Vinegar, lemon..... on Fish and Chips?

[dks]

What would you, ideally, put on your Fish and Chips?

[Kev D]

Malt vinegar, salt and Ketchup 

Save your lemon for the umbrella drinks

[kirk13]

Depends greatly on what fish,and if it's from the chippy,or home cooked?

Steers seasoning salt is a must in all eventualities!

[dks]

the type of fish etc will be in future polls....

[kkokkolis]

Skordalia (aliada) naturally. If it is codfish.
For smaller fishes, lemon.

[lister]

Since I kinda began this dispute let me make things clear: LEMON. On any deep fried meat dipped in batter, including all kinds of fish. At least that is what you do if you want yourself to be considered a civilised person where I come form.

This poll is biased, vinegar, lemon, ketchup, brown sauce...      ...next you'll want cheese grated over spag bog.

This poll is biased, vinegar, lemon, ketchup, brown sauce...      ...next you'll want cheese grated over spag bog.   

There's the next 2 polls taken care of then. 1. Cheese or no cheese on your pasta, and 2. What type of cheese

What if you choose 'no cheese'?

[eamo]

far be it for me to agree with Kirky, but yeah depends on the fish and how its cooked. From the chipper, definitely malt vinegar, home cooked and unbattered usually lemon.

[lister]

I think we need a thread on what, from time to time, makes MTO threads go of on Monty Python like derails... 

[carboncopy101]

Hotsauce with a bit of catsup

[Reinier]

The Dutch will shout mayonnaise soon

[magentus]

As we're talking fish and chips I'm assuming our national dish is under discussion, so deep fried, battered fish with fried potato's. Gotta have some salt and vinegar on that - usually added to whatever the person at the chippy put on.

[Damsel]

Salt and vinegar!

Then you're wrong.

Oh that is two strikes for you young lady!   

[AimlessWanderer]

The default setting for a UK chippy is salt and vinegar! It's wrong not to, culturally, culinarilly, and morally.

If I'm taking them home, I might add some Hendo's (Hendersons Relish)

Lemon is for unbattered fish, and battered fish in a restaurant will often get both lemon and vinegar.

Brown sauce is for sausage and bacon, not fish.

I don't tend to use ketchup on anything.

Apologies in advance for opening a can of worms.

What goes on the chips then? Just salt? Vinegar as well? Curry sauce? ....gravy?!

[redmond]

OK, I'll play.

On the fish: salt, malt vinegar, then tartar sauce (duck, serpentine run).

On the chips (fries, for us US barbarians): Heinz ketchup.

[kkokkolis]

If any of you visits Greece or Cyprus this summer, for roasted big fish (or lobster etc) just use oil/lemon sauce, called ladolemono (with thyme or oregano preferably). I use to cut onion in it, but that's unusual for a restaurant.

[ToolJoe]

Ketchup and hot sauce for me.

I can't eat a whole fish on a plate like that. The eyes skeeve me out

[Aloha]

I dont eat much fried foods but I am know to put ranch on my chips 

As far as fried fish?  Hmm,  I'm thinking Aioli

Careful now C-Sazzle  It's a geographical thing isn't it? For us who live dahn sarf, chips ent chips wivart salt 'n' vinegar, but I understand my Northern brethren enjoy curry sauce and/or gravy (hopefully not both at the same time). Even further North, I believe the Scotch (  ) like their chips battered and deep fried to accompany pizza/mars bar etc

The Dutch will shout mayonnaise soon

MAYONNAISE!!!

Up the Dutch! Mayo is great with chips(but maybe not fish'n'chips)

Er,Listy,don't you mean having a thread on threads that stay on the rails?

Having said that,do you do the Lister thing of having curry sauce on cornflakes?

It has to be mushy peas with fish and chips, but I thought that was too obvious to need saying.....
