Help me make Fish & Chips

How could we forget bread, butter and a cup of tea. Has to be pan-bread which is white with well done crust - sliced thin.

Mushy peas look revolting but are delicious - never ever buy tinned. That's all wrong, they're very easy too make with dried peas. Steep overnight and then boil till mushed ...lots of malt vinegar in them too I say.

Consider them a vegetable for a balanced meal lol 8)

have a mate that would buy a jar of cockles from the chippy near our college when he had the munchies, nothing more sickening then watching a skinney marilyn manson lookalike pour a jar of jellied cockles all down his face whilst stoned off his tits, he was a wrongun lol
 
Does anyone else ever ask for the scrumps, or is it just west country thing? The little frazzled bits of chips & batter they scoop off the top of the fryer. So wrong but so right.

I think the UK fish & chip industry owes OP a thank you for the unexpected boost in their takings since this thread was started, I'm off to get some right now :)
 
For real authenticity, you should use the cheapest imported Vietnamese river cobbler you can find and pass it off as fresh domestic cod to your family.

They're called 'scraps' round here. Some chippies still sell them, but it's very rare now. :)

There were two other local chippy leftover delicacies, one called 'pea wet' and one called (no joke) 'babby's 'ead'. Can't quite remember their exact composition, but they both seemed disgusting.

Nightmare, I love the scraps, it makes the whole thing for me, everyone just calls it 'batter' here though, not very original.

I've never been fussed with chippies using dripping, you don't really see it much here just your bog standard fat. I live fairly close to the coast so there are some great chippies up here, this thread is making me crave fish n chips with plenty mushie peas and batter ;)
 
Mushy peas are just soooooooooooo wrong.

I'm so southern.

In Wales we have 'half-and-half'.

Half chips, half rice.
 
Yeah, I was utterly bemused by that during my period of living / dossing in Wales. Just couldn't see it at all. Rice not being considered a manly enough foodstuff to provide sustenance for the Mancunian male.
 
I don't get it...

Peas in a pod = Lovely

Peas = Lovely

Mushy Peas = Disgusting

Where are people going wrong in the mushifying process?
 
I think there is something fundamentally wrong with NOT liking good old mushy peas :) Also, rice AND chips? starch overload! I've only ever had that option when ordering curry or chinese...
 
Texture may be the key. Either that or bald economics - perhaps it was more thrifty to mush up and thereby provide fewer peas, or it allowed unscrupulous chip barons to use peas that were well past their best.

Who knows, apart from the now-deceased pioneers of this world-renowned gastronomic phenomenon?

I'm sad to say I've never "made" mushy peas , I often buy a tin of mushy ones, and a tin of processed ones, and mix them together.

just so,fucking wrong importing that sort of shit :(

our local chippy started trying to sell it, didn't bother trying after a few weeks, peeps got more sense :)
 
oh yeah, my mother-in-law always serves mushy peas with her overcooked sunday roasts, I don't know anyone else does this.
 
I'm having a hard time figuring out the difference between chips and french fries.

French fries are what they serve you in McDonald's.

Chips are huge slices of potato that you get with yer fish =D
 
A French fry is crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle. A chip is softer and wetter, and its thickness affects the texture quite a lot. It's less cooked in the middle, it doesn't collapse like with a fry, it's still firm, soggy potato. I can imagine that it might not necessarily be to American tastes. It shouldn't have a firm exterior, and it should bend, not snap. Hope that helps.
