I worked at an arcade many eons ago and that was adjoined to a Nathans. I did eat there, but it wasn't terribly often.
Would this happen to have been the one in Westbury, NY just off of Old Country Road ?

Ok, I get it. It was on account of the big war I presume. Dad used to tell me about it as he spent time in England (even after WWII as he was a merchant marine. That's how he met mom, poor guy . I remember and episode of Lovejoy Mysteries where someone ate f&c from a newspaper. Perhaps for show (I.e some sort of nostalgic sentiment), or as you say they used faux newsprint. And I'm hungry I wish I.could get good f & c somewhere.
Is it all it's cracked up to be, even these days? Is the fish caught locally or shipped in from somewhere?
My first and last UK experience with fish and chips was about 40 years ago when I dropped by a busy shop in King's Cross. Fried cod and chips, wrapped in newsprint.
Unbelievably greasy, with the chips being limp oily limitations of good pommes frites. I then figured that going "native" with food in the UK was a lost cause. I opted for Indian restaurants after that and have never been tempted to try again. The greasy taste is still in my memory.
Lol nah in the hood in Coram, Suffolk county on Middle Country rd., rte. 25. That area must be absolutely ghastly nowadays, I worked there in 1987. Born in Brooklyn, family moved to eastern (or central really) LI in 1975.
I was wanting to hear from justanotherhacker. I know how we eat over here.
Nothing says UK like a good chicken vindaloo.
