I can't speak for the second picture (why the hell is the burger wrapped in a hanky?!) but the first one looks like either a bunch of McCain oven chips, or the half-arsed efforts you tend to get from the local Chinese.

The steak fries look slighly better but chips made with real potatoes simply piss all over both examples.

Dravs posted:depends on how touristy they are. Generally the larger places attract owners who are more interested in profit than a superior bag of chips. There are still good fish n chips in places like Brighton and Southend, however you really need to know the area to make sure you don't go to one of the dodgy ones.

The best fish n chips i've ever had (and continue to have) can be found at Mister Chips, in Whitby, North Yorkshire. A tad on the pricey side and you can queue for up to an hour during the summer but well, well worth it.

stuxracer posted:Cod. Yes, perch is something we eat in the upper midwest of the US. It is a common fish in the Great Lakes. It is quite delicious, especially when it is dipped in batter, fried and served with good American fries; they taste like freedom. Of course, the best lake perch is to be found in the cool and pristine waters of Lake Huron, not the tepid bath water of Lake Michigan.

It needs a pickled onion the size of a baby's fist, not arty farty coleslaw. Also can u ask a question about tilapia. What on earth is it? Always saw it everywhere on the menu when I was in Florida. It has no taste at all.

Tartar sauce is the traditional sauce in my family; although I expect salt and vinegar would be excellent as well. And, freedom tastes best with ketchup. I have no idea what tilapia is. However, wikipedia says they are cichlids. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilapia

davestones posted:What do you have as a condiment? It needs a pickled onion the size of a baby's fist, not arty farty coleslaw. It's a gross fast-growing freshwater fish that's farmed in enormous quantities and so is incredibly cheap. It's not even particularly good for you unlike other fish because of how it's farmed and fed.

Tilapia is however quite a bit better for the environment because it's a vegetarian fish so it doesn't have the crazy footprint of other species that need an entire tier of feeding fish above them.

Getting fish and chips tomorrow, and telling the fish frier that his food will be posted on the net, on this thread. It's always cooked fresh, but maybe he'll make a special effort for me!

Anyone who eats anything other than haddock in their fish and chips is a wrong 'un. The dirty Lancastrian hot pot pigs can keep their cod and I don't even know what southern ponces eat nowadays. Portion of decent haddock and big, fat chips, cooked in lard or dripping, couple of scallops, scraps, curry sauce and a teacake for me. Anyone comes at me while I've got that wrapped up in a newspaper better have something pointier than a bloody screwdriver.

Here in Ottawa Canada we used to have a pretty decent place called the chippy. It went to poo poo though. Now the pieces are tiny, super greasy, and half the time the batter is undercooked and mushy. I'd kill for good fish and chips

I'm gonna be down in hastings tomorrow, could anyone recommend the best place there? I've been in Texas a month and had fish and chips in this godawful place called Cheesecake factory, I regretted everything about that experience. Need proper fish & chips to help the memories of that place subside.

Bash Ironfist posted:Sorry guys, but chicken and waffles is superior to me. To be fair I can't stand the taste of fish. Here in Los Angeles, we have the delight known as Roscoe's Chicken And Waffles. Get yourself a chicken and waffle plate, a side of mac and cheese, and cornbread. Or a smothered biscuit. I'd take that poo poo any day of the week over fish and chips. I'd stab you with a screwdriver if you tried to make me eat that filth. That's what I'd call serendipity.
