Aussies and Kiwis have got fish and chips/fush and chups absolutely nailed.

Best I ever had was Paihia in the bay of islands.

My big issue with takeaway f and c is that as soon as you wrap it in paper, you ruin some of the crispness of the batter/spuds. For me, it needs to be served on a plate. Big cup of tea. Mushy peas. White bread and butter. If you’re in the U.K., nowhere does it better than Yorkshire.

I was absolutely baffled when I moved to the uk from nz and found the majority of the f&c shops pre-cook and the chips just sit getting soggy in a warmer. Enjoyed the cod though.
Melbourne, while generally being a superior aussie town, has absolutely crap f&cs. Just terrible fish down there.

To an extent fish and chips chips are supposed to be a touch soggy but I totally agree with the sentiment. Chippy chips are unusual in global chip terms and lots of chip shops don't take enough care with them.
