Always a good choice. What type of fish? Cod? Pollock? Do you use white vinegar on your chips and tartar sauce on your fish? I use lemon first and homemade tartar sauce.

Brits normally have malt vinegar on chips and fish.

I was recalling scenes from the chippy...paper, chips on top, then fish...’salt and vinegar of that love’? :D I don’t eat fish, but hubby said the chippy would sprinkle vinegar on it all.

I can well imagine that. When asked in the chippy "salt and vinegar with that?" I had to be quite firm with the "just on the chips please". ;)

Didn’t you get called ‘love’ at your chippy? :(

:lol:

I think "mate" was the most familiar term in use. Us southerners, eh?

Wherever it goes I've usually said no thanks, and then put my own on.
In my experience they put salt on first and then wash it to the bottom of the paper with the vinegar. I mean, what's the point? :frown:

Vinegar first so the salt has something to stick to. :unsure:

Absolutely. My Japanese mate bought me a spray thingy for malt vinegar, so that the chips enjoyed a fine vinegar spray before the gentle salt dusting.

Some dipstick broke the spray thingy a while back, I must look to get a new one.

In England I used to have cod or huss - here it's usually haddock.

Malt Vinegar on chips and perhaps a touch of lemon on the fish, never tartar sauce - can't stand the stuff!

If having chips on their own then a sprinkle of malt vinegar, or perhaps some mayo to dip them in :D

Canadians use white vinegar. I was so surprised when I first saw the takeout packets of white vinegar at Tim Horton's
