    Is this passable for fish and chips? It's a disgustingly good fried cod.

    (not my photo) but the pub at the end of my street is pretty killer, and it will be nice to be able to go there whenever America gets great again.

    • Those fries are proper crunchy!grafician
    • They're so good. They're at my corner pub, which probably gives away where I live, but I don't care.garbage

    • looks good but what is the green thing?kingsteven
    • here you generally need to ask for cod in a normal chippy... fish and chips (fish supper) usually plaice. most will have 3-4 options for fish.kingsteven
    • pub grub usually cod tho. good they've got the tartar sauce. do they do mushy peas?kingsteven
    • Wait, you're in the Seattle?!grafician
    • The green thing is the thing you throw away. And yes, Seattle. So what's the normal fish for fish and chips?garbage
    • it's different all over the UK, cod is the 'traditional' fish for fish and chips. here it's plaice, some areas its haddock. i'd often go for whiting. which iskingsteven
    • essentially just a smaller kind of cod. cod is overfarmed wild and bred in farms so it's often 2x the price to buy and many folks don't realise the difference.kingsteven
    • When I was a kid I used to catch, clean and cook whiting. That takes me way back.garbage
