Best Fish & Chips

Chips look decent... nice bit of ageing on them. Well cooked but no over done. Look pretty close to a perfect 5/7 to me.

Scraps of dead animal can jog on though...

Yeah the chips actually look bang on in that photo. Do you eat fish or pure veggie?

Yeah, good colour.

Fish ain't a vegetable so I don't eat it.

.................. and on Wednesday it will be officially named and launched by the Princess Royal at Greenwich in London. Spectators will be treated to 3,000 free portions of fish and chips.

ARE WE LIVING IN A FUCKING PARODY NOW?

Also, fuck the fishing industry as it has done our Oceans ecosystem.

Where's good for chips in the east at the moment? Traditional, not artisanal.

It was always Faulkners of Dalston bitd, they always did matzo as well as regular battered fish, it's the best.

Britannia Fish Bar in Mile End, by the Palm Tree always did 'northern' chips, and therefore were a cut above most London chippies (in line with Fryer's Delight etc)

Yes, been to the Britannia before, and Faulkners. Both are decent. I see that Kingfisher on Homerton high street has a vegan menu, but seems to be under the old management. Might try there.

Keep us updated, also interested in the non animal gubbins.
Britannia fish and chip shop was a fave of mine when i liked on Grove road.

I miss chips & gravy

Edinburgh chip shop sauce is the only thing you need.

Cheap Brown sauce and Vinegar. Easy to make at home

Yep - the chips were almost certainly good due to the beef tallow (Fryer's Delight's secret too).

Not that horrible brown sauce shit, I'm talking gravy. The place down the road from Manchester velodrome that I found when I refused to get my dinner from some massive supermarket because that's where everyone else was going. That was good stuff. It'd probably been in the same pot for 20 years. :D

Hot take: the best fish n chips is only ever going to be as good as an average turkish

Nearest town to us has a good chippy, chips are excellent and fish is good but not excellent. My wife used to work in a chippy in Manchester so knows what she is talking about.

Once a month a mobile chippy comes to our village. They do gluten free fish and chips. But the queue is ridiculous, have had to wait for an hour. The batter is possibly the best I have ever had but their chips are only good not excellent. But I’d rather have excellent fish and good chips over the good fish and excellent chips.

You want Salt & Sauce?

I always say no you animal, Salt & Vinegar....

This thread is full of heathens.

Fairly sure I checked they were not cooked in animal.

May have changed?

They were filming Top Boy in there back in November. They'd changed the signs to 'Monty's Chippy' though.

The 'artisanal' fish n chip place on Chats does actually do good chips. In fact I rate it for fish too.

Big recommendation for the Golden Chippy in Greenwich. Easily one of the best fish and chip shops I've tried. It knocks some of the famous good ones into a cocked hat.

Chips are veggie. Their Haddock is a revelationary experience. If fish isn't your thing, the owner always has a few pieces of home made fried chicken ready to go. Worth a try.

The Golden Chippy also has the story about how it became London's top rated restaurant on Trip advisor.

You can use vinegar in the mix if that's how you like it, but the chippies just water down brown sauce. There's already vinegar in brown sauce and dilution makes that more apparent.

Edinburgh weirdos.

Surely the solution is to get the chips from the chippy in town and the fish from the mobile chippy?

Years ago when I lived on the Wirral, the local chippy did amazing fish, but rubbish chips. The next nearest chippy did great chips but the fish wasn't up to much, so one of us would go to get chips, the other fish.
