What is he suggesting (if anything)?Originally Posted by Rodder
My wife calls them lips and arsesLarge Plaice, large Haddock both light batter and a portion of chips ( big enough for two) £13.50 takeaway. I personally dislike take away food of any description but will relent for Fish and Chips.
Oh and forget the “ sweepings” sausage
What’s that got to do with the price of fish?
Had to do it I’m sorry 😞
A mate of mine calls them 'eyes, lips, toes and scrotes'
Cheers..

£13 for haddock, chips and mushy peas near me in the home of great Fish and Chips (Grimsby)

That's for 2 of each by the way
£9.60 here in Hathersage for fish/chips and peas which I think is very good value.

Leon's Famous Fish Restaurant?
Never heard of it! Just kidding. Is it still open?
There are a lot of decent establishments round here but still a few bad ones with poor quality fish.
If your in Saltburn Jim, try Church Fisheries next to the church. Lovely!
That if economies of scale and specialist skills didn’t exist the price would be excellent value. But they do, so it’s irrelevant.

3 Lemon sole fillets in batter and small chips £6.80. Best fish and chips in the north east.
Those not on bikes stand with their hands down the front of their tracksuits.Jeeeez! Not the best advert for the area !!!

Curry sauce with fish & chips !!!
What used to be a coop is now a McColls and the other shops are a kebab shop, a chemist and coin laundrette.
It’s perfectly safe, but I wouldn’t head for a pint in the pub next door. It’s not a flat roof one, but might as well be.
Curry sauce reheated the next day with a toasted sandwich to dip into it. Lovely. Although it does go solid overnight in the fridge.
I did a 3 month industrial placement with the company that made the powder mix for the curry sauce. Used to have loads of it at home & eat far too much of it with everything.
About £8 to £10 around here.
Growing up in the 80’s my dad always said that more money went under the mattress in fish and chip shops than any business. I guess it was all cash. I think then kebab, pizza, Chinese and Indian takeaways took off and fish and chip shops died out a bit. Certainly I can recall a lot closing where I live. Seems to have taken off again as the ones around are making a fortune.
I remember being told about 20 years ago that I guy who owned a couple of large ones in north Devon got caught by the revenue because of salt! He bought a lot of the fish direct off the trawlers for cash and the potatoes from local farmers, again for cash and when audited by HMRC they found that he was ordering a ridiculous amount of salt compared to what fish and chips he claimed was selling and they caught him that way! Always wondered if it was true or one of those urban myths that go around and it’s happened to fish and chip shop owners in every town :-)

Not sure how you read that. He’s been on the North Sea in a storm and worked in a fish shop, that’s all.
If you don’t eat the batter, the haddock is healthy, as it is steamed inside the batter. Deep fried chips have less fat than a McCains oven chip. Oven cooking forces the fat into the chip.
So your haddock supper healthier than you imagine.

One of the best chippies I ever visited was in brixham there was also a great fish restaurant overlooking the harbour owned by the same family one of the worst was Harry ramsdons in Brighton
No idea how much it is (at West Midlands Chippies you can get absolutely everything so I rarely have it) - but when I do have it always get taken by shock.
Bit of a rip off.
The problem is I eat the batter, plus half a bottle of ketchup aka sugar!
Chelmsford - Regular Cod & Chips around £9.60
Just out of interest I Googled Rick Steins Fish an Chips at Padstow and was pleasantly surprised it is only a modest £11.
FTFY!
Cod and chips are about £8.50 around here with a battered sausage £1.50 extra.
I've heard them referred to as "hole sausages".
Made from ear holes, nose holes, mouth holes and arseholes.
Huss and medium chips here on the SE coast £8:40 - bargain
Earlier this year my wife had "fish and chips" at Tom Kerridge's Hand and Flowers in Marlow - £56!! I actually could not bring myself to pay that much for it so had something different :-)
Ridiculous
The best one around here in Kingston, SW London is around £9.50 for regular haddock/cod and regular chips. Not a patch quality wise on some of the fish suppers I've had up in Scotland though. Anstruther Fish Bar was an almost transcendental moment!

Is Huss the staple fare, or do you have it in preference to Cod, haddock, whiting?
If memory serves - it's Dogfish which used to be imaginatively-named ........ Rock Salmon?
Good luck to Kerridge similarly to the guy in Kensington flogging a bit of steak in gold leaf get it while you can.
I FEEL LIKE I'M DIAGONALLY PARKED IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE
Nowt wrong with a bit of Huss, Dogfish or Rock Salmon a very decent “ bottom feeder”

We had fish and chips from the local chippy at our wedding reception. It came to £5.50 a head which was excellent value. It was bloody lovely too.
You need to head up the road Adrian, the OP.'s meal would be under a tenner and yours £12. 50, or an extra quid for a large cod.
No hope then

Any locals in Devon I’m guessing would know Squires in Braunton? Without doubt the best fish and chips I’ve ever had and well worth the money. I’ve only ever eat in and if I remember correctly it was about £15 for fish and chips, peas and bread, included tea I’m sure....I would have no issues paying £20 plus
Where? I’ll point the wife that way, she eats fish
£7.50 for cod and chips down in Portsmouth - can’t go wrong! https://www.britanniafishandchips.co.uk/
The Cod’s Scallops is just down from me, and often wins Fish and Chip Shop of the Year.
Took 6 of us last week, one of whom was a kid, and cost me £96

Tonight was fish n chips, fried pizza and special fish with chips. £18.35
No deep fried Mars bars tho!!!!

Did you hear about the armed robber who thought he would do over his local chippie?
He ran in all masked up and shouted "Give me all your money!!"
The frier replied " To take out?"
At the Admiral (Crookes), Sheffield - haddock, chips and peas is 8 pounds , 7 pounds without peas.
Oh dear, the old ones are (not) the best ones. Made me smile though UncleA!

Lol, true Vic true!
Now what's this liquor stuff us Oop north have heard rumours about? 😉
Not strictly true, otherwise there would not be oil in the oven tray after cooking them - so not true at all in fact!
Hot oil can seal a chip shop chip effectively, but they still absorb about 2 x the fat of a similar sized oven chip.
A chunky oven chip has lower surface area to potato than an oven French fry, so are the healthier option & lower fat as a result.
Frozen fry at home chips are just about the same as chip shop chips, the science is the same.

It's a bit of pain to get to in the car as there isn't any parking but I sneak in behind the shop and don't hang around for long.
They are pretty good as chippies go, the fish is usually fried to order so doesn't hang around under the light for long. They used to to sell locally made pies too which were much butter than the not so Pukka muck they sell now.
I went to Billingsgate the other day. 4kg of medium size haddock fillets was £42.
This equates to approx £4 per medium fillet. Doesn't seem much room for the chip shop to turn a profit tbh. They probably get the raw fish a bit cheaper because they're regulars at the market and get associated discount.
£7.50 in my corner of the Peak District.
The only Grade 2 listed chip shop in the country to boot.
Prices seem a bargain compared with some reported here.
You not like the one in Ranmoor, Franco?
The Molesey Fish Bar is not far from you. You'll thank me later.
Ah cool looks great I'll give it a try thanks! :)
I believe they were voted best in the U.K. a few years ago. Was related to them via marriage years ago. Lovely people and very hard workers. Deserved success.
Out in Aldeburgh but the best fish and chips I've had. Always a huge queue and a treat whenever I get to go to Aldeburgh.

Had a treat today after picking the spanner up from the vets.
2 x large cod, 2 x regular chips, £18.40 from the chippy in the village. Nice though.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
They are also good, but very difficult to park nearby. The lady is the cousin of the owner of the now defunct Broomhill Friery.
Very decent also the chip shop in Crosspool.
