Johnny Rockets, Fish and Chips, very skimpy and spendy....Like a tourist trap...Walking out feeling foolish, checked to see if Johnny Rockets put my Calvin's back on.......

I'm not sure what the point is to fish and chips. It's just fried fish with fries on the side. So, why is this considered a special dish, except that you are calling french fries chips instead of fries?

Demshar's on a Friday night

Has anyone had fish and chips in England? Is it different? 20 years ago if you wanted a Philly Cheesteak you had to go to Pat's. [since then IMHO the bread is too soggy with water from the frozen steak]

...

In THE U.K. They are called chips. If it is cooked just right its the Best. Born in SCOTLAND love to have the real thing. xoxoxo

Philly Cheesteak's get at Jersey Mikes on 441.THE BEST I've had since moving to the BUBBLE 16 Yr. ago. Bread is v good. I'm A Philly Girl. Pat's were to grease. TONEY LUKS in good old SOUTH PHILLY ARE THE BEST IN THE CITY OF PHILAPHIA

In the U.S., I think it is just a marketing gimmick. You can get fries with just about anything you order. No difference from the "chips" you get with the fish and chips.

I'm a Tony Luke fan but once I got there, I always got the pork, broccoli rob, provolone and long hots. There was a place on south street for steaks I liked. It was near the theater that had the Rocky Horror Picture Show. What is the name?

thanks for the jersey mike's advice---one is coming down here on my end of town----i'll take family but I'm more of a DIY kind of guy

Having Lived in both countries I truly believe there is no such thing as GOOD Fish and Chips in the USA and no such thing as a GOOD Hamburger in the UK.

P.S. Translation: USA- Fries UK- Chips

USA Chips UK- Crisps.

Interesting but not helpful.
Why are the fish and chips better? Better fish, better oil, hotter oil, better batter------

I'm thinking the OP requested the opinions of the best fish and chips in THE AREA, not all over the world. If that's the case, the best F&C I've had here in TV was on Friday nights at Hacienda Hills CC. AUCE and very reasonable!

Yorkshire County Fish Shop, Epcot World Showcase.

Ramshackle has good fish and chips and they bring vinegar without being asked

It's the same point as...
 

having a McDonalds(who originally just served a burger or cheese burger, fries and a drink). It's just a fast food joint that used to sell just the single fillet and fries wrapped in news paper.

There's nothing for to get a point from except that you're from America and it originated in England.

As to calling them chips in lieu of fries...gooogle it.

The first time I had fish and chips...
 

was in Scotland in the late 80's. It sucked. The fish was boney and both were soaked in their deep fry oil...fries limp. Never had it again. Much better fish and chips in the US.

Our Scottish friends say that the Fish and Chips at Johnny Rockets is the closest to the UK as they have had.

Love the fried fish & chips at Tierra Del Sol.

Had the Fish and Chips for lunch at Bonefish last week. Not bad, and the Malt Vinegar was brought to the table promptly when we asked.

Oh please do not compare Johnny Rockets to Scottish fish and chips. We were based in Helensburgh for two years and our local fish and chip shop was wonderful. Every Friday night it was fish and chips and our son had chicken and chips. Wrapped in wax paper and newspaper. I wonder if they still serve it that way?

I've actually not had them there or anywhere. I was just passing along the info I was told by our friends who come from Scotland. I prefer my fish baked or grilled.

Try Havana's Fish and Chips. Ordered it last weekend, and I was the best I ever had. Yuengling beer battered haddock that has a crispy coating and is moist inside. And, it's not dripping with grease like I experienced in Ireland or the UK.

I have not found any to compare to UK. So far here I find fish to be either on the greasy side( oil not hot enough, or batter inside still dough (frozen fish).

Agree! Havanna has very good fish and chips!

Yup, ordered fish and chips, in London back in the day....I did not find black newsprint on my oily fried cod, or smeared on my "chips" appetizing ..Luckily there was a "bin" near by...Say what, and all that, isn't it...

Rae-Rae's Friday's on 441

The best fish and chips I have had here in the states is at "The Rose and Crown" at Epcot. Great crust and moist on the inside. If you don't have reservations there you can get fish and chips at their walkup window.

God's honest truth, had fish one time in Miami and Erik Estrada was a few tables away. Does that count?

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.

The best I've had were at Thomas Rigby's on Dale St in Liverpool, UK.

There are also a lot of great sites to see while you're there.

They also have many fantastic ales.

There used to be a fast food thing I forget what it was called that had the best fish and chips. Alas it is gone to Failed Fast Food Heaven

Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips?

I was just about to give the same answer.

this is interesting
Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips is alive and thriving in Northeast Ohio (photos) | cleveland.com


Four left in Ohio

I wish it was here. Miami is the first and last place I saw it. Even my kids, not fish lovers, liked the fish and chips

When we first moved here, there was an Arthur Treacher's/Nathans in The Villages Walmart. Sorry to see them close. I understand that there are only 7 left in the country.

We will have to try them. Don't recall having fish and chips in U.K.

Loved the shepherd's pie served at pubs there. Never been able to find it here or fix it just right at home.
