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?

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]

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!
