Jordan Luxford worked in several fish and chip shops over the years and later explained why some orders are better avoided. His biggest warning was simple: he would never order a fried beef burger from a chippy, because burgers are better cooked on a hot plate rather than dropped into fryer oil. He also said customers who want fresher food should ask for items that are not already sitting under the glass-top hot lights.

He also shared a behind-the-scenes detail many customers would not know: after battered products are cooked, a batch of chips may be fried afterward because the chips help collect smaller batter particles left in the oil. That does not mean every chip shop is bad, but it does explain why some menu choices can look less appealing once you have seen how the kitchen works.
