I'm still trying to find the perfect fish and chips recipe. I've got a great one for shepherd's pie (which will be Friday night's dinner) and for some other traditional pub food, but not fish and chips.
Weird meats you wish to sample... Page 8
You want to use soda water in the batter luv!

I haven't managed to replicate the taste of chips from a chip shop yet, unless you count wrapping it in paper to get that weird steamed effect (works quite well).
But fish should be easy? I can't think of anything particularly special about it? Unless you're thinking of "posh fish n chips" 
Which normally consists just of beefcut chips 
Yes seriously. It makes the batter light and crispy like the chip-shop.

Yeah, cooking the fish is easy. It's just getting the batter right. And the chips are no problem at all. I've been making those for years.
We all know you have to twice fry the chips right?
At two different temperatures...Once to get it fluffy...And twice to get it crisp?

I read somewhere that a bloke said he used soda water in order to get a lighter sentence for battering his wife.

Got the proper vinegar?
Onion Juice straight from the place where your partner stinks.

Even before the vinegar they have a unique chip-shop taste though.
