I miss the fish&chips in Victoria, and also a shop nearby Green Lake in Seattle, where I could barely afford it even then as a UW student.

My wife worked on Vancouver Island before we married, and would go into Victoria. Later, when we adopted in Seattle, she marveled that they batter the fish in Victoria, but bread it in Seattle (we went to some famous "Keep Clam") place. In Canada, even the McDonald's have malt vinegar packets for the filet o'Fish and fries.

I enjoyed but never did consider Ivar’s fish and chips to be authentic British style — maybe it was the breading, IDK. Not at all the same.

Used to be that Ivar’s had locations all over the PNW but now they have pulled back to the Puget Sound market area, excluding eastern WA towns like mine.
