Fish and chips

[saintkiptanui]

I'm having them tonight, only once in a while do I crave this wonderous food and tonight is that night, lashings of salt and vinegar, no tomato sauce, thats for idiots.

[Junction 9]

I would more often but my local one is dire. so hard to find a really good one these days.

They are also nice late at night when extremely refreshed in Bedford Place.

 

BTW Piggy, which of the Morrison's pasties is it you recommend, the ones crimped at the top, the D-shaped ones or the steak and Stilton ones?

The Best range traditional cornish pasty. They have some crimped ones which aren't great if they ain't the best range stay clear.

 

BTW the best range one's look like a cornish pasty should look.

 

Junction you should drive to st marys street and get fish and chips from the place owned by greek people, opposite the Plume, mmmm tasty.

I was in Morrisons in Totton getting my lunch today, forgot all about them!

I've had chips from there many times, but never tried fish.

err I lived in cornwall for 6 years, don't talk to me about pastys.

 

DSM they are in the hot counter.

[Thedelldays]

Ginsters??

no no....the best ones are in little pasty outlets in Cornwall..

 

there are a couple of small family run pasty (Oggie) shops around the naval base and they are lovely..

 

fresh in the morning and at lunchtime...

We had F & C last night and I had a pea fritter - yummy.

 

You should all move near me - we've got probably the best chippy in the land just down the road.

[Guest Dark Sotonic Mills]

My favourite chippy was in Derby, just off the ring road. The fried all their stuff in beef dripping, the smell and taste were wonderful. They did fantastic potato fritters as well.

Too middle class, I expect the fish is sustainable Pollock.

 

I would like to own a fish and chip shop, I would call it

[scott_saints]

I'm having fish and chips in approximately 5 minutes.

 

With a battered sausage n' all. Oh, and curry sauce for the chips!

wrog wrong wrong, salt and vinegar is the only thing to have with them.

[scott_saints]

I do sometimes just stick to the ol' s n' v.

 

But I like to cover it in curry sauce when I'm f00king hungry, which is now!

I don't know though, I got used to having gravy on mine when 'oop North.

I conker with this statement, although I am partial to a battered pineapple ring every now and then.

Yes, I've heard you like a battered ring.

[Arizona]

Yes, I've heard you like a battered ring.

 

I wondered which of our resident gimps would post that. TBH I am shocked at your behaviour.

[Ponty]

Shocked? Really? Ah, come on..

Only illegally farmed cod for me.

[Master Bates]

Best chips used to be Ted's in Bedford Place, but then Mike left and they changed their oil, now the chips look anemic.

[saintkiptanui]

Only illegally farmed cod for me.

Thats the spirit, i hope the farm uses fishmeal to feed them thus using more fish to feed them than they produce?

[Junction 9]

I used to like Mike's place, but it went downhill after Ted left.

I grew up near a great chippy in Sholing now sadly a Chinese. Living up north i do miss pea fritters :-(

Me too - near St Monica's school / the Brickyard. It was always a great treat to stop for chips on the way home from Brownies

[saints_is_the_south]

The one down the front of Holbury is pretty good.

 

For me its cod & chips with lots of salt, no vinegar & ketchup. Mmmm

[saintkiptanui]

I didn't eat mine.

[dubai_phil]

Our pre match routine USED to be Max;s fish 7 chip shop down near Debenhams... those were the days.

 

Over here our two local chippy's have both shut down, one is now manky Thai takeaway and the other has been demolished. There's one left that does Cod & Chips but it is right the other side of town and in the rush hour takes 90 minutes to get there and they are really inconsistent

 

A local pub does great Hamour & Chips with Mushy Peas but has gone up from 30 Dirhams (about 4.50) to 60 about 9 quid....

 

Do miss it though and the Chippy & a pint of Real Ale are the two first things on my list when I come back to Blighty (after servicing the missus of course)

 

so the BIG question

 

Mushy Peas or Tartare Sauce?

[saint boggy]

was that the Apollo in Alfriston Gardens, or the one in Montague Avenue (the lighthouse, i think it was called)?

[Mattio]

The best one I know is the one that used to be Mikes in West End.

No it was where Kathleen Road joins St Monica Road (I think - blimey it's years since I've been there lol)

 

And Phil - it HAS to be mushy peas, or even better pea fritter, every time

[Saint_clark]

no no....the best ones are in little pasty outlets in Cornwall..

Are you one of these people who says they are having fish and chips but never actually buys fish, therefore your having chips and battered sausage with a side of curry sauce.

[skintsaint]

Had fish n chips last night for the first time in ages. lovely with onion vineger, salt and tartar sauce.

The Apollo in Alfriston Gardens was my local. Massive queues every friday evening. You name it, they put it in batter and a bag of scraps for halfpenny :-)

I probably waited in the queue with you then. Lucky for me i only had to cross the road.

My mum still still lives there and i visit a few times a year. Can't get a pea fritter anymore though :-(
