chip shop dinner...what are you having?

[Raleigh Chopper]

If you have a deep fat fryer I now buy fresh fish from the quayside shop straight off the boats we have a couple in Plymouth, the one in Looe is very good because the fishing boats do not stay out at sea so its really fresh.
Get them to chop the fillets off and make your own batter, far cheaper than the chip shop.
Hastings and Eastbourne have good ones on the beach especially for Plaice, I am sure there are many more.
If you live by the sea make the most of it.
BTW anyone tried deep frying pieces of fish in Panko breadcrumbs its very nice.

I like Skate and chips from Marinos in Burgess Hill but wife wants to try their Cod Bites they look to be good value at £2.60 for 4, obviously off cuts of fish.

 

[Algernon]

Plaice and chips from Rumbles.
Plenty of sore finger.

 

[Jesus Gul]

Cod chips mushy peas tip top drink

A long long time ago (1970) I can remember going to the chippie after swimming in North Road Baths and getting a pennyworth of scraps

There used to be baths in Brighton!?

 

[Mr Bridger]

The absolute must in fish & chippery is to vinegar first then salt, so the salt STICKS to the vinegar.

If anyone does it the other way round, go stand in the corner with the milk before the tea bag crew.

Same as I had when Nibble did this thread a couple of months ago cheers.

You don't want that, it will be off by now

Probably the only thing I miss about Aberdeen:

Haddock Supper (Large Haddock & Chips).

If I were still in Cheshire I might go for:

Steak and Kidney Pudding, Chips, Gravy and Mushy Peas

Salt & Vinegar as required with both of the above

The jocks have fish and chips right. Much as I love the captains table in saltdean, or countless other high quality chip shops on the Sussex coast, step North of the border and chip shops are on a different level.

 

[Nibble]

Unfortunately the best chippies are up North or West Country. Though most places have at least one passable chippy.

 

[Nitram]

Bardsleys, eat in, battered cod, chips and mushy peas, salt and vinegar. Alternatively on a nice summers day outside at The Melrose, grilled whole plaice, chips and mushy peas.

Where exactly are these "countless high quality" f&c shops, I know of very few sadly. None in Shoreham that I would say are anything but passable, none I've tried in Worthing either - though I hear Chipwicks is supposed to be good. Considering where we live it's rather poor.

I don't go East of Shoreham if I can help it.

 

[Badger]

Bardsley's is the best, battered cod, chips, plenty of vinegar, a little bit of salt

 

[WATFORD zero]

Skate and chips, mushy peas, tartar sauce from Bankers please

 

[KZNSeagull]

Medium Plaice, 2 fish cakes and Chips from the one in Queen's Road, Haywards Heath please. If it is still there of course...

 

[dingodan]

Battered sausage and chips.

Getting anything else makes you SOFT.

 

[sydney]

Battered sausage and chips.

Getting anything else makes you SOFT.

if you want a battered sausage surely you should be thinking thai...??

 

[jackanada]

Haddock and Chips, mushy peas, and a pickled egg.

or

Steak and Kidney Pie, Curry sauce and a wally and chips

 

[BensGrandad]

Bardsley's is the best, battered cod, chips, plenty of vinegar, a little bit of salt

I think Fillets in Lewes Rd is better both in quality and value for money.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

I prefer the chip shops in Bruges

 

[Dick Head]

Large chips with salt and onion vinegar.
