The fish and chip debate

[TomandJerry]

So, I just got served fish without the skin on the bottom and got charged full whack, where as the other fish and chip shop is cheaper plus it has the skin on the fish....

....plus who the bloody hell puts ketchup on chips?
Brown all the way...

Anyways.. do you prefer skin on or skinless?

 

[Bakero]

I wouldn't be too fussed either way.

As an aside, what's the best fish and chip shop in Brighton and Hove?

This has made me fancy fish 'n' chips tonight.

Filletts in Lewes Rd near the bottom Elm Grove.

New chippy opening up on Trafalgar St pretty much opposite Sing Li's. Looks like they're going for BHA fans as they're using all the colours.

My nearest is The Daily Catch on St James's Street. A little pricey, but outstanding.

Also, in my book, fish & chips doesn't count as takeway. Chinese, kebab or pizza is takeaway. Fish & chips isn't. Probably why I'm so fat

I agree about Fillets. Its the best Fish n Chips I had since the Chinese on Upper Lewes Road in the 80's and early 90's.
The batter is succulent and the Cod is delicious massive flakes, Always the Friday meal at out House.

Ketchup is heaven, even I have mushy peas on the side as well. Skins are a luxury, but I can't claim to be a fish & chip aficionado because I don't have it regularly.

Oh is it? Always thought of that asTrafalgar St. To answer your question it is the premises on the corner, last time I knew it was an Internet cafe. It's been a few different things over the years.

Must look out for it. Is that next to Divalls cafe? If it is VFM it should do well but the cafe/coffee shops there have always struggled or appear to as nearly always very few people in it.

Not sure, rarely go by there these days. I'm not a Brightonian I'm afraid.

Trident in Eastbourne is the best and they do Gluten free batter, they truly are superb

I endorse the vote for Fillets - absolute top drawer.

Anyone been to the chippy a few shops down from Hove station, almost next to the pub that keeps on changing its name? It looks quite fancy, wondered what it was like
