Yay, #Mattila Farm in #Nurmijärvi are bringing back their #fishNChips! One of the best in #Finland (second only to Belge). If they’ve kept to their previous recipe the fish and batter is crisp and fresh, none of that breadcrumb nonsense you frequently see here. They have mushy peas. They had least occasionally had malt vinegar. The chips are not real chips, but still pretty decent and nicely salted.
It’s at a farmhouse in the countryside, surrounded by strawberry fields. Also artisan pizzas.

Been there now twice and I can confirm that in #Helsinki #Belge has the best #fishnchips.
* Beer battered fish (with crispy fresh batter)
* Mushy peas
* Malt vinegar
* The real kicker: actual chips! Impossible to get anywhere else. Not the thin French fry thing, or even the slightly thicker farmhouse fries. But real chips.
It’s pricey, but I’ve tested almost 20 places in #Finland, this is the best. (#MattilaFarm used to be OK but they stopped doing them and chips were wrong).
Huh! Bsky supports punctuation and accents in hashtags. #Fish'n'Chips #Fish&Chips #Ŕöméø&Jülíèt #e=mc^2 The team here are giving it #110%

Auch diese Reise nähert sich dem Ende, leider….
Ich will da gar nicht so viel schreiben, Frühstück, zusammen packen und Auto beladen. Das alles mit Sehnsucht im Herzen, weil es wirklich zu Ende ist.
Bevor das aber alles passiert, erst mal allein an den Strand, während die weiblichne Reisebegleiter noch im Zelt liegen und pennen.
Die Rückreise lief dann wieder über die A1 nach Süden, wobei wir in Berwick upon Tweed noch mal im Supermarkt, Super Wichtige Lebensmittel eingekauft haben…
Und dann, bleibt nur noch heulen übrig….

Was gibt es an der Überschrift eigentlich noch, was man erklären müsste?
Das Wetter scheint zu halten und so kann man sich ja schon mal früh, mit einer Tasse Tee in der Hand, an den Strand begeben….
Für heute ist Dunbar angesagt, ein wenig durch die Stadt, ein paar EInkäufe machen, Tanken und…?
Das letzte mal Fish & Chips in diesem Urlaub. Und so viel haben wir echt nicht gegessen davon, es ist selbst für Urlaub und wo man bereit ist mal mehr auszugeben, echt scheiße teuer geworden. Aber trotzdem noch sau lecker.
Was wir dann erlebten, könnt ihr nur im Podcast hören und ist wieder so eine Geschichte, die es wohl nur in UK gibt. Danke das die Briten so sind, wie sie sind, auch wenn sie sich beim Brexit haben verarschen lassen.
Dieser Stein hier ist aus dem berühmten Dunbar Marble und die findet man hier in der Region recht häufig. Fossile Muscheln, eingeschlossen in Gestein.
Den Rest hört ihr im Podcast.

Bowpicker Fish & Chips in Astoria, OR has the best beer-battered Albacore tuna. The best.
“Firm chunks of Albacore tuna lightly beer battered and fried to perfection by Ron and Linda, they stand ready to soak up malt vinegar and scoop tartar sauce. The bed of thick steak fries, crunchy outside and tender inside, are much more than a side dish.”
The #WindmillHillMarket may be finished for the day but we're still open on #WindmillHillCityFarm for the next few hours, with #TheFishTruckFarrows joining us later this afternoon for your Saturday tea.

It's #WindmillHillMarket this Saturday and our taproom on #WindmillHillCityFarm is open from 12pm until late. Once the market is finished and all packed up, stick around or pop down and enjoy some live music (working on it...) and tuck in to some fish n' chips from Totterdown legends, #TheFishTruckFarrows. After the first few days back at school, you might need the respite! 🥴

@Professor_Stevens yeah. At worst the Finnish #fishNchips are basically fish fingers with fries…
Proper #fishnchips is just such an excellent food, when done right in the UK. Even the cheap lunch option I’m now having is superior to everything in Finland. I don’t know why the Finnish options are so miserable and expensive :(
Check out our new summer reds for the BankHoliday weekend! Both our Sicillian Frappato and Portuguese Tretas are organic, juicy, fresh wines that are highly quaffable on warmer days. Do like they do in Europe and try popping in an ice cube! ☀️ 🍷 🧊
Don't forget too that tonight we have #SoulBowl🥙 with us at the brewpub and #TheFishTruckFarrows🐟 at the taproom on #WindmillHillCityFarm. See you at 5!

🐟 🍟 It's Fish 'n' Chips for #foodtruckfriday down at our taproom #WindmillHillCityFarm as #TheFishTruckFarrows pops down the hill from #Totterdown to #Bedminster for the first time proper.
Drop by for a proper special Friday tea and take a load off in our little secret pub garden, why not try the Blackcurrant Fizz Sour from #GoodChemistry to kick off the #BankHoliday weekend?

@evilpaul_atebit the best places for #fishnchips I’ve found so far in Finland (and I’ve tried *many*) are #Belge in Helsinki (portion is small, and expensive, but content is correct) and #Mattila Tila in Nurmijärvi, closeish to where we live. The latter is a nice farm open in the summer with local produce and countryside surroundings. Good pizzas and burgers too. Their fries are nice, but not ‘chips’. I’d give both **** on Finnish scale.
#fishnchips at #Britannia / #Kivis in #Kivistö. High price (€26) for what was quite a small portion. Fish batter was heavy and overdone, not golden and fresh, though better than at #StUrhos. Chips were the usual country fries. The menu stated mushy peas but they weren’t available (they only reacted when we asked about them, with free bad Yellow Label tea). 2/5 stars on Finnish scale. Would be 1/5 on British scale for this price.
No decent fish 'n' chips in Canberra so when at the coast, got to get to Berny's.
