Easily one of the best fish and chips I've ever had. Super crunchy, and such a generous portion, too.

Does this look like a fried monkey wrench to anyone else?

[–] TheGiantKorean 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can kinda see that. Def didn't taste like one, lol.

[–] Bluefruit 3 points 1 year ago

Looks like fried gun or a giant prawn

[–] SuperApples 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Best giant prawns (langoustines) I've had were on the Isle of Skye (at the Oyster Shed)! They weren't battered, though.

I always see posts of fish and chips, and I never remember to ask:

What do you eat it with?

I prefer some hot sauce (fish) and some malt (chips)

[–] cashews_best_nut 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Personally (Northern Brit) I have: curry sauce or gravy. Mushy peas as a side. Batter/Fish bits.

Always have salt and plenty of vinegar though. That's a given.

All washed down with a can of Dandelion & Burdock.

Fucking lovely. I'm hungry now and want fish and chips. 🤤

[–] EnderMB 3 points 1 year ago

The only right choice here, although as a filthy southerner, I haven't seen dandelion and burdock for years!

[–] SuperApples 8 points 1 year ago

In Australia at least we usually use tartar sauce for the fish (shark) and 'chicken salt' with maybe some vinegar or soy sauce for the chips.

[–] TheGiantKorean 7 points 1 year ago

I am a big fan of tartar sauce, and ketchup for chips (or mayo).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Curry sauce for battered sausage, mayonnaise for fish and onion vinegar with loads of salt for the chips. Easily one of the things I've missed most since moving to the continent.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Curry sauce and maybe some mayo.

[–] AngryCommieKender 2 points 1 year ago

Murican here. I use malt vinegar on both

[–] ShitOnABrick 1 points 1 year ago

Normally curry or gravy sauce mushy peas tartar sauce

Also chips and or a spam or pea fritter

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No-one has said ketchup, which is clearly the condiment of choice (with tartar sauce a close-ish second)

West coast - reid saas, east coast - broon saas

If that's a generous portion of chips, I'm assuming you ordered the small and they ended up giving you a bit extra.

I'm just going off what I'd normally consider a portion size for chippy chips, the fish looks great! :-D

[–] TheGiantKorean 1 points 1 year ago

It was a pretty good sized portion of chips TBH. I think it looks smaller since they were pulled up and the gigantic piece of fish is sitting on top of them.

I live in one of the most economically depressed and crime-ridden areas of the U.S.

The Isle of Skye sounds pretty nice.

[–] TheGiantKorean 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry to hear 😔

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I've heard that it's the limit

[–] TheLonelyWonderer 6 points 1 year ago

Just from looking at the texture of the batter in the pic and I have a feeling that this should be really good.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Thank you, I know what I'm tracking down for dinner now.

[–] KingGordon 4 points 1 year ago

That looks so scrumpy!

[–] Jaderick 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] TheGiantKorean 7 points 1 year ago

Yes! Dolse & Brose.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That’s honkin’! Crust looks great.

[–] FReddit 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] TheGiantKorean 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I need to figure out how they made this so crispy. I know it has to do with proper fry temp, but this was like shatteringly crisp.

[–] AngryCommieKender 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just guessing here, but I wouldn't be surprised if they double or triple fried it. That gives nice thick and crunchy breading. Also those wonderful commercial deep fryers are much easier to keep at temperature, most of the restaurants I've worked in has them set to 375°F

You've been?

[–] FReddit 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly, the worst thing about it is that I have to go to another county to get sushi.

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and you could get everything there. Now it's KFC or a tuna sandwich. God damn it!
