“There’s a lot more to great fish and chips than Joe Public probably imagines,” says Matt Phillips, owner of Shap Chippy in Shap, Cumbria. “The ratio of water to batter, what temperature you fry it at, how long you cook your fish for, the process of cooking the chips. You can go into five shops which use the same batter but they could produce a very different product.”
