Fish & Chips
|
Every town on the coast has multitudes of fish and chip shops. The fish is always in batter and served with a mound of big fat chips. The fish are all deep fried unless you asked for it to be grilled. Depending on the season and shop different fish are available. Lashings of salt and vinegar are the usual accompaniment, although all other sauces are provided. Eat in or takeaway available at most restaurants.

You will usually find a selection of standard fresh fruit available such as apples, bananas, oranges – but also there will frequently be a large bowl of fresh fruit salad with yoghurts. The fruit salad is put into a plastic or polystyrene container to take away, with a carton of yoghurt of your choice and a plastic spoon.

Potato Scallop
|
\"oh and I'll have a potato scallop too\" is not the most unusual thing heard at a fish and chip shop and one might think that chips would be enough potato to fill anyone's day. Thick slices of potato are battered and deep fried. Salt and vinegar or lemon juice is all that is needed to enhance the flavour or maybe a good dunk in tomato sauce is suitable too!

Always a favourite in health bars, due to its low fat content and versatility. Generally served with a mixed salad (or a helping from the salad bar) it is usually cooked oil-free on a grill, sometimes with seasoning, sometimes as a Cajun version. It is often ‘butterflied’ and cooked with a fresh herb marinade. Dry baked slices of potatoes can also be an accompaniment.
