Down here in Oz we have pretty mean fish and chips as well. I have been told by several people in the know that the best chips are those which are double fried. We also have potato cakes, which when done right, have a crispy battered outside and a fluffy potato centre. The only fish I had, when I was in England last, was cod, but down here there is a multitude of species and every fish and chip shop has at least a dozen to choose from.

The best fish and chips I can remember, is when as a youngster, you would get them wrapped in newspaper (illegal these days) and go down the beach and share them with the seagulls
