Lucky Accrington folks, having decent chippies available! While we can occasionally get something that masquerades as fish and chips here in the USA, there are **zero** UK-style chippies. I have had to learn to make my own, which is a lot of mess in the kitchen. My nephews, however, really appreciate the effort!

I can also go to a local Irish pub (not one of those Irish-themed pubs you seem to be getting in the UK) which serves very decent food. They have a "Dublin-style" fish and chips on the menu, which isn't quite the same thing (and only one type of fish), but quite tasty just the same. At least they have the good sense to serve malt vinegar and not tomato catsup. Note: I can hear the AccyWebbers hissing and booing even at this distance, but have pity on those of us without a proper chippy!
