What's your usual Chippy order?

Butter pie:

Reliable veggie standby in many Lancashire chip shops and bloody gorgeous too.

Ah, I see - sounds lovely.
I shall search one out if I'm ever in Lancashire

I'm impressed at the lack of Northern chest-beating on a fish n' chips thread.

They have gravy with it the dirty bastards.

That's coz everyone knows they're better up north, it's not even worth of having the debate

 

[dodgepot]

small portion of chips with a battered sausage.

Reliable veggie standby

Veggies have no place in a chip shop

If cooked properly even the chips shouldn't be veggie friendly, they should be cooked in beef dripping

 

[electrogirl]

I used to work in a fish and chip shop.

I had an awful habit of dropping the tongs in the frier.

And the boys out the back who did the fish were really weird and only talked about Babylon 5.

What should they have talked about?

I'm eating Sausage and cheesy cauliflower mash (no potato) with peas and onion gravy right now

Cor sausages and cauliflower/macaroni cheese is to die for!

I usually get a saveloy and chips, and some bread and butter, and a can of coke
Or fush and chups

 

[danny la rouge]

Macaroni supper and mushy peas.

 

[Upchuck]

Cod
chips
maybe mushy peas - depends on the establishment
a saveloy
some kind of crap dessert

A girl with taste

I'll overlook the cauliflower shit

 

[fractionMan]

chips

 

[geminisnake]

But pollock just don't taste so good.

But neither does cod. I've never understood why the english eat cod. They serve haddock in chippers up here.

My order is usually a spicy haggis supper Don't get them down south either

 

[pogofish]

Pollock up here is not an eating fish - Most goes for fishmeal. Haddock, Lemon Sole or Skate is the traditional choice for chippers, although a few other sppecies are now common - eg, Cod, Orange Roughy, Hoki or farmed Salmon.

 

[pogofish]

If there ever was a picture, of a monk who had had his throat cut, mid-pray, who was instantly then battered and stuck on a load of giant chips, then that is it.

I've been impressed at the number of things folk see in that picture - Maybe the chipper alternative of the Rorschach Test?

 

[Biddlybee]

Usually a big sausage, chips and mushy peas (saveloys are just weird!)
Or fish, chips and mushy peas.

 

[Rollem]

usually fish and chips - haddock preferably, or plaice
sometimes just a chip roll
sausage in batter and chips if i am feeling naughty
curry sauce on good nights

on very rare occassions i might go for a minced beef and onion pie and chips

i want fish shop fish and chips now

 

[colacubes]

Haddock and chips usually. However if they have pukka pies it will be mince and onion pie and chips

I'm gonna force feed you cauliflower net time I see you

Coke with fish and chips is a given imo, it doesn't taste right if I can't drink fat coke!

[QueenOfGoths]

Plaice, chips and mushy peas. Though I will go for cod if I don't want to wait for plaice

Does help

The only thing that gives me indigestion is chippy chips, but they're so good

 

[Bakunin]

I hate fish and chips from chippys.........

UNTIL!!

I discovered this shop called the Red Mullet. Fuck me. The fish tastes like the sea, the chips taste like every one has been fried individually, just for you and you get lemon and tartare sauce with them. I asked the guy why it is so nice and he said to meee....

IS FRESH! IS THE FRESHEST FEEESH! NO IS FROZEN WHICH IS PROBLEM WIV THE OTHER FISH SHOPS GARY! STRRRAAIGHT FROM PLYMOUTH TO YOU IN THE MORNING!

I was like, safe man, big up yer chips

Another victory for us Plymouth folk, supplying the finest and freshest fish to yet another local chippy.

Living in Plymouth, I am of course spoilt for choice as to decent chippies, but the I'd recommend most is Platters down on the Barbican.

 

[Yetman]

You treading dangerous waters there missy......you know people with no hands? Yeah? Aks them how they lost their hands. Go on. It'll be the same tale every time, and it'll involve cauliflower, and yours truly.

 

[Kanda]

Those big chip shop sausages are really close, not big

 

[sojourner]

I only ever go the chippy about once a year these days. When I do I get just fish (no idea what it is - send the daughter), chips, and mushy peas* with plenty of salt and vinegar



*otherwise known as a split n fish, which sounds quite rude hactually

I've never heard that before but I like it !

When I was little we'd get fish, chips and scraps - the scraps being the little bits of batter which had fallen off the fish
