Another quirk of being British, we flip between Imperial and Metric a lot and we measure things and people in feet and inches along with meters.

@@michaeltaylor8835 Down to education. Was taught imperial until a certain date, then our books still used imperial because schools couldn't afford new.

[@anitaherbert1037]

Tip if you soak your raw chips in water in the morning then at night drain them well and pat well dry with a towel, it removes some of the starch. Plus you need your batter to sit longer

[@stevenwestwood8152]

Get a whisk

[@stevenwestwood8152]

A whisk will add more air into your batter but leave batter overnight and whisk again just before frying

[@stevenwestwood8152]

The crunch bits are called scraps in england as kids we would go into the chippy and get them for free with salt and vinegar lovely job

[@seanscanlon9067]

Eating fish and chips with your fingers is fine if you are eating them while outdoors because you usually have no choice unless given a plastic or wooden fork, but sat at a table at home or in a café or restaurant, use a knife and fork.

[@idxlb3744]

@ Well, nobody I know would ever eat fish and chips with their fingers whilst seated at a table. I haven’t seen that sort of uncouth behaviour happening in fish and chip restaurants either. Personally for me the only acceptable time to eat fish and chips with your fingers is out of the wrapper at the seaside. I don‘t know, maybe it‘s a class thing.

[@justlooking6541]

Why on earth did you boil your chips in water before putting them in oil? yeah you cut them too thin and forget the chip spice guys, just cut ur potato chips thick, make sure the oil is hot, put one chip in the pan and if it floats its hot enough and just put the rest in and once they brown, serve with vinegar and salt that's the way we do it.

[@Mike-i6p6i]

That's not how you make proper chips imo😂

[@seanmc1351]

another little tip, a small amount of tumeric in the batter mix, gives a better golden colour, you can also use yeast, which gives a light batter also, after you have let the mixture rest

Up north we have gravy with fish and chips, but its just a standard gravy. I just have it for over the chips and to go with the mushy peas. I don't have it with the fish. I'd have it with sausage, pie or pudding though. Onion gravy is more for a sausage and mash or toad in the hole

mate, little tip or for anyone thats has kids, you see the fish filltet, at the end its cut into a V shape, thats to remoce the bones, the slim section of that V notch, are great for fish bites, smaller bites for the kids, its easier than trying to fry it like that, as it can break easily

[@genericnumber6423]

UK has feet and inches for measuring people's height. We used Imperial and metric. That's why the US has imperial. We used both, but metric is the modern standard. Good job on the fish and chips, looks excellent 👍

Curry sauce with fish n chips, is definitely the standard these days imo. Most supermarkets sell a bunch of curry sauce packs. The curry paste is the best, you get these red and orange tubs in most supermarket and you just make it with boiling water and you isntantly have chippy style curry sauce, would be interesting if someone sent you some. Curry ketchup is quite popular in ireland and germany too.

[@Smoshy16]

For me the only things to add is vinegar on the chips, lemon on the fish then add salt.

I worked in a chippy in Paisley (near Glasgow airport) for years and we done our fish and chips pretty similar although our chips weren’t triple fried x however the potatoes makes a huge difference to the texture x and for seasoning I always vinegared then salted otherwise the vinegar washed off the salt 😉 and I always trained my staff to do it that way xx your smashing these meals x so much so that I think I might get my oh to watch and try some xx much love poor Sav not getting to eat her meal hot lol xx defo need a tripod for the table x

[@TrickyDicky2006]

Reason most salt first then vnegar is the salt sticks to the fat of the chips and the vinegar helps distribute some of it through to the bottom ones. Another good way is to make 'dry' vinegar. where you slowly add malt vinegar to a small bowl of salt until it can be formed like damp sand. Spread it out to dry and then bash it up to a fine grain. It gives a lovely salt and vinegar taste without making them soggy. It also works great on plain crisps too. Gives that old school S&V tatse when you'd just add malt vinegar to a bag of ready salted 😆
