Chip Shop Favourites at Home

Everything you love about a Friday chippy tea, minus the queue and the soggy paper. Home frying means hotter fat, fresher fish and chips that actually crunch — and you decide how much salt and vinegar goes on. Get the newspaper-on-the-table energy going and eat it straight from the pan.

How we chose these: Recipes here recreate British chip shop counter staples: battered and fried mains, twice-cooked chips, chippy-style sides and sauces. Deep-fried or oven-baked versions both count, provided the result genuinely tastes like the real thing.
