It really is a quite marvelous meal, when all the components are cooked competently and with all obligatory accompaniments (curry sauce, mushy peas), isn't it.
Which is why I haven't bought it in ages, but instead make it myself. Cod loins guarantee the fish will be perfect, as does making one's own beer batter. I've mastered the art of the chip shop chip (the secret is to only fry once at a lowish heat to minimise crispness and then to leave them in a low oven to keep warm whilst anointed with malt vinegar).
