Fish and Chip shop recommendations

**pctechxp** · 17-09-2006, 11:04 PM

Hi

I do quite a bit of travelling due to work and about every three weeks or so I get a craving for some ol' fish and chips

You know what I'm talking about, a nice large piece of Cod with crispy batter and chunky chips yum yum.

So my question is, can any of you recommend establishments that fit the bill so that I can take a list with me?

Cheers

Anstruther Fish Bar - Anstruther surprisingly enough

Diablero's - Glasgow (just off sauchiehall street)

Thats the only 2 i've been to recently

Inverbervie chipper - Inverbervie
Ashvale - Aberdeen, Elgin & various
Zanres - Peterhead

Another vote here for Diablero's

Or the Blue Lagoon under the bridge on Argyle Street in Glasgow (ok don't actually go here as one of the worst chippies ever)

blue lagoons not too bad, just abit greasy

funny that, the 3 people that have posted to far about chippies are scots

**BUFF** · 18-09-2006, 03:13 AM

well, we get good fish

(or maybe we're the only ones up

)

& the Blue Lagoon is crap ...

The Brig, Dunfermline is great. The Rapido on Broughton St, Edinburgh is also excellent.

Townhead chippie at Penrith - a 1 mile off the M6.

Fontanas on London Road, Carlisle. About 2 miles from the M6 using junction 42.

Another Scottish recommendation.

Doesn't look as if they have many decent fish and chip shops outside outside Scotland. Must all be curry houses down there now

**harry1** · 19-09-2006, 09:24 AM

yer, obviously there are loads of good ones outside scotland but for some reason its only scottish people in this thread

Yuck i went to scotland and i they put a horrible brown sauce on my chips when i thought i was getting ketchup. Deep fried pizza though, tasty.

The blue dolphin on the St Helier Estate in Sutton. Grotty looking place in a grotty area, but great fish and chips.

You big girl wanting ketchup! Nothing beats chip shop sauce like what you got. Wonderful stuff!

Stein's Fish Bar - Padstow (by the quay), Cornwall was the best I've ever had: Fried in beef dripping, I'm salivating thinking about it. And not as dear as it sounds...

The demise of the chippy south of the border is an acute problem though, in most towns instead of a decent chippy, you're more likely to find somewhere with a really cr@p name like "Finger Lickin' Chicken"; "Nantucket Fried Chicken"; or "Krispy Bazooka Chicken", where they serve fries instead of big fat chips, and any cod they get is bought in pre-battered.

Lau's is a great Chinese chippy on Smithdown Rd, Liverpool (more for insane quantities rather than quality though).

Virtually every chipshop in Devon and Cornwall is great

Or at least they all seem that way, after 7 years of living in SE London (the land of southern fried chicken) I still cannot find a decent chippy

Back home (Plymouth) good chippies are everywhere!

Obviously the UKs extremeties are sorted but the middle is seriously lacking
