What type of fish is used for the Fish and Chips?

The fish used for Fish and Chips at Cooper's Hawk is cod. This choice is traditional and widely recognized, as cod has a mild flavor and flaky texture that makes it ideal for frying. When battered and deep-fried, it becomes crispy on the outside while remaining tender and moist inside, which is key to achieving the classic Fish and Chips experience.

In contrast, the other types of fish listed are not typically associated with this dish. For example, salmon, while popular in various preparations, has a rich flavor that may not provide the same experience as the lighter taste of cod. Haddock is another option sometimes used in Fish and Chips but is less common than cod. Sole, known for its delicate nature and subtle flavor, is also not a traditional choice for this dish, as it does not withstand frying in the same way as cod does.
