The Real Thing
An outfit called London Fish and Chips opened recently at Ibn Battuta Mall, and this lunchtime I got around to test-driving it.
It's exactly the same as an English fish and chip shop, except in England
1) The chips are chips made from potatoes, not French Fries made from who knows what
2) The batter can be detached from the fish - it is not welded on by some mysterious culinary process
3) There is the possibility of augmenting your meal by the addition of mushy peas and maybe a deep-fried Mars Bar to follow.
A valiant effort which can only be enhanced if the operators actually visit a real fish and chip shop in the UK, or even The Chippy on Sheikh Zayed Road.
