Maybe a bit of mayo on the side but it's not a must and can live without there being any.

nudge Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Just now, Spike said: as the default accompaniment for fish and chips, i thought so Oh that I wouldn't know, just wondered if it's popular in the UK as it goes well with seafood in general! I generally don't need any sauce with fish or chips (just salt and vinegar), but tartar is the only sauce I wouldn't mind.
Administrator Stan Posted April 2, 2021 Administrator Posted April 2, 2021 8 hours ago, nudge said: Is tartar sauce a thing in the UK or not really? Yep it is and often goes well with fish too Think it's like a softer version of marmite in that you either love it or hate it with the fish and chips.
DeadLinesman Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 10 hours ago, nudge said: Is tartar sauce a thing in the UK or not really? Absolutely, but I’d say for the older generation now. My mum used to love it as did her friends if they were eating at a restaurant. Not so much from a chippie takeaway though. I love get mine with a side of either curry sauce, gravy or mushy peas.
Harry Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 I haven't tried Areas. But fish and chips is special, and I don't see anything coming close.

That piece of Haddock I had yesterday was out of this world and that was only a small portion, I am tempted to have a bigger portion again this afternoon and tell our son to fuck off if he tries stealing my chips.

You can't say 'curry' any more mate. It's 'spicy Indian food' which is allowed. Also, you can't order them from Chinese restaurants any more. It's quite insulting to both regions/cuisines.
Danny Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 I always thought tartar sauce was just a sign of a posh chippy, that and when they give you some lemon

I get lost with all these can't say this can't say that nowadays, shows you how old I am, once upon a time you could make an innocent remark like the latter and think nothing of it, it's a funny old world we live in nowadays...sigh.
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted April 16, 2021 Subscriber Posted April 16, 2021 Our sons treat tonight for a carry-out, I had a big portion of battered Haddock and it was bloody awesome.
Administrator Stan Posted April 16, 2021 Administrator Posted April 16, 2021 You've gone from a few chips to no chips. Missus really has cracked the whip on your diet...

Aye, she sure has, a lot more salads too, but that Haddock coated in batter was heaven and the bloody size of it.
