gimmick. No real Brit would waste good bogpaper like that when you could use a plate that you can wash and use again. :D

When I was in Britain for a few weeks many years ago, I had F&C once. From a truck. Actually, I guess it would have been a lorry, since we were in England. And it was served in a funnel of newspaper and was very greasy. Disgusting, to be honest. We were by the ocean.

The problem with fish and chips is when it's nasty, it's really nasty. It's not one of those "can't go wrong" things.

Yeah. I had some at Iron Hill Brewery where it seemed that the oil got trapped between the breading and the fish. It was a runny, yucky mess.

Don't trust any F&C in the USA. It's like don't trust any cheesesteak outside the Philly area. The nearest proper F&C is in Bermuda.

But then you have to say "battered fish" and I feel really sorry for the fish in a bad domestic situation. :fishsmilie:
