Off Topic Beer and chips thread.

The best fish and chips I have ever tasted were in Lincoln. The "Smith" family owned and ran a few chip shops in Lincoln and also a pub / restaurant about 5 miles out of town on the way to Wragby. They had a secret recipe for their batter and people would come from miles away!

 

See, I still don't quite get it? Maybe because of where I live and the stench (aroma?) of greasy fat pervading all corners of the town, empty polystyrene and cardboard wrapping left everywhere (often because the bins are already stuffed full by lunchtime ) and most importantly, in countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy, Croatia, etc nobody batters and deep fries the poor blighters!
Brushed with olive oil and pan-fried or grilled, head on, tail on, surely that's how to cook and present a piece of fish?

I know it's not good for me but I adore beer-battered fresh cod!

 

Have any of you heard of The Chip Inn in Long Stratton? Best fish and chips around!!

Not sure I have, is it any good? Please tell me more?

Bah!

 

They sell fish and chips, and it's in Long Stratton. They are pretty good actually.

 

In fairness I do like fish done in other ways. There is a curry house here in nottingham that does an absolute world of a dish with cod. Almost as good as the chip inns very fin efforts!

Bah!

 

So you'd rate them on the same scale?

 

Hmm. if anyone would like to rate the two previous entries based purely on subtlety, I'd be obliged

 

Sorry cod not resist! I reelly cod not believe we had declined to pun after so many fish n chip related posts!

Bah!

 

'Pon my sole, there's a plaice for jokes like that!!?

 

Codnor? Dover? Carpdiff? Or Mackerelsfield?

Bah!

 

As I can't find the original 'Beer Drinkers Beware' thread, I'll post it on here.
I see Adams have a 'Samba City' brew for the Olympics, although it's 4.2%, can't say I'm a fan.

 

Perhaps you should lace it with a dark Rumba!

 

Is there anything to it that reminds you of Brazil? Fruity or spicy at all?

 

Yes, it was a bit spicy with a hint of citrus.
