Good luck with it. If you can make your Fish and Chips taste authentic you'll be an amazing man. Well, you surely are, but...

The best fat for this is beef dripping, I believe. It's suppposed to be why it tastes so much better up North in Engand than down in the South where they use Sunflower Oil and stuff like that.

I'd have thought the batter would be made like pancake batter, and the fish dunked in it. But there must be someone here who has worked in a chippy who'd know. However I suspect they have to sign something like the Official Secrets Act.

And when you've cracked it you can move on to the deep fried Mars Bars...
