Re: Best fish n chip shop around Sydney?
I just get an occasional hankering for the fish n chips I grew up on.. I'll probably find that they don't live up to my memories when I have them later this year, and I spend the rest of my life eternally disappointed
(We have a bottle of Sarsons for chips taken home, but I think I'l be appropriating some sachets for chips eaten out! Oh, and possibly some HP sachets too)

Re: Best fish n chip shop around Sydney?
I never quite get this fish an chip thing.
I get good and bad depending on where I buy them from.
Used to be the same in England as I recall.
In fact I've had more bad ones in Uk than I have here.
I loved Hollands meat pies from Manchester,gave one to my wife from Plymouth and she thought they were horrible.I had her Ivor Dewdney pasty in Plymouth and didn't like that.
It's just a hankering for what you were used to.
You've moved,it's different,that's that.

I meant unfortunately from the perspective of the OP. I quite like fish and chips here, though I really do miss smoked mackerel - one of the few fish varieties with a distinct and unique taste, and I can't get it here

Re: Best fish n chip shop around Sydney?
Yes, that is so true. I used to buy them in the UK supermarkets all the time, was cheap too. I have only seen them here once, at the Orange Grove farmers market in Lilyfield and they were very expensive. The only other thing I really miss from UK supermarkets are the cooked beetroot they used to have vacuum packed, 4 beets to a packet. Here all the beetroot is either raw or in tins, with added vinegar. Whats that all about, you completely miss the natural sweet taste.

Re: Best fish n chip shop around Sydney?
One thing I am home sick for right now is a good old bag of British fish n chips but I hear that they are very hard to get hold of and are usually cooked a different way than in the UK?
Also the problem is I come from not that far away from Whitby originally so my standards are VERY VERY high indeed, I am used to the best fish n chips in the UK!
So has anyone found a good old fashioned British style chippy around Sydney as yet?

Re: Best fish n chip shop around Sydney?
I have put 10 years of research into this topic. Sadly they do not exist in Sydney but we do have them on the Central Coast.
Darrons Seafood in Wamberal is the closest I have found to pretty consistently great Fish and Chips. Only bad news is it will take around 1.5 hours to get there from Sydney.
