Never heard of special fish or ever seen breadcrumbed fish in a local chippy.
Batter all the way

Battered definitely, I didn't know you could get breaded fish in chip shops, not proper ones anyway!

When you ate your first chip what sort of expression did you make?
I wouldn't go out of my way to have them again, but wouldn't avoid them either. Just nothing special, didn't really taste of much, I guess the batter keeps the oil out of the potato. Was expecting something magical the way some on here have raved over them. |

This, If I'm having Fish Fingers or Scampi, Breaded is preferred, but Proper Fish shop fish, has to be Battered.
