But year, fair point, it's more trying to gnaw the meat of the bone. Chips, I get. But I've never seen anyone eat their fish with just their hands. Fuck it. Clearly I'm posh. Somebody hand me a monocle. Quote

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 12, 2018 Moderators Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) My wife's cousin eats his fish with his hands, but we're Indian and generally do a lot more eating with hands so I don't see it as that much of a stretch (even though I was surprised the first time I saw it). I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but I'm pretty sure he knows he's in the minority! Edited September 12, 2018 by Chest Rockwell Quote
Merzbow Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 There's nowt wrong with a little rip & tear hand action, I'm 100% team Chunk here. Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted September 12, 2018 Paid Members Posted September 12, 2018 All chippy food is designed to be eaten by hand. Quote
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted September 12, 2018 Paid Members Posted September 12, 2018 As long as your grabbing the fish by the batter, sounds grand. If you're tearing at the actual greasy flesh with your mits however, then that falls into 'weird eating' for me. Quote
Mr_Danger Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 It's not no more unusual than trying to eat with one of those shitty wooden forks/tridents/tworks. Chippy by me started doing a fish supper bap so that'll be getting a try this weekend. Quote

This is exactly why the batter should be crispy across the entire fish, if it's soggy and makes it difficult to eat by hand then it's simply shite. Quote

It's vastly different. I'm not getting my filthy hands all over a squidgy fish (steady there, lads). Batter is dry and firm, perfect for holding. Would you scoop out and eat the innards of a pasty with you hands? Edited September 12, 2018 by Accident Prone Quote

Paid Members Chunk Posted September 12, 2018 Paid Members Posted September 12, 2018 It was looking a bit dicey there for a minute. Thought I might have to avoid eye contact and slip away slowly backwards out of the room. Fortunately a few of you have validated my approach. ?. It probably comes from eating fish and chips from the paper whilst not at home. Unless you're sitting down at a table in the chippy (also weird) you have no choice but to use either your hands or one of those wooden forks. I'm also firmly in the camp of eating them from the paper even when at home. The idea of tipping the fish and chips out of the paper onto a plate is absolutely abhorrent. Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted September 12, 2018 Paid Members Posted September 12, 2018 This place has such a love of the fork that it surprises me that we haven't evolved a fork instead of a little finger. It really surprises me how many of you abandon the fork in the face of fried food. We will discover that some of you are the kind of weirdos who balance a fried egg on your knife and suck it in all in one go next. Quote
