I used to love fish & chips. Well, I did live in Skipton, and my dad got them once a week from Eastwoods. I had the same anticipation about them every time (less often) we got them after we'd moved to Derby, but was disappointed every time.
Since forswearing the meat, I avoided for a while, but started going back when I realised a lot of places had started using vegetable oik instead of rancid lard
Still, choice is limited if you want no dead things in your wrap up, so it's been chip butties. The chips have to be just so - not to thick or fine, and not too soggy or crisp - and are ideally topped with scraps. Loads of salt & vinegar, soaking into the breadcake. Just right.
AJs in Hebden Bridge serve tempura vegetables with their chips, which is grand, but I've never tried the halloumi & chips option
