- The account credits Francine Baker of Francine’s Fish & Chip Shop in Plymouth: the fritter took a week and several attempts, measures 18 inches long, weighs 3 kilos and used 12 cans of SPAM. The method is to slice 12 cans of 340 g SPAM Chopped Pork & Ham thickly, mix the shop’s best batter in an industrial-sized bowl, coat the slab front, back and sides, have six people lower it into the deep-fat fryer until crispy, and lift it out with several pairs of tongs.
