Who here likes fish 'n chips?

[libnnc]

I can't pass it up. It's like beer-battered heroin to me.

Foothills Brewery here in W-S, NC fries theirs in one of their many house brews.

all these damn food threads... x(

[amitten]

1. Now WHY did you have to go and bring that up?!?!

Now I'll crave some like wild until I finally get some!

[libnnc]

3. I blame it on Redstone...

He had to start the burger wars...

[gemdem]

2. Pass the salt and malt vinegar

And I'll take a pint of Guiness while you're at it. Yum!

[libnnc]

[fizzgig]

:drool:

[Little Wing]

10. I do. Pretty much the only form of fish I eat

[Ghost in the Machine]

11. Waaaaay back before Captain D's & Long John Silvers....

and I think even before Red Lobster, we had "Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips" restaurants. Am I the only one who remembers them? Anyone know of one still being open somewhere?

[SeattleGirl]

12. I remember them. Don't know if they are still around though. n/t

[hippywife]

20. There was one left that I knew of

and that was in Columbus, OH. Grandview Hts., to be specific. One guy bought it and serves other types of fish dishes, too, but keeps the original AT fish and chips. My gran and I used to go there often for lunch on Saturdays.

I moved away from there almost ten years ago so I don't know if it's still there now. I'd have to check with my family back there.

[gemdem]

13. I remember Arthur Treacher

The man and the shoppes. So far as I know the shoppes are all long gone, much like Mr. Treacher himself. :-(

[SPKrazy]

14. I remember them too

but i haven't seen one in a long time

[Tyrone Slothrop]

28. There's one in Manhattan a few blocks from my office

[ForrestGump]

15. Grew up on it

Like the English-style meat pies, it's better Down Under than in the UK, in general.

[enigmatic]

16. I love Fish And Chips

w/ Malt Vinegar on the chips; oh yeah...

[sarge43]

17. And they need to be wrapped in newspaper,

hosed down with malt vinegar and salt.

[BOSSHOG]

24. Montrose, Scotland 1967

Fish and Chips, bought from a vendor on the corner. Wrapped in newspaper and soaked with vinegar. The paper was sopping. The meal, delicious. Incredible culinary delight.

[sarge43]

27. F&C shop outside of the South Ruislip tube station

Always picked up supper after work. Vinegar soaked F&C, bottle of beer, latest Penguin paperback or Marty Feldman on the telly. Good times.

[emmajane67]

18. Yum.

Gotta be beer batter and somewhere where the fish was caught that day!

These days I'm more likely to rock a spring roll and chips or the like but have many childhood memories of fish and chips at the beach out of the newspaper.

Mmmmmmm

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

19. Only Brit style with vinegar!

I hate how they go and put tarter sauce on everything over here . . .

[crim son]

22. Me me me me me me me me!!!!

With vinegar of course! In New Zealand we had it every Friday from the fish man. It was wrapped in newspaper and came home in a white paper bag. That sounds fantastic right now.

[Nye Bevan]

23. Me, and here's where to get them in Brooklyn...

http://www.chipshopnyc.com/

Real chips, not "French Fries", and they even give you single serving containers of malt vinegar.

[seemunkee]

25. Who ever designed that website needs to be shot

Reminds of the one that Homer Simpson made.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

29. Ugh...I don't like Chip Shop

I've been there twice and both times my fish was burnt and gross.

There's a new Australian place by me (W-Burg) called Wombat though that has fish n' chips; I'm thinking about checking it out this weekend.

[Skittles]

26. DON'T GET ME STARTED

as a child in England I would eat them sometimes three times a day....I remember my grandma telling me YOU CAN'T LIVE ON BLOODY FISH AND CHIPS...but honestly, I could have....to this day if I'm in a restaurant and fish 'n chips is on the menu, that's what I get, although nothing beats the rain-soaked newspaper full of chips, doused in malt vinegar, I ate all those decades ago :)

I took this pic on my last trip to England, in Great Yarmouth on the east coast:

[LostinVA]

30. I LOVE some good cod fish and chips -- soaked in malt vinegar

[montanto]

31. Yes, but once you've had them in Ireland

with a nice pint of brewery fresh Guinness, you're pretty much screwn when you get back home!!

[noonwitch]

32. My favorite place for it went out of business

Brown's Fish and Chips in Dearborn. It used to be on Greenfield, between Ford and Michigan. My uncle worked there, too.

Long John Silver's is okay, but not the best. When I was a kid, there was a chain called H Salt, or something like that, and it was good.

[ChoralScholar]

33. There's a pub in Branson

called "Waxy O'Shea's" that has awesome fish and chips.

[T_i_B]

34. Of course!

Mind you, I am English! :rofl:

The best fish & chips I've ever had has been from the Fish Shop in Wivenhoe, Essex.

[SPKrazy]

35. If They Are Good!

I lurve 'em

no Long John Silver's though thank you very much!


:shrug: :hi:

[JackBeck]

36. I love, love, LOVE fish and chips.

When I lived in Brooklyn, I worked across the street from "The Chip Shop". I must of put on 15 pounds from eating there at least once a week.

[jakefrep]

37. I do...

The best I ever had were at a little diner (the name of which escapes me at the moment) in Hamilton, Ontario on the shore of Lake Ontario.
