Magpie Café

I believe many people have heard of the term "British dark cuisine", although before I came to the UK, I was also shocked by the British famous dish "Looking up at the stars" which was once popular on the Internet. If you must ask what the British national dish is? "Fish and chips" must be the standard answer. Today I will introduce to you the number one fish and chips shop in the UK, "The Magpie Cafe". Restaurant name: Magpie Cafe Address: 14 Pier Road, Whitby, North Yorkshire YO21 3PU Business hours: 11:30am-21:00pm Per capita: 10-15 pounds Recommended index: "Food can only be taken away during the epidemic" History: This store is located in Whitby, a city in northern England. It not only has rich seaside scenery, but it is also the birthplace of fish and chips. "The Magpie Cafe" also has a long history and is a century-old store. It has also been translated by netizens as "Magpie Restaurant". Location & Environment: This fish and chip shop has three floors in total. The interior decoration is typical of the British style, fresh and clean. There are also many special landscape paintings on the wall. The best location is on the second floor, where you can see the view of Whitby Abbey opposite. The warm sun at noon is shining on the cliff opposite, and the cemetery on the hillside is particularly dazzling facing the golden light. Must-order dishes: Fish and chips must be ordered, but the fish varieties are divided into two categories. Hadock "Haddock and Chips" and cod chips "Cod and chips" Among them, Haddock and Chips is the signature must-order of the store. The taste of the two fish is not much different. The hot cod is served, fried in batter, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and a bite of the crispy shell. If a little vinegar is added, it is actually more fresh. Of course, lemon is the best. Cream lobster pasta The lobster tastes very tender and very fresh. The pasta is relatively soft and glutinous, and there is a lot of sauce, and the taste is very rich. Overall evaluation: Compared to other fish and chips in the UK, this one is not greasy and is very delicious overall! The environment is very comfortable. Because the restaurant is very popular, there are still many people eating even at 2 pm. So it is recommended that you arrange your dining time and accept reservations by phone in advance The attitude of the waiter is average, probably because he is too busy.

Is British cuisine really "dark cuisine"? Why can "fish and chips" become the "national dish" of the United Kingdom? Where are the best fish and chips? The United Kingdom is probably known as the country with the most unpalatable 😭 food rankings, but how should I put it? It can be said that the more famous foods are more terrible, such as 😥 stargazing pie (a pie with a strong fishy smell), 🥵 haggis (large mutton balls), 😰 black pudding (blood sausage), 🤢 Jellied eels (cooked with vinegar and cooled to eel jelly), etc. In this way, 🤔 fish and chips are more normal, but we still can't understand how this plate of "snacks" can be used as the main course. 🐟 Why can "fish and chips" become the "national dish" of the United Kingdom? Potatoes (potatoes) were first seen in Britain in the 17th century. Fish and chips are a by-product of the British Industrial Revolution. Although Britain is an island country, it was difficult for non-coastal British people to eat fresh fish before the 18th century. But the steam train that was born in the 19th century changed everything. The speed made the price of fish cheaper; and the Jews who immigrated from southern Europe also brought the method of frying fish and chips. Fish and chips became the most popular cheap food for the working class. During World War II, Britain was short of supplies and the government rationed almost all food, but because Britain produced its own potatoes and could catch fish in relatively safe waters, fish and chips were not included in the restricted list. In a 2012 survey on "What do you think best represents Britain?", fish and chips defeated the Beatles, afternoon tea, Shakespeare, Buckingham Palace and the Queen of England, becoming the highest symbol in the minds of the British. It seems that "fish and chips" still has a lot of history, and there are geographical reasons why this food has become a "national dish". 🐟🍟Where are the best fish and chips? We went to the Magpie Café in Whitby, which is known as the most delicious fish and chips. Although it is called Cafe, it is actually a restaurant. Whitby is known as the place where you can eat the best Fish & Chips in the UK, and Magpie is the most famous place for Fish & Chips in Whitby. There are always people queuing at the door, and there is also a long queue in front of the takeaway window. [Restaurant address] Magpie Cafe, 14 Pier Road, Whitby, North Yorkshire YO21 3PU [Opening hours] 11:30 - 21:00 [Recommended dishes] Fish & Chips is naturally fried fish and chips. We also ordered a seafood pot which is not bad Super large portion, big pieces of fried fish, and super thick fries. The traditional combination is salt and vinegar (vinegar). Salt is used to match fries, and vinegar is used to match fried fish. However, this combination depends on personal preference. You can also try the original flavor, ketchup (dip in various sauces), squeeze lemon juice, etc. I thought it was OK when I first ate it, but after a few more bites, I felt a little greasy. After all, it is fried food, so it is difficult for our Chinese stomach to accept only fish and chips for a meal. It is worth trying to eat fish and chips as a side dish or snack with something else. [Restaurant environment] Although the restaurant is not large, there are many tables inside. The environment is naturally better on the second floor by the window, but because there are many people, usually the queue is waiting to be led to the seat and sit there. [Tips] If you only want to eat fish and chips and don’t want to wait for a seat, you can queue at the takeaway window, which will be faster than waiting in the restaurant. Although many British dishes are indeed called "dark dishes", there are also many restaurants to try. After all, you can’t eat instant noodles every day~ Of course, you can also choose 🛒semi-finished products or 🥗salads🥑 from supermarkets, which are also good. Therefore, when choosing accommodation, try to choose 1-2 homestays or apartments with 🧂kitchens. However, it is also difficult to insist on being self-sufficient every day, so you still have to try some restaurants occasionally.
