Fish and Chips

Fish and Chips...comfort food at its best.

Halibut or Cod.  Haddock or Mahi Mahi.  Plaice or Pollock.  Skate or Ray.  The type of fish for the perfect fish and chips depends on personal preference.  Then there is the batter be it beer, tempura or other.  One must also consider the quality and type of oil or fat that the fish and chips are cooked in.

All of these factors are taken into consideration for the Bill and Joan Scale of Fish and Chips.  This fish and chip scale is named for Bill and Joan who operated the local fish and chip shop when I was a child. I still consider their fish and chips to be the best that I have ever had.  There have been few fish and chips that come close to the childhood memories of those glorious golden crispy pieces of halibut and chips.

As I carry on with this blog I will on occasion report in on the on going search for the perfect fish and chips.  Until then here are a few photographs of recent sample.
