Fish and Chips

Today, I decided to have one of England's trademark meals, fish and chips.  It is exactly what is sound like: deep fried fish (usually cod or haddock) served with fries.  In England, they sprinkle salt and vinegar over the chips, which I found a little different.  The seasoning is rather plain, but hey, that's what traditional British food is like!  It is usually a fairly inexpensive meal, even though you often times get a whole filet of fish!  I was fortunate enough to have a good fish and chips shop nearby that offers several kinds of fish; my favorite types of fish so far for fish and chips have been plaice, a type of flat fish, and cod.  Nobody tells you that you will feel like crap after eating it though...
