Fish and Chips DIY

[Frank McGrath]

The best fish and chips I have ever tasted was in London, in a takeaway trailer by the tower of London. Every time I hear Fish and chips, my mind goes directly to that trailer.

Down here in Oz we have pretty mean fish and chips as well. I have been told by several people in the know that the best chips are those which are double fried. We also have potato cakes, which when done right, have a crispy battered outside and a fluffy potato centre. The only fish I had, when I was in England last, was cod, but down here there is a multitude of species and every fish and chip shop has at least a dozen to choose from.

The best fish and chips I can remember, is when as a youngster, you would get them wrapped in newspaper (illegal these days) and go down the beach and share them with the seagulls

Here, along the Great Lakes, where HUGE populations of German immigrants settled, the Friday Fish Fry (ideally) with potato pancakes is a staple.

I don't eat a lot of deep fried food, but every once in a while we'll drive in to our favorite spot for beer battered fish, German cole slaw (vinegar, not mayo based) and potato pancakes- usually with a crisp pilsner or weiss bier. German restaurants tend to be a bit lacking in good ESB.
