You had *no right * to make me laugh that hard, no right at all. Now when I see his face it will look like a large, battered slab of haddock. It kind of does, anyway.
Hie thee to eBay when you get one of those Abe Vigoda fish on your plate. That’s worth at least three virgins spied in a taquito and a son of god pancake.
Dunno, that’s why I asked. Somehow, I expected the fish to be in some sort of bite sized form.
:smack: Ah, I get it now.
Like Cervaise said.
It depends on where I go. Some places have the big steak fries, some have the skinny kind. Some have a whole fish fillet, some have large chunks of no particular named shape.
Bite-sized? Nah, never seen it.
Oh, well if it’s done right, picture them taking a slab o’ fish about the size of your hand, dunking it in batter and then into the deep fryer until the batter is golden brown. Drain, remove. The fried fish takes on whatever odd shape the batter took when it hit the oil. It’s not bite-sized. But it’s durned good. I miss real fish and chips!
'round the corner, at a little place called chippy’s you order by fish type - halibut, haddock, cod, sole, salmon, tuna, sea scallops, or prawns, and the fish (fresh daily) is battered (guinness & panko) in front of you. the chips are, of course, freshly cut. the tartar, slaw, & mushy peas are home-made, and you have a 1 in 4 shot of watching your lemon wedge get cut when you order.
if you order fish & chips in a pub here you are most likely to get haddock or cod, though some places serve halibut or sole; rarely, you might have a choice between two of those. usually the pub fare is frozen, and sometimes it’s even straight from a captain highliner box.
