I remember the first time I had that dish. I was at the neighbor's home
playing some board game. Maybe it was tiddlywinks. The guy's parents come
home and they brought some new food called "fish and chips" from a place
that just opened in Kailua town. The place was called, pretentiously enough,
"H. Salt Esq." At the time it was exotic food from England which must have
been classy because of the name. The newspaper motif printed on the bag and
wrapper was puzzling to me. I thought it was good eats. Pretty much any food
that wasn't prepared at home was good eats. Thus began my long and fruitful
friendship with fast food.

I can remember the music that we were listening to at the time. My friend's
older sister must have been playing the LP. I really wasn't interested in
music at the time but it must have left an impression on me. It was just
perfect. My introduction to the Stones and F&C, at the same time.

Oh yes) Music can bring back lovely memories Fish and chips was a
regular Friday food when i was a child. I always used to have patty and
chips. The patty was mashed potato with a little fish, mashed, battered and
fried

My family were Catholics and always had fish on Fridays so that was the
easiest option )

I sometimes make it at home. The only time we buy it from the fish shop is
when we are down in Yorkshire

They are the best

The only place around here to get fried fish like you guys is from a place called Hot Dog on a Stick. I like to get the fish with fried zucchini. There's no malt vinegar to be found at the place - just tartar sauce. I know, it's all so very weird!

It's those funny looking things in the plate with the two portions of white tartar sauce. Typically, I'll get it with fried zucchini.

We can get malt vinegar in stores over here. I'm not sure why that is since we don't really have any foods that one would use it on, except for fish and chips but we don't really have fish and chip served here either. It's a real mystery.

Sounds reasonable enough to me. I use it on any fried potatoes though and I
will use it on fish that isn't battered. Not much else though.

But I always have some in

There was a couple of different brands of malt vinegar on the shelves. I'm not sure how it's used on this rock. One of the bottles had the Union Jack on the label and says it's traditional British flavor. It's fairly cheap so I'm guessing that it's diluted and flavored industrial acetic acid. My guess is that the closest this stuff has been to the UK is New Jersey.

My apologies to your country for our blatant appropriation of your good name and culture to sell an inferior product. Looks like I'm gonna have to buy a bottle now...

My wife likes malt vinegar on fries. FWIW, she is half Dutch. Our son,
who is only 1/4 Dutch, likes mayonnaise on them.

On fish yes, but on chips? Lemon juice on chips? That should be
against the constitution. Not that I've ever had malt vinegar on
chips. That's an English thing.
