I'm sorry to burst your illusion, but it is perfectly possible to screw up fish and chips. If the batter is wrong, the whole thing will just be soaked with cooking oil. And all too often, the batter will serve to hide sub-standard fish -- bits and pieces rather than one cut, or even cheap and nasty types of fish like tilapia or pangasia. > > Note to tourists: if you see the name "Gaylord," run away! > Note to Don: small chance of that, since I run away quickly when I see the road sign "Nashville".
