Good effort by Robe Seafood and Takeaway. Crispy and light batter, excellent chips. Just the thing on a long, solo road trip.

    The Aussies are the only others that understand fish n chips. That looks fucking superb

    Usually accompanied by Irn Bru or Vimto, rather than overpriced fruit water though, but I’ll let you off 😂

      Chip game looks weak, can’t see that yellow sheen of chicken salt.

        I’ve tried and failed to find chicken salt in Europe and I’m starting to think it’s either not as good as yous say, or it’s banned 😅

          Chicken salt is delicious but not traditionally on fish and chips.

          I’d say the chips look a little dry though. Like oven chips but I could be wrong.

            What? It’s the only place it’s used.

            There’s nothing more traditional than chicken salt on your fish n chips chips.

          I had to look up what chicken salt is and despite what it says on Wikipedia, I’ve never seen it in the UK. However, it seems very similar to something I had in Iceland called “Kartöflukrydd”, which translates roughly as “potato spice” and can be found under a similar name through Scandinavia at least.

          MSG based seasonings are definitely not banned though. Maggi is very popular in central Europe and I think that is literally just MSG and salt.

      I lived in the UK for 10 years and am married to a Scot, so I understand the similarities and differences!

      Fun fact: There’s two places in the world where Coca Cola is not the leading drink.

      Irn Bru outsells Coke in Scotland, and Iced Coffee outsells Coke in South Australia.
