Missing fish and chips in Nuremberg

(Click to enlarge, as always)

This is the solution if you are British and missing Alaskan pollock with rémoulade and German chips. No sign of malt vinegar or wally.

Alternatively, you could try to change your tastes.

I'm not British, but I still miss fish and chips. Nordsee is not an alternative at all. I don't know if Potato cakes are available in GB but I miss those even more than the fish. I lived in Australia for a while almost 21 years ago now. I'm still "homesick", not just for the food.

Now you're talking. But still no proper batter! And what is meant by 'fish'? In Cranham we get to choose. Skate, haddock, cod etc. I bet your Andrew has the Seelachs again.

I'll have to see what sort of fish "Andrew" is using, and also whether any of the fish is battered. Funny thing is, although this place in WI seems to want to give the impression that it's Scottish, where I come from we call fish and chips a "fish supper". And certainly in Fife, haddock is also the main fish now (cod is simply too expensive nowadays). Incidentally, we saw smoked haddock the other day at Real, but it looked distinctly past it (and over-smoked). How on earth are we supposed to make Omelette Arnold Bennett here? (sigh)

Had to google "wally". Shocking. The remoulade is of course even more shocking.

Actually, wallies are not essential, but I seem to have touched on them before:

Some people insist on mushy peas, but I suspect that when I was younger that had not spread to London yet.

and here was I wondering why you need false teeth to eat a fish supper!

Ah, wally dugs - new to me. But certainly better than nothing.

Nowt wrong with Nordsee, though a British pub a mile away in Vienna serves twice the portion of fish & chips for the same €/Euro price.

The Scottish references brought back happy memories of haggis & chips (no fried mars bars, thanks), plus whisk(e)y, in an Edinburgh fish & chip shop - a Gaelic culinary triumph during an ITI = Institute of Translation & Interpreting Conference in the 1990s where Robin B. and business partner spoke so eloquently.
