If you live anywhere in the world that’s not London, you have yet to enjoy the true authentic beauty of fish and chips. That may sound hyperbolic, but there’s definitely a solid amount of truth to it. If you’re someone who loves fish and chips but you’ve never been to London, we have a tremendous amount of jealousy towards you—because you still get to experience trying this dish for the first time, in the city that it was intended to be tried. Here’s why London is the ultimate place to try fish and chips.
It’s Part of the Culture
So much about food is the culture that it was born in. You may have heard about pub culture in London, and let’s just say that fish and chips as a dish goes hand in hand with it. It’s simple enough to imagine: you’re in a London sports pub, there are soccer hooligans screaming at the TV because of a goal, there are beers flowing everywhere you look, and best of all—people munching on fish and chips. It’s all part of the experience.
They Know How To Make It Best
Beyond the cultural aspect of it all, Londoners truly know how to make fish and chips better than most. The crispiness and the richness of the exterior, the juiciness and flavor of the interior, it’s all there. It simply works, and you need only to taste it to know it your heart that London is the only place to try this dish.
