I’ve seen two photos of truly excellent looking fish + chips* this evening and now that’s all I want. *One up north, one in Scotland. I love London with all my heart but we have to cede this one. (We are right about keeping the skin on tho) - ThreadSky

Eish masala fish in naan was available outside of the midlands and the north

Fish coated in a masala mix, deep-fried to perfectly crispy outside + tender and moist on the inside, served in straight out of the tandoor naan + salad + yoghurt dressing + chilli sauce

Seriously, what's not to like?

I didn’t even know about this dish, but now I wish it were available here too!

I had a really great piece of battered fish a few weeks ago. Didn’t even need the chips

southlondongirl.bsky.social•8 days ago

Where from? And I ALLLLWAYS need chips.

lucyfishwife.bsky.social•8 days ago

ALAS. The sticks, so not easily accessible. But (and you know me) the batter was so crisp and thick I didn’t need the chips

NOOOOO - NO-ONE wants flabby fish skin inside batter, JFC it makes me horripilate 😵‍💫

What? I thought you were a Scot Fi? You've let us all done.

So grim. Also Scotland doesn’t do it! Nor does Dublin, I found to my delight this week (so promptly had it two nights running) 😻

Either I have false memories or my local chippy was v rough: both are possible.

I’ve always seen skin on as a London/south coast thing. And I still love it. But I’ll always eat the skin whatever cooking method (except poached)

The best fish & chips are homemade, I reckon. Or in a bloody good place by the sea like Aldeburgh. Don’t get be wrong, I get them from the chippy but then remember I can do it better!

I don’t deep fry at home so have never tested myself on this one.

caromthomas.bsky.social•6 days ago

I shallow fry the fish, if that helps...
