East Vs West
If you're from that strange place south of Gretna, you may not answer the question as it has been specifically coded for the purposes of this
discussion.
Please, please vote for what you know is only right and proper....
First time I got offered salt and sauce in Livingston I was like WTF

clearly 'salt and vinegar' is the correct answer.
Also clearly - 'salt and sauce' is another attempt by those of us who are from the North of Gretna to confuse and gain a psycholocolgical
advantage over those of us who hail from South of Gretna when purchasing Fish and Chips. This ploy is clearly doomed to fail as by starting this
thread we are now enlightened 
Surely it should be
"Deep Fried Mars bar"
or
"Gin and Tonic"
going by the results of this poll, i'm guessing there are 6 english that have voted and 5 scots! so far

You wouldn't neccesarily appreciate that salt and vinegar / Salt and sauce isn't a Scotland / England thing, it's an East - Vs - West issue.

For the education of an ignorant southerner, what is the "sauce" in "salt and sauce"? Normal ketchup or a special Scottish concoction?

"Gold Star brown sauce". If that's anything like HP brown sauce then it seems like a good plan to me; I've never been keen on
vinegar with fish and chips, normally just have salt.
EDIT: Just seen Blakes reply, sounds revolting!

Salt and LOTS of sauce all the way! It's just so dry and tasteless without it!
The 'sauce' is a mixture of malt vinegar and brown sauce... I've seen a reference to 'Gold Star' brown sauce - it's
similar, but more 'runny' and slightly more 'vinegar-gry'.
One of my biggest frustrations is that they don't do 'sauce' in Aberdeenshire... shame really as their fish and chips are the best!
As for Engurlund... what is it with leaving the skin on the fish - get rid of it!
And those of you living in the Tyne and Wear area... 'scraps'??? And they say that the deep fried Mars-Bar (something I've never
actually seen in any Scottish chippie) is unhealthy!?
Seeing as we are diversifying geographically, what about a "pea wet"?
Mushy peas with your sunday dinner than a nice thick piece of bread to mop up the gravy - thats about as wierd as it gets round my way.
Salt and viniger is a must, then add some proper brown sauce the thick stuff, none of you namby pamby watered down east coast p*sh
Brown sauce was made for sausages and bacon not fish!!
