Do you enjoy eating fish and chips (fries)?

It's all about the fish Kellie. Fish so big you have to have special plates! Would like a pot of curry sauce to dip my chips in though.

I am with you on the curry sauce, Sarah. I recently found a brand of granules of said sauce, that is a close approximation.

I am half convinced that some cuts of fish are sheared off the side of whales instead. They are unfeasably large.

Do they cook the fish in the same kind of oil or fat as the fries?

Yes, from what I've observed. They have these giant vats of very hot oil that they just dump everything into. @Devlyn could likely tell you more though. She worked in that environment.

I think the chips might be cooked separate but I think that's what gives the fish and other battered things a great taste as it's all cooked in the same oil. There is a open air living museum near me called Beamish and they have two fish and chip shops there, a coal fired one in the 1900's pit village and one in the 1950's village I think. They both use actual beef dripping for the fat. They taste awesome!

Beamish is something quite extraordinary. I have been there several times. For anyone interested in any degree of history, it is worth visiting!
