oh yea I left Hull for Carlisle for the sunnier weather (nope) more money (nope) better job (nope) but the upside is that I'm only 3 hour drive away unlike Brisbane / Qatar? cambridge Tiger et al- so when I'm in town for a home match I make sure I get pattie and chips or the occasional fish from the best city in the UK- downside is that I'm fast becoming a fat bastard- oh well !!

Sorry to say this Carlisle Tiger but I went to Carlisle a few times over the years to watch City and was not overley impressed with the area, in fact after the match we went to Penrith for a night out before heading home. Brunton Park was not all that inspiring in the 1960's in fact most of the guys in the ground were pissing up against a wall down an embankment at half time, this was when we had the South Stand built and new floodlights, maybe I was being snobbish, but I could never take to Carlisle, it just seemed so dire, but there again we just went straight to the stadium and not far beyond, so maybe an unfair assessment.
 
A couple of weeks ago, I had the nicest Fish and Chips I've had for a long while from a takeaway just near the bus station in Filey.
I got the small fish and chips special for £3.
The fish was about as long as a regular polystyrene tray, but was about 3 inches thick and was absolutely beautiful.
The whole fish must have been a bloody whopper if this was just a section.
I am actually slavering thinking about it.
Much better value than the rip off brigade at Bridlington.
In Hull, East Park Chippy is the best but the queues are worse than getting into the KCOM.

Anyone here have the balls to order a solo patty to eat, there and then, whilst they wait for their fish to be cooked?

I never have. Usually seems to be 'builder' types who do though.

Point taken Chazz. I left 'Ull for two of those three reasons.

I'll be in Gran Canaria on Friday. Ok, I'll miss me fish, chips, pattie, bread n butter, cup of char but I'll be in a place in Puerto Mogan that gently pan fries a slab of tuna as if it's being kissed by the gods themselves, serves it with canarian potatoes boiled to perfection, freshly made mojo sauce and large, juicy canarian tomatoes with fresh bread rubbed with pungent, mild flavoured garlic. Mebbes a pint or two of lager, or a jug of sangria if I'm feeling that way inclined.


A stroll in the late afternoon sun.

Beautiful sunset.

Awe inspiring volcanic landscape.

The love of a good woman.



I'll survive.

Sounds like hell on earth Ern.
 
I may have left for slightly sunnier weather but it doesn't mean we miss out on our Haddock and Chips.....

Chumley Warners here in North Lakes, does Haddock (Unfortunately from Iceland not UK), proper chips, mushy Peas, Curry Sauce, battered sausage. It also does cod, but who on earth would want to eat some of that !! <laugh><laugh> They also have a jar of pickled eggs !!!!! Im not sure if the reason they pickle them is because no one eats them so it preserves them....

Only downside is, compared to the UK its not cheap obviously, but then again if it means we don't eat again for a couple of weeks, then thats a cross we have to bear.... Of course there are loads of easter eggs to revert to when the going gets tough.... <cheers><cheers>

Sorry to have to tell you but most if the haddock served in UK chippies is not of UK origin.
It's mainly Icelandic, Norwegian or Russian- frozen on board.

Had a battered sausage while waiting for three large haddock last week.

I didn't actually order it though, it was a freebie, as they were just closing.

They are alright but Ingham's in Filey are better (and dearer). RIP off Brid? 149, brilliant fish and chips and are reasonable, Jack's has always been excellent value as has Oggy's. Expect to pay over the odds around the harbour as those are geared to visitors not locals.

this thread is ****ing torture. you just can't get decent fish and chips around here. we'll need to head off somewhere like Aldeburgh or Southwold on Friday.
 
The day of the year when all the posters who have left Hull for more money, better jobs, sunnier weather regret their unforgivable actions!! :emoticon-0140-rofl:

Large Haddock, Pattie, Chips and Mushy Peas.
Bread and butter Cup of Tea(Yorkshire tea bag).

See what moving away does for you
 
On Friday I'll be having a nice piece of steak, with a rub of garlic. Mrs Two will once again register her disdain.

Too true! We'll be having battered flathead and chips with chicken salt at Manly for Good Friday.

It's a pale imitation of a large haddock large mushy peas and chips from Frydays

I took my son to Frydays last year when we were back and he asked for 6 calamari rings with his chips. The bloke had no response

A nice thin tail-end of Cod is just right; Haddock is too dry for my tastes. Thick Cod is dreadful. Skate is my favourite, followed by Plaice on the bone - roes in!

All fish fried in peppered flour only, none of this thick batter nonsense.

Chips not too thick or too thin, but well dried before first fry (before fish), then one more fry as plating up.

Pickled onion vinegar, light salt on a few chips, bread and butter (crustless). Runny mushy peas with just a small amount of Piccalilli alongside (snaffle the crunchy cauliflower).

Best chippy in the world - just gone to bed, bloody excellent she is!!

Other than that I'll take em as they come - with a mug of tea. Easy innit!
 
I recently went for the saveloy option (oo er missus) while waiting in the queue at Grovehill Fisheries in Beverley. I was not disappointed.

I tried pattie and chips, but it's too much potato for me, even for somebody of Irish descent.

Haddock, chips, peas and a brew. No time for bread, there's nothing left to put in said bread.

My mate goes for curry sauce. I still maintain that it shouldn't be called that, I've never had a curry that tastes like curry sauce. Now the Currywurst in Berlin, that's a curry sauce that belongs on a sausage. A big sausage. A big, German sausage.



























Penis.

Saveloy, wonderful.

That's all.
