Fish and Chips? How do you eat it?

I dunk the fish in the tartar sauce just like I do the fries in the siracha mayo!

Probably depends on where you are.
Aussies eat fish and chips as takeaway out of paper with fingers.
Only Cutlery if on a plate in a resturant

Yes, that looks like fish and chips that I would eat with my hands.

The fillet is a little larger than many I have had, but not much so.  I would break that in half, and then holding it vertically, pour the malt vinegar down through the fish part so that it works its way down towards the bottom. Then I would, holding it with my hands, eat it from open side down, adding more vinegar as necessary. Then I would eat the other half the same way. 

Everyone in my family eats fish and chips with our hands. And I’m someone (the only one in my family) who prefers to eat pizza with a fork and knife. (the horror)

I like the breaded cod at Red Robin and haven't had it fall apart.  Now I am hungry for it.

I eat fish and chips much like I eat chicken fingers- with my hands.  

I’m in Seattle and use a fork and knife. But, I also like a fork and knife for my pizza.

The only time I eat fish and chips with a fork is when my mother in law makes it and she serves it screaming hot directly from her deep fryer. And there’s always a side of mushy peas. Otherwise always with my hands.

I’d eat the chips with my fingers but never the fish. I like to have mushy peas with mine and you can’t eat them with your fingers!

It is a UK specialty. 😀

What a fascinating thread! I am in Wisconsin - we definitely use utensils. Had no idea we were unusual hahaha!

Upper Midwest (MN)—I was thinking fork, but now that I think about it, its more of a combo if it is a fish and chips basket.  If it comes on a plate, fork (but fried fish on a plate in MN is usually walleye/pan fish which is usually pan fried and not deep fried.)

So, now I think of it:

Batter fried= fork to break up and fingers
Pan fried: fork

Like the fish, it depends where I am ordering it from. In a sit-down restaurant, where it is served on a plate with other side dishes, I use a fork. But oddly enough, I eat fries with my fingers even in a restaurant. Chicken fingers from Raising Cane, or a pub/bar, I use my hands.

This might be the weirdest thread I’ve ever read on 2Peas.

And now I’m sort of wondering if there are people out there who eat ice cream cones with utensils. Or cotton candy.

Ice cream - I don’t do cones
Cotton candy - with my fingers
Bone in fried chicken - knife and fork
Chicken fingers - knife and fork

I don't eat it! Yuck.

DH has used both fingers and forks for fish and chips.
