I don't really know what is considered real fish & chips. However, during our visit to London last year, we were given one whole fried fileted fish that was as wide as a plate. It's not like fish & chips in America-just small chopped pieces of fried fish.
So we were impressed because those fishes were rather large. And this was the same for every fish & chips order.

>Fish and chips are the english >equivalent of Mcdonalds...
Sorry, that's just not true. It's a much healthier meal. For a start as somebody said, you get a real fish battered and freshly fried. The chips are thickly cut unlike french fries and so have far more potato than fat.

Mary and Veollette: Glad to be of service still -- three years after writing.
Veollette: Next time I am near Victoria I shall be there. I do like a good tapas restaurant (There's one in Canterbury, along the road from the gate of Kings College there, and a fine Portugese one at the Vasco da Gama pub on old South Lambeth Road, a short bus strip over the river from the Tate Britain.)

I have often seen fish and chips written as 'London or London style fish and chips.' Please note fish and chips are available throughout the whole of UK, not just London. Look for a busy fish n chip shop, with a long queue of local people, thats where the crispest nicest ones will be.

Egg is right. In the North we still use chip-chopping machines. I should know as a student I used to work at Harry Ramsden's Leeds, and had to shovel two tonnes of spuds in to one every Saturday! If any one is ever in Leeds, then I can recommend Harry Ramsden's in Guisley, and Brians in Headingley for world famous F&C.
