I’ve eaten “fish and chips” perhaps a hundred times in the U.S., but I’ve never had any I consider REAL fish and chips like the ones made by Pakistanis at Carfax Fish and Chips when I was studying at Oxford. I’ve had good fish, and sometimes good batter on that fish, but the chips here are NOT right, ever. I love great American fries, and there are lots of kinds of fries that are great, but American fries are NOT what real fish and chips are supposed to have. They should be soggy, pale, served in paper, and with lots of salt and vinegar on them as well as on the fish. NEVER catsup, and NEVER tarter sauce.
That said, I’ve had the “fish fingers” at the Tierra del Sol Country Club Restaurant and found them very large and very tasty. Biggest “fingers” I’ve ever seen. I found the “fish and chips” at Blue Fin regrettable. (I have nothing against using tarter sauce with fish, and I love catsup with fries—or fries with my catsup. It’s just that REAL fish and chips MUST use salt and vinegar ONLY. Also, I’ve eaten at supposed British fish and chip places in the US and been sorely disappointed.)
