Fish 'n chips
 

Are they really as tasty as they say?

They can be, I've had some good fissh-n-chips in the states but the ones I had in the UK were tasteless. I actually prefer catfish and hush puppies to the fish-n-chips cod.

yes nuff said!

I've had fish 'n chips in the U.S. and the U.K. and the U.K. has the better taste-test results for sure. Plus, in the U.K. you always get them with mushy peas, whereas in the U.S. never (or at least not that I've seen). And, you get vinegar with your chips in the U.K. whereas only occasionally in the U.S.

Going back to the U.K. in a couple of weeks; should be a good time!

Absolutely! (if you know the right place!) Squires Fish & Chips - in the village where I grew up (Braunton, North Devon, U.K.), now back to the other important question on everyone's lips:
"Is it true what they say about Dixie?" ;)

Used to do a 100 miler and the only place to eat was around the 50 mile mark and it was at a fish and chip shop. The organisers even allowed time out of 1 hour if you had Lunch there.

But Fish and chips at a Local shop. Look for the one that has a queue outside if there are more than two and Never go to one of the Chain shops like "Harry Ramsden".Only been in one and they served Fish and chips--No choice of fish--It was Fish and chips. I asked the question "What Fish"? only to be told it was Pollock or Whiting. I won't even give that to the cat.

Cod- Skate or Plaice are my choice and in that order. Or if not feeling fishy then a saveloy or Cod Roe.

Fish and chips is variable. In and around our local area (by the coast), we have four year-round fish and chip shops (some are summer season only, and not worth bothering with). I've had good in all of them, and bad in all of them. Out of season, they cook the fish to order, which makes a difference, IMO

Good Food....We ride 25 miles for some.

London to Brighton with fish and chip supper as a reward. Yum

Yes

Had what is considered 'the best in the country' here in NI (part of the UK) yesterday. Greasy food like that isn't really my thing but it was a beach day and I needed the calories. Quite nice but couldn't imagine it very often.

I always laugh when I see (usually Americans) ridiculing our food in the UK, on YouTube videos or in popular culture... because they're right! It doesn't take a good picture to say the least. But it's hearty and gets the job done' (insert old 50s drawing / ad of a housewife figure holding up her elbow in might)
