[Albion] £3.90 for 1 jumbo battered sausage !!

Worrying about the nationality of the owner seems a bit strange to me.

Chippies have always been a business popular with migrants. Growing up always knew Chinese and Cypriot chip shops.

I've only ever ordered them in a chip shop in Rhyl, but definitely seen them in other places.

Is that Brill as in North East Wales?

Opera rap?

Never trust those hybrid places. They do fried chicken, pizza and kebabs? Means they won’t do any of them well.

Very wise words.

Am I the only one to think my chippie is taking the Michael ?

Mine did me a seat of coasters for that price

Oh I miss this.

We lived on the 7 dials. For years a Saturday night out was a few pints in the Albert, then we’d head to the Battle, get nicely sozzled and head down to Sore Fingers for a saveloy and chip dinner. Taken home to enjoy in front of a DVD and a few bottles of “Spanish” beer, purchased from 7 dials Co-Op.

Happy days.

Glad this had been posted - we fancied a cheap takeaway and hadn't had fish and chips for a while, so - 2 medium cod and chips, a battered sausage and two cans of Rio. Was expecting about £18-20 absolute max.

£29.60! Wtf, could've had an Indian for that

My wife guessed £30.

(Buying drinks from a takeaway never a great idea.)

When I was (a lot) younger I used to work in a fish and chip shop in Brighton that wasn't open on Mondays, the reason for that was because the fishermen didn't go out on Sundays, so the fish wouldn't be fresh. My boss used to get the right hump with me as dinner or lunch was a perk of the job. I didn't like fish so used to have chicken & in comparison to the fish, that was really expensive, I would have Huss at a push (because he'd lie and say there was no chicken) . If he still owned it, he would be happy with me just having the chicken now, as fish is so much more expensive.
They used to do apple and blackberry 'spring' rolls as a pudding and they were lovely. The chip shop across the road from where I lived did pineapple fritters, does anywhere do either these days?

On the advice of a poster here (sorry, I’ve forgotten who) I ordered from Lexden fish and chips in Seaford. And it was probably the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. £21.40 for two medium (massive) cods and a regular chips between two of us. The portions were huge, and it was the freshest tasting most beautifully cooked battered fish I’ve ever tasted.

Highly recommended, even if you have a travel a little bit.

Shoreham to Scotland for a meal … “travel a little bit”?

Chips Inc in Goring do them but now £1.70 for two.

Quick question, I was informed last night that there is no such thing as a potato scallop in this country, and he wouldn't ask our local fish and chip shop if they had them. This seems a travesty. Its sliced potato, dunked in batter and fried, well tasty. Are they called something else here, or is there no such thing?

they don't do em ....the jocks have something similar called a time bomb.....slice of potato , black pudding , marshmallow , rum n raisin chocolate ........dipped in lard , fried then dipped in batter and deep fried.


disgusting

 

[GingerBeerMan]

If the plaice for a fish puns isn't on a chip shop thread then where can it be?

Blimey, I just realised people are making fish puns because the thread is about fish and chips. I'm genuinely concerned for my mental ability right now

N.b. this doesn't change my dislike of fish related puns being trotted out time and time again.

Especially when Bookers sell them in a pack of 40 for about £25
