Going on a limb here but I going to guess that Warspite found Hosho and Mamiya's fish and chips not like the English version.

One does not simply appease Warspite's tongue it seems.

It's good. It's just not fish and chips.

Sometimes is refreshing to eat the same type of food made with other culture. Fish and Chips is probably the best example of that.

She needs to be absolutely sure of the taste.

Saw another scanlation of this, and Warspite was apparently talking about how Downtown London Fish & Chips is horrendous, while finding Hoshou and Mamiya's fish and chips great. I'm guessing Houshou and Mamiya used a batter and cooking style more similar to tempura or tonkatsu for their fish & chips.

... damnit now I'm hungry. Only ever had fish & chips during the times I was in Australia.

The way the batter is drawn seems to indicate that.

Speaking of the way things are drawn, those chips in that basket... are those what Americans call chips (the flat crispy ones), or are they what the English call chips (the wedge/thick beam cuts)?

they look to be chip chips, as the snack, as opposed to Fry chips.

Panko breading?

what the hell, the mamiya and houshou bubbles at the end are so cute

i'm irrationally upset

It's almost as though the shit you get out of a cart from a street vendor that's been boiling in lard half the day until everything remotely like moisture has been completely annihilated isn't up to the same standard of quality that a real professional chef can produce.

And usually miles from the sea too (especially in places like London), so it's likely been sitting around in conditions that case some decay (being dead and hauled about in freezer lorries) even before being battered and fried.

The best fish and chips are usually found in a proper fish and chip shop in a seaside town, generally with it's own fishing harbour (so they're basically taking it as soon as it's landed each day).
