Trevor S 2,003 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Out of all the fish and chip shops that I have frequented down through the years, I still reckon that Chippy on Wollaton Street was the best to date. Their fritters were big and golden, their chips melted in your mouth. A lot different to the dried up offerings on sale these days that have been pre-cooked in some factory before delivery to the chippy to heat up in his vats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Robin Hood fish and chip shop on Arkwright Street remains my firm favourite of all time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banjo48 928 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Don't know about our other Aussie friends, but I haven't found what I would call a decent real chippy here in oz. When I say real I mean none of your frozen chips but real potatoes chipped on site and cooked to perfection. Th english chippy's will always win. Actually had cod and chips a few weeks ago, fish was good chips were mediocre as said above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mercurydancer 1,104 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Catfan In the totally uncivilised lands of the north east cheesy chips are normal fare. I frankly find them disgusting. I know that the north easterners ( not all are geordies) are uncivilised, is because they do not serve mushy peas with mint sauce. Mind you, I have a favourite stall which I frequent outside of the Stadium of Light which serves the most delicious chips. Many is the time when I am with my step- son and the best thing we can say about the Sunderland match is the chips were good. Oh and the beer at Wetherspoons, the Coopers Rose. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisB 150 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Had a trip to Skeggy back in the summer (what summer!) There's a big chippy on the corner by the clock tower, Harry Ramsden's. Very basic, no frills, self service in polystyrene trays and plastic tables. My God, I thought, Harry Ramsden's has gone downhill, then I had another look, it was Harry Ramsbottom's! Funny thing was, the Asian guy behind the counter who seemed to be the boss didn't look like a Ramsden or a Ramsbottom! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave 48 847 Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Went in the "new look" Moulin Rouge chippy yesterday. Just as good as before with excellent service and lovely fish and chips. There was a big advertisement in yesterday's post about the Wollaton Fish Bar on Russell Drive opening on Monday after a complete refurbishment with 20% off for the first week.

catfan 14,793 Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 The Wollaton Fish Bar is my favourite in Nottm, absolutely spot on. I only hope with the refurb it has not changed hands ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Watched the Ch4 Food Unwrapped programme over the weekend. They were deep frying squid in batter and serving them with chips as per Thai style grub, saying that squid could become more available from the British coast and be offered as an alternative to cod and chips in chippys. Never one to knock a thing until I've tried it, I have bought a squid to batter for my tea tomorrow. Anyone else tried battered squid? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I had some tiny things in Greece many years ago, and they were most enjoyable. I love anything fishy....... Well almost ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
