Humble in nature and a universal pub staple, fish and chips can be easy to overlook. It’s common for beer to be used in the batter, so we’re off to a good start. After a rousing bath in hot oil, fish and potatoes are seasoned and combined and served wrapped in newspaper or in a basket. Round the dish out with a lemon slice, maybe some tartar sauce. Have a bottle of malt vinegar within reach and it’s the kind of meal that begs for a pint. But what kind? For a simple dish, it has a variety of flavors.
