Best Fish & Chips

Trying to coordinate the fish and the chips would be impossible so one or the other would be cold. I have thought about it!

Do or do not. There is no try.

Its never quite the same though... needs to be that special Gold Star brown sauce IMO.

That sounds like some fucking about

Ha, I'm glasgow so never really got the salt n sauce thing. Salt n vinegar is all you need none of this sauce patter.

I love Salt and Vinegar as much as the next guy, but once I tried chippy sauce I never looked back.

I used to live on Greenwich High Road midway between the Golden Chippy and the Chutney Tandoori in its magnificent early-2000s prime. The Chippy boss would always lower a piece of haddock into the fryer and pour me a glass of his questionable wine the second I pushed open the door. Good times.

have had to wait for an hour

Just. no.

Someone very close to me (ok it's me) does this with the local kebab shop chicken doner + the local chip shop chips.

When ever I pop back to the UK to visit the folks first meal upon arrival is from the chippie (Princes in Princes Risborough) without fail! Battered sausage n mushy peas to boot. Ketchup

Amazing. No wine now days sadly. Same guy though, still smashing it.

Fish and chips in the car overlooking the heath once a week kind of got us through lockdown. Our weekly treat.

Interesting to hear that Chutney has a history. I delicious, nearly opposite, is very good value and nice food sonive never given Chutney a shot.

wt fuck is salt n sauce?

Heaven.

Googled, so it's watered down and modified broon soss, I'm into that

Best fish and chips I've ever had is The Bay in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire. Multiple award winners https://thebayfishandchips.co.uk/awards/

I used to nip down there from Aberdeen on the Triumph. Miss that.

It is an awesome chippie condiment, the only draw back being that it might drip onto your clothes and stain them (if too liberally applied and/or if you're just a messy eater).

There used to be a high quality chippie on Lothian Road that served chips n a cone. A friend of mine discovered that adding too much chippie sauce to a cardboard cone is not smart. Even less smart when you're wearing white jeans. We had to walk in front of him on the way to and from the pub; looked like he'd messed himself.

Not sure if it's the same chippy but stonehaven is apparently the home of the deep-fried mars bar. I've got a mate who lives there and one of the chippies has a plaque-type thing on the wall comemorating its inception.

No it's not the same place, I think that's the Carron. Shite!

This. Married a Fifer and was never really given a choice.

Don't really get asked in Edinburgh either, if you don't want sauce you have to make it very clear, early doors in the ordering process.

I've gone from Cod, chips and mushy peas to fully converted Saltn'sauce Haddock supper.

I thought it was the chipper in Inverbervie, what I've been telling people any way lol.

When I was in Aberdeen everyone loved the Ashvale, but there was a great one off King Street, called the Kingfisher I think. First place I saw a full pizza super...

There was no need to invent the deep fried mars bar to shock people with what the Scots will deep fry and serve with chips. The King Rib, for example.

Ashvale

Yeah decent. I don't remember the one off King Street though.

Deep fried Pizza? My occasional very bad treat was a deep fried Macaroni Pie

I am still shocked about the Scottish person who told me they didn’t like their first pizzas in London. They were used to pizzas being from those little stacks of frozen discs which were just dropped into a deep fat fryer.

Google tells me it was the Bluebird on Urquhart Rd.

Yeah, 12 inch frozen pizza snapped in half, battered then the two halves placed on top of each other in the fryer. Genuinely couldn't believe my eyes.

I still love a white pudding supper, lovely.

Now there's a thread "best macaroni pie". Obvs in Aberdeen you had Thains (The all night pie shop) on George Street or the Old Town cafe on the High Street....
