OMG... A chippy sarnie, those hot chips in a cold butty sarnie...double decker!!!
Cob or roll so long its got chips on it, then dip it in the mushy peas...

What will I do first...its bloody obvious by now aint it..???
Its not fair I wanna fly now, now and land next to a chippy...pubs can shut
Early...but not the chippy....I think I am losing it, yorki, or lanc help send me
A chippy in the post, no londoners or ami should reply.

If it is fish and chips it has to be haddock. Goodness, I so miss haddock.

Can I ask seriously why you are planning on returning to the UK as you seem totally in love with the US?

A lot of the Chippy's around here seem to have forgotten how to fry a decent bit of fish. Either that or they're too busy catering for all the other options. Minging tasteless stuff all sloppy and dripping in grease.
The best Fish n Chips I've had in recent times was from here :-

Monkfish in beer batter,crispy chips ... now you're talking !!

Haddock, to die for.
( sumat different B&Bs smoked haddock and poached egg for breakfast)
Skate great fish, too many bones, like all flounders.
But again we have gone too far, the thread was not itself about chippies..
I went over the top to stop the USA, UK mud fight on free or not to free.!!

Mind you only we Brits can get their teeth into a good ol' FISH n CHIPPY,
conversation..Here I want to thank the original threader of " what will you do first",
I might just find an excuse to say to my wife, we should visit England soon,
Chippy, chippy, chippy,...pork pie,, pork pie .....I'ma cumin

I don't think he has ever lived in the US otherwise he might actually know what the US is like!

I'm not planning on returning to the UK anytime soon. Whatever remotely gave you the idea I was, especially given you'll see I've just filed for my green card here in America.

That certainly makes a lot of sense.

Oh I dont know, probably because you are replying to a thread about what you will do first when you get back to the UK in a forum devoted to those returning to the UK

Snap! I always make a beeline for skate when back in the UK and will when we return but I don't get the bones bit. Skate bones (actually cartilage) are ever so easy to remove simply by scraping away all of the lovely flesh in three seconds.

No bones to deal with in this restaurant classic:

Skate is not so common now in the UK in restaurants or chippies as it is endangered but there is always (thornback) ray.

Yehhhh, but if its battered and your walking down the street and fingerfooding it.
THE BONES OR CARTLIDGE get in the way, but.....still love skate.
Though I would normally go for haddock. When chippying and walking.
At a sit down If they had skate in batter, yup I'd go for skate and scrape.
Where is that yorki lass and lancs girly, I was hoping for fnc in thevpost this
Morning

In some states in the US, you can get arrested for being a haddock-lover. We in the UK are far more liberal-minded.

I am leaving my wife...I am going to marry an Haddock, so I can eat the kids, I will
Have a flounder for a mistress, and skate on thin ice.
Will have a mushypea life, and spice it up with sauce and curry.This is getting out of control....its a Batter of life or death.
