Cod is traditional but what do those limeys know? I love haddock.

Jesus you guys... Halibut! Or Mahi... Or Ahi... Or Ono...
Cod and Haddock are what you get when you have no choice. Might as well eat chicken.

Love fish and chips. It's no where near as popular here in Canada as in the UK of course, though it's even less popular in the US (not that it isn't easy to find in the US, it is). Yeah we call them fish and chips and call chips fries when sold separately.

Ahi is red meat and usually served as sushi or poke... but it works well deep fried too.
You were probably eating mahi mahi... Possibly Wahoo though. Whatever... It's all good here. 😉

Interesting! OK fair enough. I love fish and chips. In the UK there's a good three or four fish and chip shops in most towns, mine has 4 (that I can think of :hmm)
On a side note. We do call chips fries sometimes (at least some of us do).
Chips:
Big, thick, soft potatoey things.
Fries:
Thin often crunchy things sold at McDonalds primarily.

They're all fries here. The big thick ones you mentioned are by far the best type especially is fried in fresh oil using good potatoes and salted to perfection. What condiments are popular in the UK with chips? Here in Canada and the US a lot of people put ketchup on them, though many don't as well. Other popular condiments would be vinegar, Cayenne pepper powder, mustard sometimes, cheese occasionally, chilli, sour cream and chives, and more. Mayo is good too though I understand that's a European thing? Of course good fries are also very good just by themselves.

In the US, Chips are only referred to as "Chips" when you're buying fish and chips. With any other meal they are usually referred to as "Steak Fries".

When it comes to fish and chips, in most chip shops you will have the options between salt, vinegar ketchup, mustard and burger sauce (a combination of ketchup and mayonnaise)
For most people fish and chips are with salt and / or vinegar, maybe ketchup, but not usually in my experience.

Don't come into the thread and start being a moron, telling me I'm wrong and you're right, we are talking about the differences in language and food between our nationalities, no one is wrong, no one is right, we are different. Move on.

Because those large fries are often served with steaks. You call them chips in NZ I'm assuming?

Well they are literally the exact same thing just a different style.
HAL9000
Lifer
It is that different style that gives them a different name in the UK, while they are both chips one is more of a fry than the other in the UK.
Roast potatoes and hash browns are the same thing, but in a different style
