I have never had this dish, and was wondering what kinds of fish is used and what are chips, french fries? Also, what is served with it, such as tarter sauce, mayo, mustard, what?Is it fried, baked or broiled?

Fish and chips ahhhhhhhhhhhh lovely. The only way to really enjoy fish and chips is from a Fish and Chip shop! The fish is normally cod or haddock coated in batter and deep fried in oil. The chips are fingers of potato (usually quite a bit thicker than french fries) also deep fried. The fish and chips are then smothered in salt and vinegar and wrapped in paper. The very best place to have Fish and Chips is at a coastal resort where you will take your meal, sit on a bench looking out to sea and eating with your fingers. MmmmmmmmmmmmmmmThe English have been eating this delicacy for a hundred years or so I would imagine.

OMG..Fish and Chips..thanks for the lunch idea..its our national dish..chips are potatoes that are sliced, par boiled then fried in hot oil..(YUMMY), the fish is usually cod which is battered then deep fried (healthy huh?)..haddock is also a popular choice..it goes with salt and vinegar and a load of tomato sauce..we have been eating fish and chips for years and years..used to be eaten directly from newspaper..with the print and all..actually that's the only way to eat fish and chips..straight out of the paper..also, mushy peas and chips is very popular..especially in the north east..

The fish you would generally use for this dish is cod which has been battered, and the chips are just chips. Potatoes that are sliced thin and boiled in oil and then covered with salt. This is a pretty simple dish.

Fish; Cod, Haddock, Skate, plaice, Rockling. Deep fried in batter, made from flour eggs milk and or water. Chips; Potatoes cut into strips and also deep fried. Served together. They are thicker than french fries. Eat what you like with it, but I would have tartare sauce with my fish and a slice of bread and butter to make a chip buttie (sandwich). I don't eat it much these days, as it is full of saturated fat. It is said to be a Jewish invention dated from the 16th century. It tends to be a British favourite, but I don't know why. I'd rather have a meat and veg roast dinner with gravy and Yorkshire puddings. yum.

The fish is coated with batter (flour and water mix) and deep fried. Chips are French fries but normally a lot more thickly cut. These are also deep fried. They are traditionally eaten doused with salt and malt vinegar. Don't know when they became popular - you'd have to Google it.

Although I have traveled and lived all over the world (including England) I must say that the very best fish and chips I have ever eaten are from Vancouver, Canada (many different restaurants and beach stands). Usually the fish used there is cod or halibut. The fries as noted must be thick, crisp and fresh. The paper wrap is not all that important, better a nice cardboard tray, but one absolutely must coat the fish with fresh squeezed lemon and the chips with salt and cider/malt vinegar! Some ketchup on the side may be permitted, but mashed peas, curry, mayo, cheese, gravy, tartar, mustard, or any other "goo" is just disgusting beyond belief, don't even THINK about it! (The Colonies ALWAYS learn to do things better than the mother country....)
