FISH & CHIPS

Sorry, but you will never find REAL fish and chips here in the US. They try, but never quite make it. First the piece of fish must be as large as your forearm (not the measly tiny square Pete's F&C all batter and no fish size). Real F&C has to be very lightly coated, and then quickly deep fried. It must be accompanied by an enormous supply of chips (more commonly known as steak fries) They are usually fried in the exact same oil, giving them a slightly "fishy" taste. No draining allowed. Both delicacies go straight from the oil into last but not least.... NEWSPAPER wrapping. Yes-actual PRINTED newspaper. You can kill 2 birds with one stone and read the paper as you eat your meal.

HOW TO EAT FISH AND CHIPS
1. Before you leave the F&C shop, drench your goodies with malt vinegar (only available in the UK) and sprinkle with sea salt. (As you travel to your destination, the vinegar and salt will soak into Neptune's delight)
2. When you arrive home, DO NOT sit up to the table. Please, anywhere but there!!
3. Slowly open the newspaper as the aroma makes your stomach growl.
4. No utensils allowed. No ketchup, no tartar sauce, no cocktail sauce...... (Here Sandy and I are showing the only utensils you can use )
5. Indulge to your hearts delight.
Suffice it to say, you will never be able to have this wonderful experience in the US.
Only in the UK!!
