Re: Cod n chips
OK, he's come in to defend his honor and Englishness.. that photo is wrong (old). Try this:
The chips definitely had no skins, were VERY greasy (been paying the price this afternoon) and were not too thick. "Not where I come from anyway."
I am just the messenger.
If it helps, they don't serve booze?

Re: Cod n chips
Hmm... that's what I thought. And they don't quite look greasy enough.

Re: Cod n chips
Love fish and chips. Can get really good ones here on the Avenue because they are all Micks ;-) But the best I've ever ever had were just across the Can/Am border on the way into Nova Scotia. Made with halibut instead of cod.
But alas and aleck, no more fried foods for me and/or bread coatings.
JG how could you not like fish??????????? You and my sister are the same. When we were away last weekend, she asked if the restaurant we were going to had things other than fish for her to eat

Re: Cod n chips
I made some lovely fish and chips the other week, with help from a couple of posts on the recipe thread. We had curry sauce with them, thanks to some Bisto granules I brought back from my last trip.
Of course, the biggest fillet of cod you can find round here is the equivalent of a small one in the UK, but that's OK 'cos you can only get tiny deep fat fryers anyway.

Re: Cod n chips
I agree with you on the bones. If I get a bone in my fish at a particular restaurant I will never order fish there again and will stick mainly to shell fish.
