Didnt expect so many responses lol. Oh well eating i'll try them all out this summer
Ok here's what you can do. Try out all the fish and chips places, and give each a rating on a scale of 1 to 10. Things to consider are as follows:
1. Whether the place uses fresh, cold PROPER tartar sauce with dill and lemon (not just mayo).
2. Cut of fries and type/quality of oil - should ideally be fried in a quality oil that compliments the fish and chips and does not add it's own "taste." Furthermore, should not leave a significant after taste.
3. Batter - should ideally neither dominate the fish or be dominated by the fish. Another thing to consider is the temperature of the oil. This will determine the thickness of the layer of uncooked batter between the cooked batter and fish. Too much and the fish tastes "watery" or "battery". Too little and the fish tastes dry like you cooked whatever remaining life the fish had out of it.
4. Atmosphere - does it enhance or take away from the fish and chips experience?
5. Service - take out with a smile or eat in with a spin?
Once you've determined the best ones, please let us know the best ones (IYHO) in each city. At that point, you will receive:
1. An honoray B.Fc degree from Jodie.
2. If you want, a place atop my fish and chips restaurant selection committee.
Thanks in advance for TOFTT.
