O'Grady says that fish and chips Fridays were a thing at Buckingham Palace, and something everyone looked forward to. He would cook them in a more traditional style for the palace staff (shared in another YouTube video), but the royal family had theirs prepared to suit the queen's own particular taste.
For starters, Queen Elizabeth II is not a fan of batter — O'Grady says she finds it "a little bit too much," and prefers a coating that's "more refined," i.e. a panko crumb crust seasoned with a little salt and pepper. The fish (she favors cod) is actually oven-cooked, although the chips are deep-fried. Maris Pipers are the preferred potatoes, and each chip must be cut into a perfect rectangle. Once the chips are done, they can't just be dumped on the plate, either — instead, they must be piled in a neat little tower. Both fish and chips are accompanied by a tarragon hollandaise instead of plebeian old tartar sauce, and the plate is garnished with a pansy.
Ooh, fancy, fancy! Maybe Long John Silver's should consider offering a similar presentation (and who knows, doing so earlier might have even saved Arthur Treacher's). After all, if we can get latte art at the corner coffee shop, are flower-bedecked, symmetrical chip towers such an unreasonable demand?
