There is nothing more British than a good old hearty meal of traditional-style fish and chips. I hope many of you would agree with me, lol. Chances are there's one not too far away from you if you happen to live in the London area. Freshly cooked, piping hot fish and chips, with a sprinkling of salt and vinegar sauce, on a cold winter night. Nothing much beats that, haha!
In a word, Fish and Chips is consider a national dish here in the UK and most people love it. According to a research study back in 1999, its inhabitants consumed nearly 300 million servings of fish and chips, equating to six servings for every man, woman and child in the country! That sounds incredible, right?
If you are not familiar with this dish, it is essentially a deep-fried crispy batter wrapped around a fish (normally either a cod, pollock or haddock). And it comes with hand cut chips, not your regular french fries.
Today was just one of those days that I was really craved some of this delicious food. So 
Mr Fish is located in the heart of Queens Park, right opposite of Queen’s Park tube station. The restaurant has been well established for over 20 years as
The venue itself is spotless and very well maintained. The words "clean" and "inviting" spring to mind. This isn’t a place where you would choose for a fine dining experience but then again that's not what Fish & Chips establishment were made for. Jaya, our lovely waitress, gave us a warm welcoming and provided us with menus. I cannot recall a time when there wasn't a warm smile on her face. How sweet!
Mr Fish offers a delightful menu including the standard fish and chips option. All the fish comes traditionally cooked in batter, but also can be fried as a "Matzo" meal or in breadcrumbs as an alternative. In addition, they serve juicy burgers, chicken scampi and salads, etc.
We opted for the "signature" cod fish and chips (UK's most popular choice). The fish was really fresh and cooked to perfection with just the right amount of batter, perfectly flaky and crisp. Just tiny bite melts in your mouth! Though the most important part is that it comes without any excess grease! I've been to places where the food is literally soaked with dripping fat, but thankfully not here. And finally, the dish goes amazingly well with either vinegar or tartar sauce.
The chips were excellent. Crispy, golden and utterly delicious!
Deep Fried Calamari Rings is another side I simply love here. The way they cooked it provides the perfect "crunch" outside while keeping the squid flavour nicely tucked inside. Again, crisp to the bite and seriously delicious!
Feeling particularly hungry, we also ordered the "Battered Sausage". Another staple favourite of the British people. Essentially it is a rather large sausage smothered in batter and usually served on it's own. All in all, a great afternoon much that the whole family can enjoy on a Sunday afternoon, lol.
As a quick side note, Mr Fish also provides a convenient take away section on the other side of the front entrance.
I found both the food and service to be of excellent quality. As always, we came away feeling very full and satisfied. Mr Fish is probably my favourite "chippy" (local slang, lol) in London. If you are ever in around this side of town, I would highly recommend Mr Fish for enjoying some authentic, classical tasting British fish and chips!
说起英国饮食，大家可能马上就想到炸鱼薯条吧！如果你住在伦敦的话，基本上每一条街上都会有这么一家特色鱼薯店。在寒冷的冬季夜晚，手捧一大包热腾腾的薯条和炸鱼，撒点盐蘸上醋，边吃边走，好幸福哦，呵呵！
如此闻名的炸鱼薯条在整个英国可算是深受大众欢迎哦。据1999年的一项调查研究，英国居民消费了近3亿份炸鱼薯条，相当于全国人民每人吃六份，其中包括男人， 女人和小孩！听起来很不可思议吧？
这道赫赫有名的菜式其实就是鱼块用面粉包着油炸而成，通常使用的是鳕鱼或黑线鳕。鱼块去刺，内软外脆的搭配，相得益彰！薯条呢， 也不是我们通常吃的法式炸薯条，而是薯块，切得粗而宽。
今天我特别想吃这道美味的“国菜”，所以我和先生
“鱼先生”位于Queen’s Park地铁站对面，非常方便的地理位置。这家餐馆在伦敦西北区开了有将近20多年了，
虽然“鱼先生”不是高级餐厅，但它非常干净整洁，给人很舒适的感觉，在这里吃炸鱼薯条就最适合不过了。刚进店里，可爱的侍应生Jaya就热情地迎了上来，满面笑容地为我们送上了菜单。
餐馆主打当然是炸鱼薯条咯，但菜单上也有其他美味的汉堡包，海鲜和鸡肉萨拉等。我们选了这里最受欢迎的炸鳕鱼和薯条。他们家做的炸鱼还真有一手，外皮酥脆又不油腻。由于鱼非常新鲜，你能完全吃出鱼肉的鲜嫩。炸出来的薯条也同样香酥，口感比冰冻做出来的好吃多了。
吃炸鱼薯条，最经典的配搭是盐醋，盐撒在薯条上，醋用来配炸鱼。不过我也挺喜欢用塔塔酱配搭炸鱼，酸爽的味道，浓厚的口感，很满足的感觉，呵呵！
酥炸鱿鱼圈是另一道我喜欢的小吃。它外皮非常香酥，里面的鱿鱼鲜嫩，非常好吃，简直逗停不了口哦！配上他们家特配的甜辣椒蛋黄酱，味道一级棒！
我们还点了酥炸香肠，也算是英国人热衷的小吃。其实就是大条的猪肉肠蘸上面糊油炸而成，也很美味！
这家餐馆的侧门其实是专做外卖的，方便有需要的客人可以买了走着吃，呵呵。
“鱼先生”餐馆无论是食物还是服务都是一流的，我们每次都吃得撑不下才满足地离开。它是我在伦敦吃过的最好的鱼薯店！如果你有机会来英国的话，必须品尝一下这里地道的炸鱼薯条，说不定你也会因此深深爱上这英国人的“国菜”哦！
