Re: Real English Fish and Chips in KS ?
If you're ever in NYC, instead of going to fish and chip places in Manhattan take the Metro-North train to the Woodlawn section of the Bronx. Walk a few blocks up from the station to Katonah Avenue in the Bronx or McLean Avenue will intersects it in Yonkers. Our Irish Pubs are owned and operated by the Irish and all our restaurants here offer fish and chips. No mushy peas but instead they offer Heinz beans. You can buy cans of mushy peas in any of the shops along the Avenue. Yes, you will get the tartar sauce as pictured but as an American, I like it. No cocktail sauce offered. All tables are served malt vinegar along with some type of (to me) foreign steak sauce. Someone just opened a Fish and Chips shop on the avenue and they are doing a landmark business.

They're not real fish and chips unless they're served wrapped a page of the News of the world, soaked in vinegar and doused with salt

When's the last time you had good tacos or good Italian beef sandwiches in the UK?

I don't think you'd find them anywhere here. It's essentially British just like a genuine pork pie. Cant be copied and cant be beat

There are a few proper chippies in the US (with proper chip shop chips like you'd find in the UK). Maybe we should start a chippy wiki?
A Salt & Battery Home in Greenwich Village
British Cuisine Bennington, VT - Lil' Britain Fish & Chip Shop in Bennington, VT
Home Page in Santa Barbara
Used to be one in Allston (Boston), but got shut down due to a health code violation. There must be more - albeit rare as hell I grant you.

There used to be one in Richmond ME called Ye Olde English Fish and Chip Shoppe, which was run by a Welsh guy :-)

H. Salt fish and chips nearest I've come to anything like back home. The proprietors at the H. Salt nearest me are Chinese but they do a very good job.
The best fish and chips I tasted were from a hole in the wall place on a side street near Wimbledon Railway station. The owners were a Greek couple

Re: Real English Fish and Chips in KS ?
I am very extremely extra specially lucky. Almost literally round the corner from where I live is Art's Fish & Chips, owned by a lovely couple who have run it for nearly 40 years. Proper batter, chip-chop chips, available options include mushy peas, proper tartare sauce, and sometimes they have pickled eggs avaialble too. Of course, as a sop to the fact that this is Canada, you can have poutine instead of regular chips.
The batter is made, and the potatoes cut, in-house; usually you'll have your fish battered and cooked to order. I tend to go for lingcod (called Alaska White for some reason), or sometimes cod or haddock. Occasionally I'll splash out on halibut.
Mmmmm. I think this evening's supper decision has been made...
