Our first meal in London was the classic fish and chips, and we went to The Golden Hind Restaurant as recommended by the guidebook.
We have excellent fish and chips in Vancouver, specifically salmon. In the UK, salmon is not part of the usual menu, so we ordered cod and a haddock with large chips for sharing.

| Cod and Haddock Fish & Chips |
First, I did not expect a long and generous amount of fish. Wow. In Vancouver, the cut is more square(?), while in Seattle, it's like fish sticks.
Then, the batter in London is definitely lighter and thinner compared to what I have had in Vancouver.
Of course, as expected, haddock is more flavourful than the cod. I thought the tartar sauce was subpar, but the fries are definitely fresh-cut potatoes.
After dinner, I was in a food coma and felt exhausted from the flight. I cannot wait to come back to our hotel for much-needed sleep.
