Is there a way to get the authentic fish and chips experience without traveling to the British Isles?

[Anonymous No.17478623]

Got a deep fryer?
Dip fish in batter and deep fry. Deep fry chips and season with salt. Have a little bowl of malt vinegar and a little bowl of tartare on the side.

Or if you want to waste time and energy, come to New England and buy some from one of the many good seafood joints in the region.

Some years back, I ordered fish and chips at a restaurant in Philadelphia. When it came out, there was fish, sure, but fucking crisps/chips instead of chips/fries. It wasn't a bad meal, mind you, but with everyone having all the world's knowledge in their pocket all day, what sort of lazy cunt couldn't have looked up a picture of fish and chips before choosing to offer it to customers?

most fish and chip shops are really nothing to write home about
it is just battered fish (typically haddock or cod) ontop of thick cut chips with optional bits, lemon, malt vinegar, tartar sauce and mushy peas

You need to undercook the chips, then leave them to sweat in a glass display case above the fryer until any hint of crispness has been steamed out of existence. The fish batter should be damp and swollen on the bottom, like the sole of your foot after falling asleep in the tub, and the saveloy should have an inedibly thick knot at one end. Don't forget to drench the lot in nbc.

Nobody I know has a "bowl of malt vinegar" on the side to dip their chips in, we ALWAYS put it on top, to the point where if you ASK for salt and vinegar they will put it directly on top themselves without asking how you want it. Also the majority of chip shops don't use "malt vinegar", they use "non-brewed condiment", which is basically like a vinegar substitute.

Its all about the batter and how hot you get the oil. Get the oil hot enough and the batter right and the fish is steam cooked.

Too bad it's not cocaine because i'd definitely go there more often. I love their fish especially when it's drenched in malt vinegar but I don't really like any of the sides, especially hush puppies which everyone else seems to love but not me. Also the last time I went to my local Long John's their soda fountain was inoperable and apparently it had been that way for weeks.
