Today, 4th September, is National Fish and Chips Day!
I don't know who decides that today's the day to go to the chip shop, but it has made me pretty hungry.
I tend to go for a chip butty, either with mushy peas or curry sauce. If I'm feeling adventurous then a scallop and scraps might be added to the order.
But here are the all important questions:

Okay, what's everyone having?I tend to go for a chip butty, either with mushy peas or curry sauce. If I'm feeling adventurous then a scallop and scraps might be added to the order.
But here are the all important questions:
- What do you order?
- Is salt and vinegar added to the mix?
- Any sauce?
- Do you have any fish and chip traditions?
- Where is best place to get fish and chips?

It has to be a standard fish and chip meal for me, I'm not too fussy about what type of white fish. Yes to vinegar, no to salt (to be healthy, of course...). No other sauces needed.
I also can't stand the feeling of wooden cutlery on my tongue, so I either eat it with my fingers or wait until I get home!
If I'm not getting fish then I'll definitely go for chips, cheese and gravy. Moving up north converted me -
I usually have cod but today as it’s free I’ll have plaice and chips please, a little salt and vinegar thank you ?

Fish, chips and curry sauce for me. Salt but no vinegar, spoils the taste of the curry sauce....
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Haddock & chips with salt & vinegar, & some tartare sauce. Best place to get them......Yorkshire.

I like the battered sausages and with chips I like curry sauceI find it funny that fish and chips was designed as a cheap meal for the working classes but now it’s quite expensive so we only get it as a treat these days!!

Fish, cod or haddock, mushy peas and scraps or sometimes a Yorkshire fish cake butty
Salt and vinegar, always best from the seaside we sometimes drive to coast (not near) just for fish and chips
Also a tradition round here to have fish on Friday -
My favourite meal. I would have it on Christmas Day instead of a roast if the others would go along with the idea. Fish: Rock or Haddock. A Wally, Seaside but anywhere will do. Never use knife or fork. Salt and Vinegar and a slice of Lemon. I like to keep the tradition of Fish on Friday whenever I can.

In a factory in The North, a chip butty in newspaper was the cheapest mid day meal, with a 'proper' chipped enamel mug of strong sweet tea. Being really hungry, that was food for the gods. The richer workers had fish and even exotic extras such as pickled eggs. It was amazing to find out back then that in Belgium they had good chips, but in place of salt and vinegar, they used mayonnaise. Everyone knew that's strictly for lettuce. Funnily enough, it tasted good, but best not admit having tried such wierd behaviour when back in u.k.

@newborn I'm sorry but mayonaise is something I don't use, even on salad. Good old Fish and Chips all day long for me.
-
Nor do I, but them funny furriners are still putting it on their chips. They even think it's us who are wierd, for using salt and vinegar.

I’d order fish and chips with salt, vinegar, and mushy peas. I’d have bread and butter with it too. Unless I need to eat it on the go, in which case chips and cheese for me please

Mine would have been chips haddock and curry sauce but being( good and loosing weight fish and curry sauce) will do for me with a slice of brown bread and a cup of tea loverly the only thing is we live so near a chip shop well 2 just around the corner so when you don't feel like cooking some days very tempting.
