You're right - it is different. Here we have fish fried in batter and fat chips (fries) wrapped up in paper. You can have mushy peas with them, but I never do as I think they're horrid. I've noticed that you can have them with curry sauce too, but I don't fancy that either. You can get salt and vinegar on the chips, but I prefer to put my own s more…

I suspect our chippies--or "fish fry's" as we call them, are much different than yours.
Our "fish fry's"--at least in New York state and New England, are traditionally served on a hot-dog roll, with fries (chips) and cole slaw on the side, as our "fish and chips" dinner--or served by itself just on the roll.

Thanks for your comment. Looks like I missed it when you made it. They sound like interesting alternatives. I didn't realise you had chippies in the USA. more…

I was wondering how I could improve them - looks like chives could do it. I'll try them next time. Thanks. more…

Oh yes, still warm. No butter though as I prefer mine without. But you're welcome to have butter with yours. more…

I know this is an old post, but wanted to add, that here in the US, the typical "tartar" sauce is simply mayo mixed with sweet pickle relish and a few drops of lemon juice--most commonly found on McDonald's Filet O' Fish sandwich, over here.
Conversely, Ted's Fish Fry, a local chippy where I grew up, used a sweet chilli sauce on their more…

Diatribe - "bitter and abusive criticism" - I don't think so. I just listed the oils I like best, not because they are expensive (which they are) or trendy, but because I enjoy the taste of them. I use those oils for salads of for dipping bread in. For cooking, where the taste doesn't matter so much, I usually use a generic supermarket organic. more…

I think your diatribe about oils is terrible. It seems to be trendy to use so called good oils for cooking, I cook and enjoy cooking and baking. I use oil from Asda if I need it. I also can give you a splendid recipe for mince pies. more…

Glad you like the sound of the salads enough to want to try them.

Glad you want to try the potato and onion salad. What I do when someoen doesn't like an ingredient in a salad I'm making, is to make the salad without that ingredient, take out a portion for whoever, and then add the other ingredient to the rest. Of course, if they want second helpings, it's difficult. Actually you can take out a large portion f more…
