Chips...battered fish, battered sausage etc
 
This makes me want to go back

Just look at those chips. There are even a few 'scrumps' mixed in. <Sigh>

Hmmmm.. Where is the newspaper? You can't have good chips without newspaper. Must be something in the ink.

"Makes me want to puke" maybe more appropriate ?:confused: Looks ok to me- not the best, not the worst- maybe you have been here too long N20 :lol:

This is best fish and chips that I've tasted, great for the local chippy when we lived in Fife near Anstruther

When I want fish and chips, I get the mince beef and onion pie and chips. Yum yum.

Assuming there aren't some stolen apples hidden under those chips, I think you mean 'scraps' :thumbup:

We had fish and chips tonight and it was, just, OK.

Never a sausage in batter, pie etc. served at our local one.:(

How can they call themselves a proper fish and chip shop if they don't do saveloys, pies and curry sauce? :thumbdown:

I googled to make sure I wasn't misremembering. Apparently they have several names, including scrumps and scraps
and there's even a BE thread from 2009 :ohmy:

I used to scrump for apples too. :lol:

Looks good.

Sadly the one near us will supply you with this monstrosity which they even have the nerve to call English style (with batter like that :eek:)

except that the chips won't look that "good" and will more than likely look as if they've been fried 3 or 4 times, reheated and then fried again.

You have never tasted good fish and chips then.

Even the ones I had in Nova Scotia (better seafood then Ontario ;), which were good but were still not as good as what I was used to eating growing up.

Oh well less then two weeks to wait until I get the real deal again :britflag:

That fish 'n chip place in False Creek isn't bad, neither is the place in Steveston.

I heard somewhere you could still get fish 'n chips wrapped in newspaper in Newfoundland - a thing you can no longer do in Britain.

Steveston fish and chips were awful when I went.

I think I went to the restaurant on the water but I can't remember it's name. Never again though
