    I actually went and had some last night and jesus christ my palate was offended. Even when swimming in malt vinegar and tartar sauce, I just couldn’t stand it. I can fix this:

    • Salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, cumin, and cayenne in the dry dredge
    • A dry stout in the wet dredge mix instead of a lager or a pale ale, anything with a body really
    • Maybe a layer of panko breadcrumbs I toasted beforehand
    • A far more flavorful fish than cod, i’m thinking salmon fingers

    The sun never set on the British empire, and they never used the spices they stole.

      Counterpoint: some people eat food so covered in spices/herbs/etc. they lose the ability to taste more subtle flavours.

        well, I gotta say, I lived in the UK, their standard for fish and chips is oily af; it’s hard to enjoy the toppings and use the thing as a vehicle for sauces etc when it’s super greasy from breading to fish. I’ve had better fish and chips in Canada and Belgium.
