British Pub Batters The Black Rose's Record for Largest Serving of Fish and Chips

An Irish pub in Boston no longer holds the record for the larges plate of fish and chips, as another pub, this one in Britain, beat their record over the past weekend.

According to the Yorkshire Post, The Wensleydale Heifer in West Witton (North Yorkshire) created a fish supper that weighed 101 pounds, moving well past the record of 78 pounds formerly held by The Black Rose on State Street in downtown Boston. The article mentions that record-breaking meal included a huge fillet of halibut that was placed in more than four gallons of batter, then cooked in oil for a total of seven hours. The dish included buckets of chips and a vat of peas.

The record was confirmed by Guinness World Records, according to the Yorkshire Post.
