I'm going to London this weekend. Any place to go and have some good Fish&Chips? I'm ok with going to another town close to London.

The Old Star just across St. James' Park tube station has top notch fish and chips.

[Anonymous No.13203166]

Yes, as based as it gets. Few streets back from the beach esplanade is my favourite shop. Family run, they remember my order most of the time, 1 scoop of chips, extra crispy, ‘chup and aioli on the side. $4.50

With mushy peas.
And tartare sauce for the fish.

>fish is disgusting.
I hate fish and seafood. For most of my life the only fish i could stand was canned tuna and even then it was drowned out by mayo i guess. But lately I've been trying to get over it by eating Filet o' Fish's. Whenever i go to McDonald's instead of getting five McChickens I get four McChickens and a Filet o' Fish. When i first started i could barely eat half of it and i had to alternate taking a small bite of fish and a large bite of McChicken. It was hard and took a lot of effort, there was even one time where i threw up out my window into the parking lot, but I'm now at a point where i can eat a whole Filet o' Fish on it's own. I still can't stand any other kind of fish but i will persevere until i can eat five Filet o' Fish's.

Retarded question. You are a bad person, and you should feel bad.
A lot of fish and chips is bad. Like you.
Some of it is quality ingredients, and cooked correctly. Then its good.
You are retarded.

Quick question for real bongs. Would I be out of line in asking for a side of brown gravy to dip the fries in?

[Anonymous No.13203237]

>>13203229
dip? no. you pour the gravy on like so.

[Anonymous No.13203248]

>>13203237
Fuck that. I want to control the gravy saturation and I hate soggy fries

[Anonymous No.13203266]

controlling the gravy situation is a myth. true freedom is letting the gravy control the meal.

Get cheesy chips if you're getting gravy. Best meal in the world.

[Anonymous No.13203288]

>>13203285
>cheesy chips
you fool.
the gravy is poured upon the chips.
the cheese is grated onto the gravy.
there is no salt.

[Anonymous No.13203293]

>>13203288
Never done it like that before. May do it this evening when I wake up, get a portion of chips with a big pot of gravy and use some of my cheese at home (being a night toiler and unironically considering this for brekkie is dire).

In my experience and from what people some of the best are:
Gigs in Fitzrovia
Masters Superfish by Waterloo
Kennedy's in Tootin or Barbican
Fryer's Delight in Holborn

Most places who sell it will be alright desu, Poppies is a popular touristy one and the prices are higher a a result

They're not fries though, chips don't get a soggy because they're thicker.

Anyone got any tartar sauce recipes? Gonna try making some tomorrow night since I've never done it before. Basic recipe seems to be just some relish, mayo, lemon juice and pickles. I've recently made a bunch of home made relish that I'd love to use, though I accidentally made it a bit hot, not sure fi that would ruin it.

[Anonymous No.13206999]

>>13206987
mayo + chopped capers and/or pickles, lemon juice & dill if you like it.

[Anonymous No.13207043]

>>13203044
incredibly based, every time I go to a restaurant with fish and chips on the menu I have to resist getting it in favor of something a bit different

[Anonymous No.13207736]

>>13203044
Yes.

[Anonymous No.13207766]

>>13203044
In general absolutely not
Still at times fried fish is abnormally spectacular which allows for the deep fried chips to make something special of themselves although nearly every time it fails so no, not at all

what's garbage about a fresh bit of fish of haddock or cod in batter?

If it were industrialised reconstituted 'fish product' fried in HFCS fortified corn slurry we'd be on American levels

[Anonymous No.13208354]

>>13203044
I find it kind of greasy not one of my favs desu

[Anonymous No.13208560]

>>13208354
It shouldn't be greasy though. Probably fried at a low temperature or the batter was the wrong consistency.

Fish and chips are great when done properly (which is surprisingly rare even in the UK). There aren't any decent chip shops near us. One guy consistently uses old oil, another less than fresh fish.. you get the idea. You actually have to do your research to avoid being scammed.

Yes, and lets not forget to thank the based Jews who taught the Brits (who lived for thousands of years on an island surround by an ocean full of fish…) how to fry fish.
