As Good Friday comes, many Britons will follow the habit of eating fish for their evening meal, which is steeped in Christian traditions.
The Royal Family has always followed this tradition, and the late Queen Elizabeth had her own refined version of the original fish and chips.
Former royal chef Darren McGrady, who served the Queen from 1982 to 1993, stated that Her Majesty favored a lighter version of the traditional meal.
Instead of the traditional battered cod or haddock, she used hake, a softer white fish. The fish was coated with a panko breadcrumb coating, which provided a delicate crunch without the weight of deep-frying.
The fish was served with a tarragon-infused hollandaise sauce, which added an elegant touch to the dish.
Presentation was critical in the royal kitchen. The chips were painstakingly sliced into regular rectangles and put in a nice pyramid next to the fish. This attention to detail elevated a simple dish into a banquet fit for a queen.
While King Charles and Queen Camilla's Good Friday supper is kept confidential, it's probable that they'll continue to honor this great family ritual by combining culinary heritage with personal choice.
