Battered fish are delicacies normally served to accompany [[potato chips|chips]] and [[mushy peas]]. Fish used is primarily [[cod]], but can, in principle be any fish (such as [[hake]], [[haddock]] or [[plaice]]) which is in plentiful supply.
Battered fish would normally be purchased from a local [[Chip shop|Fish and chip shop]] in Britain. Normally the batter is similar to that used to make [[pancake]]s, [[Yorkshire Pudding]]s, [[toad-in-the-hole]] and [[fritter]]s. However, there are many variants on batter recipes, some involving huge amounts of local beer.
