Actually the FAP tonight is right next to Burdocks, best cod'n'chips on the British Isles, so I might be joining DV.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 21 August 2003 11:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Mary The Rock and Sole Plaice is OK but it is very expensive and the food is of decent (but not exceptional) chippy standard. And they don't give you enough chips. Covent Garden's a problematic place for eating anyway, I think.

For sit down eaty fish & chips the Golden Fish Bar just by the junction of Farringdon Road and Roseberry Avenue is a good one.

David - 727 on Great western rd, just before Byres Road, on the way out to the west, have always done great chips. I always make sure I get a king rib supper if I'm back in that part of town.

― Vicky (Vicky), Thursday, 21 August 2003 11:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Service in the golden bar is fantastic too, and they tend to have some fish in various sizes, so you don't need to waste any if you're not ravenous.

― Vicky (Vicky), Thursday, 21 August 2003 11:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, that place - I dunno. It doesn't look right. Too... neon. Hm. I think I'll stick to filthy kebabs as my greasy horrible fast-food of choice. (The Chip Chik Inn in Hyndland is pretty good, I suppose, but quite pricey.)

Glaswegians looking for a late night snack always have the option of the scooby snack from the maggie van....

― Vicky (Vicky), Thursday, 21 August 2003 11:26 (twenty-two years ago)

SCOOBY SNACK! No. Don't. Tell them what's in it Vicky, I can't remember everything. Ugh.

― David. (Cozen), Thursday, 21 August 2003 11:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Mark C would remember better than me.

umm, on a burger bun there's a slice of lorne sausage, a burger, a potato scone, an egg, sauces, there must be more than that... slice of cheese?

― Vicky (Vicky), Thursday, 21 August 2003 11:32 (twenty-two years ago)

sounds like showing off to me - let's see how much we can cram in our burger bun.

Lots of different tastes together...a bit dubious. But maybe I shouldn't knock it til I've tried it.

― MarkH (MarkH), Thursday, 21 August 2003 11:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Sounds like the 'messy burgers' the kebab vans do round here. There should be mushrooms as well though. And kebab meat.

― robster (robster), Thursday, 21 August 2003 12:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm still bothered by joe's comment abt proper chippies not selling kebabs. I think a chippie can fulfil all of the essential criteria expressed in my first post in this thread, yet still sell "non-traditional" items (traditional items always turn out to have a more recent invention than their supporters believe - q.v. Prime Minister's Questions or the After Dinner Mint). Proponents of ther "trad food only" argument are on a hiding to nothing anyway....multiculturalism and the "shrinking world" are hardly going to go away. Fast food just reinvents itself in new and exciting ways, yet the environment in which it is serves and who serves it (which my first post decsribed) can remain similar if not the same.

Burdocks is living on past glories at this stage, there's a better fish and chips to be had at the north end of Capel Street. But I might take the Fox to Burdocks so he can live the Dublin dream.

I wonder is Burdocks in "Ulysses"?

― DV (dirtyvicar), Thursday, 21 August 2003 12:35 (twenty-two years ago)

thirded on the Golden fish bar, but bear in mind that they're on holiday right now, but it's ace, as I stated waaaaaay upthread

Dalston looks fancy.

The best fish and chips I've had recently were at Rowlies in Pembroke. Very good and giant portions. Most places in Wales - fish and chips and cheap cafes generally - seem to serve portions approaching twice as large as equivalent outlets in SE England, for example Neptunes in Southend where the fish and chips were quite nice but the portions meagre.

― David (David), Thursday, 21 August 2003 20:21 (twenty-two years ago)

burnham on crouch is good for this

― gareth (gareth), Friday, 22 August 2003 00:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I have been to Burdocks. Has it got coal-fired deep fat fryers?

Last night me and the missus had cod and chips and Mooro had haddock and chips. I forgot there were different makes of fish, so I just asked for fish and chips, but I got cod. Mooro asked for haddock.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 22 August 2003 07:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Can't properly remember but I think Scottish chip shops just do 'fish'. None of your 'cod' or 'haddock' faff.

― robster (robster), Friday, 22 August 2003 07:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Mmmm, i'm thinking maybe chips & mushy peas could do the trick tonight!! yay me!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 22 August 2003 07:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I have been to Burdocks. Has it got coal-fired deep fat fryers?

it could do. me and the Pinefox ate from there last night. it was very tasty - I think it's on a bit of an upswing. which is good.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Friday, 22 August 2003 08:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the coal-fired fryers had to be taken away due to fun-hating fire regulations.

― rener (rener), Friday, 22 August 2003 08:54 (twenty-two years ago)

damn those fire regulations! always spoiling the fun!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 22 August 2003 08:55 (twenty-two years ago)

read it now, read it here, for you will never see these words in the same sentence again...

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Friday, 22 August 2003 09:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Though not UK-grade fish and chips, I highly recommend Neptune's Net on PCH out on the Ventura/LA county line. Good fish and chips and cheap beer.

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Friday, 22 August 2003 23:15 (twenty-two years ago)

cozen if you cant find decent fush and chips in Glasgow just have

1. a deep fried pizza

2. a deep fried pie

― colin o'hara (jed_e_3), Friday, 22 August 2003 23:19 (twenty-two years ago)

deep fried pie - how does that work? do they bake the pie first, then fry it? what's *in* the pie?

― MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 23 August 2003 22:04 (twenty-two years ago)

hahahahahahahhaa Dave Stelfox's hake and halibut puns!!!!!! food puns = classic. being drunk = classicXor!

five years pass...

Tell me about making it home. Tips? We're doing f&c for Labor Day.

― Ai Lien, Monday, 1 September 2008 01:45 (seventeen years ago)

It's not that difficult but scares me because of the huge vat of virtually boiling oil you have on the stove...sooooo...get one deep fat fryer. Good ones work really well and they're a lot less hassle if only for the reason that you can get the temperature right from the start which as fish'n'chip man will tell you is crucial.

― Ned Trifle II, Monday, 1 September 2008 13:40 (seventeen years ago)

Thx, Ned.

We decided to cook this stuff outside in a fryer. MMMMMMMMMM.

― Ai Lien, Monday, 1 September 2008 19:24 (seventeen years ago)

I think this stuff made me sick Sunday (after eating Sat night)

― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 13:34 (seventeen years ago)

I have no doubt that English F&C is superior to US F&C. Though I am off the idea altogether now. WHen I was a kid I loved F&C! We had a fast food chain that claimed to make it like the English, I think it even came in newspaper? Called H Salt Fish-n-chips, there was also Arthur Treachers? Last ime I had them was in a local pub, I was sick-to-my-stomach for 2 days. It was like eating a 10 oz lump of greasey batter!! Wait a mninute... that's what it was! I guess my middle-aged tummy can't take the grease like it used to...

― Child of the 70's-80's, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 18:53 (seventeen years ago)

English fish and chips are shit now they're cooked in cheap vegetable oil. You have to go to Belgium where they cook them in LARD. Lovely, lovely, lovely lard.

― DavidM, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 19:03 (seventeen years ago)

the midwestern friday night fish fry is a noble tradition

― Jordan, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 19:06 (seventeen years ago)

I'm sure it was all very tasty, but since I was the fryer, I didn't want any of it by the time I was done.

― Ai Lien, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 23:20 (seventeen years ago)

Fish and chips is one of my favorite things about no longer being a vegetarian.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 23:22 (seventeen years ago)

The fish was cut into small pieces because I couldn't afford to feed the masses:

We just kept frying things and throwing it into this box. It never got half full.

Do not tar the whole nation with your crappy chip experiences. Many many fine fish and chips can be had in the UK.

― Ned Trifle II, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 23:46 (seventeen years ago)

One time I had f&c but with SALMON. wtf Hartford, CT.

― nickalicious, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 23:50 (seventeen years ago)

I do this frequently. Usually I keep the fryer out for the next couple days and fry whatever else I have that might even conceivably be edible battered and fried.

― nickalicious, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 23:50 (seventeen years ago)

I always use cod. Suggest me other fish.

― nickalicious, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 23:51 (seventeen years ago)

Haddock can be just as good fried or battered.

― blueski, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 23:53 (seventeen years ago)

five months pass...

The cod, it always falls to teeny bits when I try to make this!

― i'm shy (Abbott), Tuesday, 3 February 2009 19:23 (seventeen years ago)

!!
Has it been thawed and refrozen multiple times?

― WmC, Tuesday, 3 February 2009 19:24 (seventeen years ago)

Frozen at least once, when I buy it from the store.
