Only the UK would classify something "fish and chips" as the pinnacle of their cuisine.
Actually the Irish are super into it too. And Australia, though they fuck up the condiments by having aioli instead of salt and vinegar.
Portugal has a similar thing that is deep fried squid and chips. I was told I absolutely had to try it and it was bloody chewy.
Fried fish is a big thing in Portugal and Galiza, in fact that's were the brits got the idea, but almost no one would rate it god tier among the local cuisine.
If the calamari is chewy it's overcooked. It should not be chewy
That explains why we had to wait 30 minutes for our food then!
