What kind if fish does Harry Ramsdens use?

[Planecrazy4dis]

Does anyone know what kind of fish is used in Harry Ramsden's famous Fish and Chips that you get in UK Epcot? I’m curious because it’s the best fish & chips I’ve ever had and I’m from New England. Sorry Kelly's.
Thanks!

The online menus say cod. I have never even thought about eating Fish & Chips outside of New England! Maybe I should give it a try on our next trip! -Amy in RI

You're so right about Harry Ramsden's - it is better than Kelly's! (I like Kelly's but their fish just hasn't been as good lately)

It is cod. It's one of the nessecities to call it Harry Ramsden's

In the UK the battered fish in 'Fish and Chip Shops' is almost always either cod or haddock.

Although over fishing in the North Sea has put a lot of pressure on cod and haddock stocks and there are strict restrictions on the amount caught.

Alternative white fish has been tried, but most people prefer either cod or haddock for their fish and chips

We're from a fishing town in the North East of Scotland and it is always haddock that is served in our local fish and chip shops.

Most of the cod that is caught up here is sent to other locations around the UK and Europe.

Yeah…it’s primarily cod and haddock in New England too. Haddock is a little more popular. I heard small sand sharks (dogfish in MA) are also used in the UK for fish n’ chips. Is that true?
