Fish and chips (also fish 'n' chips), a popular take-away food with British origins, consists of deep-fried fish in batter or breadcrumbs with deep-fried chipped (slab-cut) potatoes.Popular tradition associates the dish with the United Kingdom; and for decades fish and chips dominated the take-away food sector in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. Fish and chips also has considerable popularity in parts of North America (New England, the Pacific Northwest and Canada generally), the Republic of Ireland and South Africa. Establishments in Denmark and in some coastal towns in Norway serve fried fillets. In the Netherlands, the popular deep-fried, battered fried fillet dish called lekkerbek sometimes appears served with chips.

A Japanese restaurant has combined a deep-fat fryer with a functional goldfish tank -- the boiling oil floats on the surface of the cool water, and the fish get to eat all the crumbs of batter that dribble down.

You have to see the video for this. A Japanese man created a deep fryer that sits atop an aquarium. Since the oil and water don't mix, the fish can live and eat fallen foodstuffs from the frying process. The real question: why aren't the fish obese?

Well, this has to be the weirdest design solution we've ever seen for that particular problem: A deep-fryer with a goldfish cleaning solution. Goldfish, as in actual fish.You know how oil and water doesn't mix? Oil sits on top. So this guy in Japan figured out he could make a deep-fryer with fish in the bottom, and they eat the spoils.

This is a deep fryer that uses a goldfish tank with live goldfish. Oil and water don't mix, so the 163 degree oil stays on top. The fish eat the greasy food flakes that fall through, stay away from the surface, and can happily live for 5-10 years.
