Fish and chips arrived through the British chip shops and settled into a local form here, with thick chips cut soft and the batter poured over the fish rather than the fish dipped. The batter needs ice-cold water and rested flour for a glassy crust, and it is fried twice for the same reason. Salt goes on while the surface is still wet.
