I make my own at home. If it helps this is what I use for my batter:

400g plain flour, put in the freezer for 15 minutes before using
3tsp baking powder
550ml very cold fizzy water (you can use beer but we don't like it).
4 pieces of cod (or your favourite white fish)

I always dust the fish first in a little flour; it helps the batter to
stick.

You really should! If you do go, get your fish and chips at a little cafe
opposite the Co-op and car park. I expect the others are as good but that
for me is the best

True Nor I (I've been using it for too long) but that is what
the recipe is. Try it with beer, it seems to be very popular, but it makes
it too strong for us. Oh yes and add a bit of salt too. I cook mine in
light oil at about 175c for between 5 and 10 mins depending on the thickness
of the fish. Experiment to see how you like it best.

Report back if you get around to it.

I shall report back to you. BTW, I did have some fish tonight. No chips though. Oddly enough, it was at a place called "Hot Dog on a Stick." They serve a great English-style fried fish. I could have ordered French fries with that but instead, I had the fish with a most unexpected thing - fried zucchini. Normally, I would never order zucchini over potatoes but a large spear of battered and fried zucchini is a most wonderful thing.

This is served with a generous portion of tartar sauce and ranch dressing. Unfortunately, there was no malt vinegar anywhere to be seen. Beats me why not. They probably don't realize they're serving great fish in the English style or maybe they don't want to go down that road. The place is unique in that they specialize in real lemonade made from fresh lemons. This makes a good foil for the fried food.

Normally I don't ever go to Hot Dog on a Stick because they make those poor young women wear uniforms that have to be the most degrading fast food uniforms ever and, let's face it, chances are slim that one is not going to feel a little sick after having a platter consisting entirely of fried food. OTOH, I'm just darned pleased that I went there.

Jolly good) btw if I were you, I would try the malt vinegar on chips
first before using it on the fish. Myself I put loads on the fish, chips
and mushy peas as well, but then I grew up with it)

Let me know if you get there Nice to walk over the bridge into the old
town too

I usually make my own when I am at home, because I was finding from fish
shops, the batter wasn't cooked properly and there was a thin line of raw
batter on the inside next to the fish ... ( yeuch!

What is your recipe for "mushy peas?" My daughter loved my mom's
"mushy peas" but they were just canned peas cooked to death. Is your
version different?

I haven't bought canned peas since I can't remember when... I prefer
frozen peas, and I rarely heat them let alone cook them... I like
frozen green peas marinated with beans or just defrosted in a tossed
salad. I used to grow green peas but they are too much work to pick
and hull, instead I grow sugar snap peas, no hulling, eat them hull
and all, no cooking either. To me mushy peas means dried pea suop...
now I'm reminded that I have two 1 qt containers in the freezer from
last winter... should defrost one for tomorrow's lunch, will go well
with an SLT on rye.

And here's some translation (for those of us who have no idea what marrowfat
peas are), courtesy of Wikipedia.

Marrowfat peas are green mature peas that have been allowed to dry out naturally in the field, rather than be harvested whilst still young like the normal garden pea. They are used to make mushy peas and also the snack food wasabi peas.

Marrowfat is a traditional, starchy, large-seeded variety of pea
(Pisum sativum var. medullare.) The word was coined around 1730 from marrow + fat.

....[i]mmature peas (and in snow peas the tender pod as well) are used as a vegetable, fresh, frozen or canned.

Thank you for that I couldn't have provided that explanation) We can
buy marrowfat peas dried, or the easiest for mushy peas is just canned

Never mind the flip-flopping on his stance on immigration or whether
he's hoping his family and their supporters will be doing their part to
give Americans a big heaping helping of revisionist history when it
comes to his brother's time in office, as Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio
and guest Sam Seder reminded their listeners this week, there is a whole
host of other issues that the public should know about if Jeb Bush does
actually throw his hat into the ring and runs for president in 2016.

As Pap noted, it's time to stop this campaign before it starts, because
we sure as hell can't count on our "mainstream media" to do their part
and tell their viewers that Jeb Bush has every bit as much baggage as
his brother.

It seems Florida's current Gov. Rick Scott isn't the only one with
problems involving Medicare fraud: Jeb Bush Lobbied On Behalf Of
Infamous Medicare Swindler, Says Former HHS Secretary.

He was right there with the rest of the PNAC neocons who brought us the
invasion of Iraq.

Jeb Bush Wants Us to Forget His Election Fraud that Stole the White
House for George |via Occupy Democrats


As Jeb Bush prepares for his imminent presidential campaign, the
American people must keep in mind just who this man is and the crimes he
committed rigging the 2000 presidential election, which put his brother
George W. in the Oval Office, set us on the road to the Iraq War, the
Great Recession, destroyed America’s standing in the world, altered
American history forever.



Jeb Bush just so happened to be the Governor of Florida during that
election, and as you may recall, the Florida vote was so close that
recounts were requested and eventually declared his brother the winner.
Katherine Harris, Jeb’s secretary of state and the co-chair of the
George W. campaign, organized the election system that somehow ended up
losing or spoiling the ballots of hundreds of thousands of
African-American voters, who just so coincidentally tend to vote
Democratic. During the recount period, it is documented that the
Governor’s office made 95 calls to the Bush campaign- calls which Jeb
somehow “cannot remember” the reason for. That answer is unacceptable
for allegations of such importance. Why can’t you remember, Jeb?


For once the whole story comes together, the evidence is hard to ignore.
Vanity Fair reported that “Information came pouring in faster than
anyone could digest it—about polling places that had been understaffed,
about voters who had been sent on wild-goose chases to find their
polling places, about blacks barred from voting, and about police
roadblocks to keep people from the polls.” Commissioner Victoria Wilson
of the US Commission on Civil Rights concluded that “There emerges a
confluence of circumstances that indicates intimidation and harassment
of the Florida voters, and that was set in motion long before the
November election.”
State apparatus, officials, and employees were all mobilized in order to
perpetrate this fraud, and there are only two conclusions– the first
that Jeb Bush and the machinations of Karl Rove organized and
perpetrated the most egregious voter fraud in American history, or that
he was such an incompetent leader that he failed to notice what was
happening right under his nose. Either way, it is criminal subversion of
the democratic principles which we hold dear, and the fact that him and
his whole team got away with it is appalling.



All this was fifteen years ago, and now Jeb is eyeing the throne for his
own self. We should remember just what kind of a man he is, and what he
is responsible for. The man who in 1994 openly admitted he would do
“probably nothing” for the African-American community in Florida, and
then systematically disenfranchised the voting rights of hundreds of
thousands of his own constituents. The man who aided and abetted the
biggest election steal in history, setting us up for a catastrophic
invasion of Iraq and the groundwork for the Great Recession. During this
election, the media should take him to task for just what those phone
calls were about. “I don’t remember” just doesn’t cut it, and America
deserves answers.

They must have put a committee together to come up with a name so
unappealing. I was eating wasabi peas yesterday and pondering how they
got the peas so big.

Speaking of condiments, bought some chicken the other day to take back
to the office because chicken is the only thing the guy that watches the
office when I'm not there will eat and I feel the need to feed him
because I just pay him peanuts. Well, more like peanut shells anyway -
hee hee.

Anyway, it came with biscuits so I asked the girl it I could have some
honey for the biscuits. She got a weird blank look on her face and
proceeded to reach under the counter and grabbed a big handful of
packets and put it in a bag. I thought that was an awful lot of honey
for 4 biscuits but then she proceeded to reach under there again to grab
another big handful of packets and put them in the bag. I thought that
was a rather odd thing to do. She kept on grabbing more stuff under the
counter 2 more times. I left carrying a bag full of strawberry and grape
jelly, honey, and ketchup. What - ketchup on a biscuit? She must have
thought I was Donald Trump!

I don't know about the wasabi peas you get but the wasabi peas I have
seen around here are the duller, larger kind more typical of fresh peas
than the small bright green peas that come frozen.

I want to try making mushy peas. We had something similar in a German
restaurant and I loved them. My wife is a low carber and not a big fan
of peas.


Too bad for her eh ;-)

The ones I get I believe are from Thailand which is know neither for
wasabi or peas. OTOH, the "wasabi" that these peas are coated with is
mustard. Hee hee.

I tried wasabi peas once. Didn't like them, but I don't like corn
nuts either.

I'm not a big fan either, for one thing I don't like peas. OTOH, I like
Snapea Crisps, them is tasty!

I think I tried them - there are other things I like better, but I
didn't hate them.

I love the plain Corn Nuts and plain Soy Nuts and plain dried peas. Doubt
that I would like Wasabi anything.

Urk. Most people seem to like them but they are really a puffed rice snack.
There is just something about that texture that I do not like.
