Just want to establish that when posters are referring to 'vinegar', the reference is to malt vinegar.

Here in Thailand when I ask for vinegar in a restaurant I get red wine vinegar or balsamic.
Quite the wrong things to go with fish and chips!

An unhealthy amount of salt plus malt vinegar is all that fish and chips requires,
but I put Hellman's mayonnaise on the chips if it's available. There...I've said it.



All well and good. Mayo is an acceptable 'dip', but pray tell what type of fish are we talking here? Im guessing we arent in the realms of haddock or c#d?

Quoted from Limerick Mariner
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.


And if Liam jumped off a cliff, would you jump off a cliff too?  Minted peas, and to think I was accused of Humberstone residency for merely enjoying tartare sauce like God intended.

The Friday "Special" at Gekko Restaurant, Chiang Mai is c#d and chips - which I haven't tried as the bog-standard fish and chips which is
available all week is decent. I'll have to get back to you about what fish it is though...I haven't bothered to find out (it's not haddock though).

Nothing wrong with minted mushy peas - adds a certain piquancy to your farts.

I'm also sufficiently broad-minded to tolerate folk who stray into tartare sauce territory...provided they don't shamelessly flaunt it on
serious social media discussions on the Fishy about fish and chips.

Quoted from DB
Back in the day, many decades ago, I remember going to the pub with 10 bob (50p to most of you) having 4/5 pints of bitter, losing at cards and going to the chippy for haddock, chips and peas served in newspaper ( nobody died from having fish & chips in newspaper) and having change in my pocket.

My 1st pint in a pub cost me 101/2 old pence ( about 4p in today's money ). Those were the days.


Can anyone else hear the Hovis music playing in the background?

In Aus most battered fish sold as fish and chips is ‘flake’ which is an umbrella term for various types of shark. It also is decent. Sadly tartare is the most common accompaniment. Mushy peas are virtually non existent as are scraps. Part of why I came back to live in the Old Dart.
