Fish and chips

Fish and chips is a typical British takeaway which consists of deep fried in batter baptized and fish in combination with fried potato strings, fairly thick.

An important difference with fries or French fries is the texture: this is remarkable slapper at chips.

One has the choice of various fish species. The most common are Cod and haddock, but also other types of round fish are used. On the desk is generally a bottle of vinegar (for about the chips) and salt, if desired, on the chips. The use of mayonnaise on the chips is rare and sometimes leads to misunderstanding when asked. The fish and chips was formerly taken generally wrapped in newspaper. Today this is no longer possible by legislation and the snack wrapped in special paper, often printed as if the newspaper is.

If this variant is also sausage and chips sold. The fish is replaced by one or more sausages with a crust of the same batter as the fish that is fried.

It's pretty much anywhere for sale in Great Britain, but also popular in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa and in some seaside resorts in Netherlands.
