How well does your country do Fish and Chips?

Is it appreciated?

[Anonymous No.8431036]

>>8431026
The U.S. does it many ways. Here on the Gulf Coast it is typically tempura fried Cod or other white fish like Tilapia or whatever, maybe a beer batter.

Fries/chips are a different matter and usually the difference between good and bad...frozen bagged shit is used often but some places actually julianne potatoes, blanch and fry them.

I assume it's the same in the UK and around the world, some places get it and some don't. But Americans love Fish and Chips, especially New England. Any other questions?

East coast of Canada. Best fish and chips here (though im sure Maine is similar). Everyone uses freshly caught haddock here, from the boat or at most 1 day old. The fries aren't always great though...not sure why, places here put zero effort into fries.

Newfie here, fresh cod is by far the best fish for fish and chips.

Too bad for the most part this entire province is taste-deaf, considering the only traditional food people still eat is "throw whatever doesn't need to be left in a refrigerator and salt beef in a pot" or just salt fish and hard tack, however real high quality cod with scrunchions (little bits of pork fat fried in the skillet with the cod) along with good fries is amazing.

Cod is terrible. I would only eat it if i wás starving. The idea of newfie or cape breton food is pretty revolting to me...but i guess if someone grew up on it, i can see how they might be used to it. I do agree with one thing...the taste deafness that is in the maritimes in general. I swear people in NS are a step away from thinking potatoes are too spicy

[Anonymous No.8431144]

Here in Chile it's a very common dish, especially in restaurants near the sea. It's not really considered fast food though, just a regular meal. Most people have baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, potato salad or rice instead of the fries, which is considered rather childish. It is also usually served with a tomato and onion salad.
Most common fish choices are reineta (Google says "pippin" but there aren't any fish results for that), hake and conger.

[Anonymous No.8431166]

>>8431131
Newfoundland is also the most overweight province.

Some of the higher end restaurants here in St. John's do some crazy stuff with what is actually good from traditional food. Newfoundland cooking has a large variety long lasting vegetables, like potatoes, turnip, and onions, as well as a ton of cabbage because it's fucking cabbage, and besides that, a shitload of berries. Berries are huge here, especially blueberries and partridgeberries, and a wildberry that grows in the bogs here that we call "bakeapples" since I have no idea what other names it has. Outside of fresh seafood, the only other meats we could really keep where things that lasted, so salted beef and fish are huge, and there is a lot of sausage as well, along with hardbread since it lasts so long. It's really just a big mess of comfort food ingredients mashed together, and probably the best traditional food in North America, outside of maybe in Quebec.

Australian here. Most fish and chips you get here is fucking flake (shark) and elephant fish. You need to go to a proper fishmonger which sometimes has fish restaurants nearby just to get a decent bit of snapper. The only place that does chips right is gastropubs, everywhere else is that same tasting either too crispy and breaks into littled shards of crystalizes greased potato or the other sort which is soggy and cooked in oil which hasn't been changed for months and mixed with different fried foods.

How much do you pay for walleye? Its mostly a line-caught sport fish, not something that is netted in huge quantities. The only stores Ive seen who have walleye want $20+ per pound.

Vancouverfag here. Favourite place for fish and chips?

[Anonymous No.8441250]

Unrelated but does that burger joint on Granville Island still make good burgers?

I had one there like 9 years ago and it was fucking amazing.

[Anonymous No.8442253]

Oz: very good. Softer batter, but huge selection of fish. My local run by a greek chap had like at least 8 different types of fish.

UK: very crispy batter. Not better, not worse, just different. My local nowadays is very good, but offers only cod or haddock.

Spain: not fish n chips in the classic sense, but boquerones fritos or battered fried sardined are god tier.

>How well does your country do Fish and Chips?
I'm English and live on the south coast about a stones throw from the water.

I've never had good fish and chips.
Its fucking shit 99% of the time because the people making it don't give a fuck.
Its mass produced fast food designed to turn a profit, not gourmet dining.

They are served with salad instead of chips though.

Malaysia here, usually it's alright but overpriced, nice treat once in a while.
Worst experience was eating at this place called F.O.B (Friends of Burger). You get a burger, pasta or whatever main meal, and you can add on for a drink and fries. Didn't opt for the add on and the fish came without chips. Complained to the cashier and his excuse was that the '''''''chips''''''' were in the batter coating the fish.
On a lighter note I've been to the UK and the fish and chips there are spot on. Goes well with mushy peas.

West coast here - We typically have frozen Cod offered. Some places do fresh halibut and it's GOAT. Looked into mushy peas and want to try.

>How
Buy some nice thick fillets of your favourite frying fish.
Make a batter for the fish.
Dip it in and get a thin coat, let excess run off.
Fry.

Because it's delicious, ya big poof

I had a $5 fish-n-chips once and the batter was so dense, I'm pretty sure its volume was bigger than the damn fish itself. I felt more full eating the batter than the fish

Pie 'n' mash is really only an east end and south London thing. It's dying out now because we've got so many other fast food options now. (Kebabs, McShit etc.)

Also there's a few yuppie places that have sprung up, offering Pie 'n' Mash that comes with gravy, chicken (and other things) pies etc and no liquor (the green parsley sauce). They're quite nice but not the same thing.

Used to live not far from this place - voted best chippie in the UK last year. Seriously good, although with a rating like that, you set expectations sky high. To be honest, I usually prefer fish and chips at a decent pub over those from a chippie.
