Large battered Cod and mushy peas.

I had a wonderful battered cod and chips at the Blist Victorian Village in Telford recently, all cooked in beef dripping the traditional way. Scrumptious.
I think the fat cooked in can make a huge difference.
We have been firm believers that deep frying should be done with beef dripping.

Out local butcher has beef dripping on sale that they have rendered down at a reasonable price.

 

Maybe you should have had the mushy pees!!
 
A lot depends on where you get the mushy peas from. Chip shops buy them in, and they often have sugar added, and in some chip shops they are a lurid green so goodness knows what is added to those. We make our own from dried marrowfat peas just like grandma did, nothing added except water.
 
Home made mushy peas, now that sounds interesting.
