Quoted from Son of Cod

Salt and vinegar on the chips, blob of ketchup on the side. Generous squeeze of lemon on the fish, then smother the whole fish in a layer of tartare sauce followed by a layer of mushy peas. Then you're good to go. No fannying around with any additional mid-meal saucing/seasoning.

Have you gone insane? Load of tartare sauce on the fish?!?!

No fannying about thank you. Plenty of salt  and vinegar.
That’s it.

Maybe smother wasn't the correct word, but yeah of course it's going on the fish. I can't be arsed dipping it in every bite, my way is far more efficient.

One of these days I will be able to open a thread that ACTUALLY discusses what the title says!

I feel the need to confess to something. I sometimes put mint sauce on my mushy peas, with haddock on the same plate, I try to keep the mint sauce away from the haddock, but usually the batter gets cross-contaminated. A total aberration I know, but obviously I only do that in my own home. I was a bit worried at one time because my kids saw me do it, luckily they never mentioned at school and thankfully smart phones and social media weren't around when they were school age. Social services never found out. The kids never talk about it but I expect it will eventually get mentioned at my wake.

It all started at Leeds Uni Students Unions in the autumn of 81, pie and peas and a pint of Tetley bitter for 80p; I saw a student called Liam from Bolton put the mint sauce on the mushy peas. He also liked Echo and the Bunnymen, had an Ian McCulloch hair cut and wore a long green army coat and we became drinking buddies. Its good to be able to talk about it after all this time.

I went out with a girl at uni that liked skate and chips instead.

I’m not from Grimsby. My dad is the son of a trawler man, but my dad left Grimsby in 1972. I didn’t really start eating fish until I was around 30, so I don’t have a life time of fish eating experience either. So maybe I’m not qualified to say this, but I’ve lost a lot of respect for some people on here after reading how you eat your Haddock.

I’d rather eat Cod than have Haddock in the way described by some of you.

I would never buy him Cod, but I would not let him treat Haddock badly either. Naughty Boy.

Now I know this is a support group, I'll go next.  My name is Keith and when I was a teen, I used to eat fish cake butties with piccalilli.  I have had extensive counselling and now I am recovering picallilholic.

If we’re turning this into confessional then I’ve been reading this thread with interest while holding in something I fear may see me banned from the fishy.

I don’t like fish.
