It is quite clearly a smoked haddock fishcake on a bed of wilted spinach, topped with a poached egg and hollandaise, and a basket of twice-cooked chips.
Looks quite decent to me.

Very close. You need to tweak two elements of your answer.

No idea, don't care, but I just feel I need to say that that is the most pretentious looking meal I have seen for ages and I bet it has some really fancy name and is well overpriced.
All that is wrong with Nouvelle Cuisine...

Chips look good. Not sure about the spinach though, looks pretty soggy.

Must have more than just haddock - probably includes salmon as well ? And the chips will be TRIPLE cooked as that allows another 20% to be added. £14.95
Edit - having tea in a cardboard cup kind of negates the pretentiousness a bit.....

This. What was ever wrong with eating off a plate?

The most curious thing..
Portions look a bit mean.
Why do the chips need cooking twice - is that because they were just presented as a raw spud first time round?
The paper cup is definitely down market.

Yes they do which makes much easier to cook on order and therefore more annoying when I see that used a premium description.
Someone clever in catering sussed a few years ago you could fry them first (hours ahead) then quickly fry them again later.
.. and we've been paying for it ever since.

To be fair when double, or triple, frying is done properly and not as a way of preparing them in advance of a rush they can taste sublime.
Eh ? Anywhere serving chips has been doing this for donkey's years, from the humble chippy upwards. I worked as a kitchen dogsbody in a pub when I was at school at weekends and we always pre-cooked chips to about 70% then finished them off at a very high heat for a few mins before serving (in the early 80s). TRIPLE cooked chips are premium.......thanks Heston.....[emoji3]
