My first experience with fish and chips was when i was stationed in Scotland in the early 60's. The chips were always chunks of potatoes, not frozen french fries. The fish was chunks of cod. All this was sprinkled with salt and malt vinegar and wrapped in the daily newspaper for you to take home. I have not been able to find anything with this taste since leaving there.
