That fish is so meaty it looks like chicken. And look at all those sauces. I would be excited to try this plate of food!

Yo i was thinking the same thing man. That fish looks crispy!

NGL, that fish looks damn tasty, but the plating is crowded AF and undressed & uncut frisee isn't slaw. Overall, it seems like someone who knows how to make some killer fried fish turned on a random cooking show once or twice for inspiration and figured that was enough of a glow-up. 😶

Pretty sure that’s a restaurant and OP took a photo of it before moving the sauces and fries off their plate

The fish look’s amazing, the chips look meh. Not bad, but not great. The green stuff…. Is naked, which makes me wonder if it’s a garnish and not meant to be eaten.

The sauces… ketchup, tartar… what are the other two?the bowls are clunky; and as deep as they are not great for dipping.

But the fish looks amazing! I can forgive sloppy plating, and I’m not really gonna be miffed over garnish. The sauce cups…. I mostly feel for the dishwasher.

One is probably malt vinegar.

I'm not sure what your comment was trying to clarify, as it would be somewhat more forgivable if this dish were the product of an amateur trying new things, but it's clearly at a restaurant and presumably OP paid for this entree. So, therefore, no one from menu creation to order execution had a sufficiently critical comment on this half-assed jumble of ideas crowding a seemingly well-crafted pair of fried fish portions.

To sum up: the fries should be arranged for height in the center of the plate, with the lemon wedges on the flat outer plane of it ~11 or 2 o'clock (the sauces taking the other position, regardless) and the slaw could be nestled between them and the bottom edge of the fries. This way, not only do the side (slaw), garnish (lemons), and sauces not crowd the plate or the guest's access to the meal, but the fish can be proudly presented as the real gem of the dish.

Oh wait is this another one of those misleading photos, we're actually looking at cocker spaniel puppies surrounded by condiments & gourmet french fries

[-] livus@kbin.social 3 points 3 months ago

Is that fish crumbed instead of battered?

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

It's likely both: battered first and then crumbed, to more resemble a fried chicken process.
