Off Topic Good Friday - Fish & Chips

I'm a traditionalist when it comes to chippy. Peas, salt and vinegar, chips, fish. Maybe bread if I can be arsed to butter it. Gravy with fish seems odd. Gravy and chips, yeah, all day. But not fish, not for me. Ditto curry.

To me it's like saying I'll have ketchup on a Sunday Roast, or salad cream on anything that exists ever.

 

Ended up using frozen garden peas to accomodate my wife. She's not "er indoors" she's pretty spectacular and ... enough said. Used cider for the batter and to be honest I didn't notice a huge difference from beer ... Perhaps a touch lighter and sweeter. Did you see the moon tonight? That was almost as good as my dinner.

 

Yes the moon here yesterday morning was excellent

 

"The Moon's a Balloon."...
...great read.

 

Not your usual fish for Good Friday, but this is what I will be having with chips of cause.

 

TC give the curry sauce a try followed by an IPA that I was introduced to by a chap from Baltimore a couple of weeks ago. Can you get, or have you ever tried Dogfish Head IPA?

 

Had tilapia deepfried in batter the other week. Beautiful it was just like haddock. No curry sauce though.

 

Hopefully the one on Railway street in Pock will be open for me. Stay safe everyone

 

I prefer that one to Stuart's, most people rate Stuart's but my experience was often used frozen fish not fresh, which having been in the fish business all my working life I could tell the difference. Much prefer fresh fish rather than sea frozen.

 

Always thought that there was something fishy about you John.

That is all.

 

I heard about Whiteheads in Hornsea. Went there for a drive the Friday before lockdown. Excellent F&C. The 'regular' fish was well handsome. Lovely chips.
I be returning there asap after lockdown.

Ps I trust the cheque is the post.

 

Is it Glen Burnie, Baltimore. My cousins live there. Tom is a massive Ravens fan and follows City from afar. Like a lot of us, nowadays, I guess.

Ah the, 'how to make curry sauce for fish & chips' emoji

 

1000% agree

 

It certainly is. I think I would have liked David Niven as a friend, he was quite a character.

 

I can cope with curry sauce on chips but I cant see the point in buying premium fish and covering it in any type of sauce. Malt vinegar for me, then I can taste what I'm eating. Am old enough to remember re-heated school dinners, with nuns that made you eat it, whether you wanted to or not. Can understand ANY type of sauce to kill the flavour of the **** we were given described as fish, but try not to remember the experience.

 

I have heard that Dogfish Head is very good but I have never seen it in Canada. I have tried many Canadian and US craft pale ales and IPAs and generally speaking, I find them too hoppy and too citrus flavoured. I think they use Cascade hops. A local brew pub, Bushwackers, makes a variety of excellent beers of which 'Regina Pale Ale' is probably my favourite. Incidentally, they do pretty good fish and chips!
