ate some last night.

>>18675545
It's still pretty cheap here in Australia

>>18675668
Here in Australia most places are run by Chinese, they suck at it too, Greeks always did it the best, plus you could get souvlakis too, that a few dim sims some calamari rings and chips all covered in chicken salt, fucking lovely

>>18675417
I love it but it's hard to get it right, or made to the true standard.
(I know thick chips are necessary but I didn't have any and couldn't be arsed making them from scratch).

Its a Friday Wisconsin staple, but our fish comes from fish farms so its not as good as I've had in England.

>>18675668
>paki chip shop
Wait, what? It's all Italians in the north

>>18675545
Fuck, I went to my Granddads house to get him dinner, and he wanted fish and chips. His order, a large cod and chips was nearly £20. He thought I was ripping him off until I showed him the receipt
I just went for a pie because I'm among southerners who don't know what a pudding is.

>>18676659
Even chinkies do fish and chips to try and get the extra income. Almost all takeaways will have some form of it.

>>18675417
order them at restaurants a lot because it's too hard to cook at home without a proper deep fryer. needs to be crispy though, like >>18675971 otherwise it reminds me of those frozen fish fingers.

>>18675417
Those are Freedom Fries

>>18676667
Steak pie from a chippie is magic with salt and vinegar tbf
>>18676671
Not in my village, but I can see the logic there

>>18676682
I've never ordered one before and never would. But they half in their "European" section an omelette and fish and chips usually. Probably just before the banana fritters.
I have never once in my life trusted a chinky to cook my fish and chips though. I only go to shops where the owners know my and me dad is friends with them for extra benefits.

>>18676682
Yeah, I don't get gravy down here because they just make up some bovril in a styrofoam cup rather than however they do it up norf
Steak and kidney pies are based, though down here they've been chewy a couple of times, I assume because they've been sat there an hour or more because they're not as popular

>>18675417
I prefer the American variation

>>18676701
What kind of fish is that? I've heard catfish is great when fried the same way.

>>18676690
Aye, they all do omelettes here, but no fish.

potato salad > fries
a nice creamy counterbalance to the crunchy fried fish
and a little salad too

>>18676602

I agree desu, it needs to be a certain batter to fish ratio, but my local place does it right with some local fish and it's just great

Cockney Kings in Burnaby and New Westminster, Canada is the GOAT.

Travelled all over Bongland and nothing was quite as good.

Only thing England does that they don't is curry sauce.
