Why don't Americans eat fish & chips?

Texas here I love fish and chips. My favorite restaurant of all time is the kings head in santa monica, CA.

>>7311779
They actually sell it there? Gonna need picture proof.

I can't speak for the entire country, but here in Arkansas a plate of catfish and fries is popular.

Fish and "chips" are sold everywhere and are commonly eaten. We just don't go on and on about it because it's just not that impressive.

Honestly the best things at chippies are the saveloys and the roe, the actual fish and chips are fucking dismal 90% of the time.

Oi oi saveloy!

>>7311837

>>7311837
Ok this is somewhat decent Shame about the portion size though
>>7311833
Dunno just never seen it until today. Your attempts at fish & chips border on cute and sometimes horrifying. Fish & chips isn't just fish & chips, you need to use certain fishes in certain cuts, you need to batter it and fry it in a certain way and you absolutely must not use those tiny French style chips that you enjoy so much with your burgers.

Saveloys are underrated.

>>7311887
Every time I've thought "I could have a Saveloy" I've had the opportunity to have a battered sausage instead, which is why I've never had a Saveloy.

>>7311825

This coming from the country that drowns the chips in vinegar until they look like they were digested by a geriatric?

We've had this thread before. Many times. There's fish and chip places everywhere.
Pic related, this is from my favorite fish a chip place, just a few blocks from my house.

>>7312278
Oh, and it's called Anchor Fish and Chips.
There's tons of fish and chip shops in NorCal.

Worked at a chippy in Canada during uni. Some people who work at restaurants dont eat the food because they get sick of it. I ate that glorious haddock and chips as often as I could. I will be hopelessly addicted for the rest of my days.

Went to Scotland and fish and chips were alright, but nothing special.

>>7311773
We so. The better ones are closer to the coast for obvious reasons. Your little fucking island is smaller than 11 of our states. Not everything is going to be coastal.

I've had some good fish and chips at restaurants on the coast that know where they're doing but honestly after I visited London the UK's shits on ours and what's offered here in the heartland is a joke, they just don't know how to do it right.

We have them. It's pretty good but most of us would rather eat other stuff. Pic is my favorite, I eat fish and chips twice a year.

>>7311773
The ones that live near the coasts do.

it's pretty cute how brits think fish and chips is some kind of proprietary dish when literally every seafaring culture has battered fried fish.
it's just such a simple basic food that nobody pays much attention to it. and unfortunately for the brits its the best they have.

kinda funny actually, garbage tier fast food for babies and drunks in other countries is considered the pride of a nation over there

Its called fish and fries. Chips come in a bag, like doritos or kettle. Now, you see, this is an image board hosted in the US of A and I would appreciate it if you'd use the correct terminology while you're here.

Back in Mass, I ate fish and chips every Friday night.

If I went back and ate some, I would probably bawl my eyes out, I miss it so much.

>>7311773
The fuck are you talking about? Ever hear of a Friday Fish Fry?

As a fellow American, no one gives a fuck what you want things to be callled. And where I live, we call it fish and chips.

>>7311825
Hey britfag, theres way more coastline in the US than the UK, and our catches are way more diverse than europe because the US has more diverse waters to fish from. Dont think your special for breading and frying a fucking fish.

Why do you serve that shit in newspaper anyways? thats fucking disgusting and you know it.

cheerio queermo.

>deep fried cheap-ass fish fried in dirty oil and served literally in newspaper with a side of french fries
>lauded as the national dish, hailed as the epitome of a nation's entire cuisine

Is Fish and Chips the poutine of the UK?

One thing I noticed when in England was that the fish in fish and chips was usually just one giant slab of fish, rather than the several strips/filets we get here in America. Was pretty good desu

actually this. fish and chips aren't that hard to find in America but we'd rather eat chicken. Murrican here, I like both. A well made fish and chips stands eye to eye with a basket of tendies and fries. but over here the chicken is more popular and usually better made, for the most part. I don't understand why anyone would brag about either. It's tendies and fried whitefish. We got the tendies game, we like fish and chips too but not normally.

Most of our fish served in Michigan isn't deep fried and breaded unless it's fast food or a bar. We do have an entire festival devoted to this bad boy, however. It's a Bayport fish sandwich usually made from perch or freshwater whitefish.

No it doesn't, it's because sausages that have a skin around them "explode" when they cook (put a frankfurter in the microwave to see what i mean.

bangers and mash - sausage and mashed potatoes

They do. . .

>>7311837
Nothing better to wash down fried fish than milk. And it gets better, throw some ice in it. Just wait until the ice melts and you get that refreshing water milk!

We do. Well, Midwesterners do. German Catholics brought the Friday fish fry with them from the old country and it's become a Midwestern custom. It's typically a choice of cornmeal-breaded perch or beer-battered cod. Sides are usually fries (chips), coleslaw, and potato pancakes.

Until recently fish and chip shops in the UK didn't even name what type of fish they were selling.

The fact is that America does fish and chips better than the UK because brits see fish and chips as gutter food.

Around some U.S. ghettos, they call unidentified fish, "Lake Trout."

I don't know why.

I don't know why they would because chips and fries are two different things.

>>7315809
>Until recently fish and chip shops in the UK didn't even name what type of fish they were selling.
Because that went without saying.
If you are in the south it's cod and the north haddock.

>The fact is that America does fish and chips better than the UK because brits see fish and chips as gutter food.
I see, you're just an American shitposting like 80% of the thread. Carry on.

Lies. They state if it's perch, cod, walleye, or whatever. You can even pick which kind of fish you want.

This.
I grew up in the south, and have a long standing hatred for fucking fish fries because of goddamn catfish. Fucking muddy tasting, mean, shit eating bastards. My family used to make me go fishing with them all the time, and catfish are not only bad tasting, but fucking mean, they'll get ahold of you and it hurts. I hate fucking catfish. FUCKING HATE IT. The only southern fish I care about is redfish. Redfish is delicious.
So glad I live on the west coast now. Such better fish.

>>7317585
I dunno, I like catfish in a good thai dish. They cook it extra crispy so you don't get any of that funky mud taste.

No, because it's the fact that they're bottom feeders that give them that muddy flavor. Can't do much about it, besides covering it up with a bunch of seasonings or sauces.

I prefer fish and hush puppies I guess

fish and chips is actually widely served in america but it's known primarily as "a british thing" and it's generally not a very popular menu item. literally everyone can fry up some cod and potatoes though it's not exactly a specialty
