What is the weirdest thing you’ve ordered from a fish and chip shop? Trust me, what we try in this episode is stranger: straight-up unhinged… and delicious! 

This is the first episode of our Deep Fried Deep Dive, a weekly series where we explore Australia’s favourite deep-fried foods. We’re starting at the fish and chip shop, and in this episode you’ll learn why ‘minimum chips’ is a big lie, the connection between potato scallops and actual scallops, plus a whole heap of other crunchy facts and funny stories (including an embarrassing potato cake admission). 

Ingredipedia’s Deep Fried Deep Dive will be released weekly over the next month. Next week: dim sims!
