Ahh, Indian, that explains it. Most curry houses in the UK are run by Bangladeshis.

Re: uk style fish and chips FOUND IN PERTH!!!!!!!!!!
I tried the new place in Kinross tonight. What a disaster. The first problem was finding it as there are no signs and it looked empty from the road. When I walked in I was presented with the menu (only about 10 things and no choice of fish type at all) and was then told they had run out of fish. A fish and chip shop with no fish FFS!
So I ordered nuggets for my daugther and sausage for me. The nuggets were tiny and hardly cooked, the sausage - well lets just say I can't see any bloke eating something that looks like that! Then to cap it all the woman serving put about 10 chips on each that had been sat out for who knows how long. And yes, the chips were the beefsteak type but they were still out of the freezer, half-cooked and soggy. I can't tell you what their fish is like obviously.
I threw them in the bin and went up to chippy on Edinburgh Drive instead.

OK
the chips are defo not stuck together ( just dont put s & v on untill u get home, that prevents that ! )
the chips are more like fat chinky shop chips, as ive had the chat with Indy regarding the chips. He tells me its a nightmare to get the chips like he had in his shop in the uk, and the best he could do is inprove on the frying stiuation.
he fully understands the nightmare of chips, but ive tried his and forget king eddies, and the others as his are great. the oil he fries in in a low fat, low monosaturated oil. BUT JUST GO FOR THE BATTER, ITS JUST LIKE THE UK.
we also laughed at the idea that aussie chippies ask if you want chicken salt on the chips and never have salt and viniger pots on the counter.
Kinross is around 25 mins from cbd ( 15mins if your a P plater ), come off Marmion av, on burns beach, left onto connely drive and you cant miss the Iga.
Tell Indy Chris sent you !!!!!!!!!!!
oh and yes proper curry sauce
AGAIN THIS IS JUST LIKE THE UK, NOTHING RESEMBLES THE CRAP AUSSIE CHIP SHOPS, sorry to shout but u aint listening, just go and try it ffs

Re: uk style fish and chips FOUND IN PERTH!!!!!!!!!!
This is my first post , I was checking to see if I had went to the correct chip shop tonight and came across this thread , Once I realised I had , I am afraid I had to have my say. Sorry.
We went to this New Brit chippy tonight , and I would have to say it is the worst fish and chips we have had since coming to Australia.
We bought Two kids fish and chips and Two Adults . Cost nearly $32
The chips looked like soggy re-heats and tasted like it too, and I am pretty sure the fish was from last night too , as the batter was dry and was a dark brown colour, the fish tasted ok though, nothing great, but edible...but not one of us would eat the chips , they were rank rotten....We were so dissappointed, as we had heard about this shop opening soon some months ago and were keen to try it, so when we passed by tonight and it was open we were in there like a tramp with a free dinner ticket.
Anyway if he wants to stay open for long he will have to lift his game a bit , cos I for one will not be going back in a hurry

Re: uk style fish and chips FOUND IN PERTH!!!!!!!!!!
I avoid Fish and Chip shops now as I can't work out whether I need to ask for grilled, fried (and there's another option too - crumbed?) to get my freshly cooked shark covered with a slather of batter and I don't want the owners to think I am a stupid Pom.
I have to wait until I am with mates then just have what they're having which is often something like Blue Grenadier.
There is a grouse shop down the hill.
