Shore Meal

Fish and chips began as a cheap, working-class take-away food. Just think of that episode of 'You Rang, M'Lord?', in which Lord Meldrum invites his factory workers to a dinner of fish 'n' chips, in an attempt to please them and make them feel comfortable. It has come a long way since then. Today, no seaside walk is complete without having some fish and chips, not even in the Netherlands. The fish on the menu of Vispaleis in Hoek van Holland is very local, they use lemon sole instead of the staple fish of British chippies, cod.
