Fish fritters is what you're talking about. Strangely enough they are excellent when accompanied by curry sauce.
Young Bob's across from Bass House does them and they are really good in a breadcake with salt, vinegar and them floaty onions. Nice and clean looking batter with a decent slab of fish in the middle. Nowt like anything from mucky Bob's (RIP)
I used to get a fish fritter spesh from coltman street chip shop, fritter, chips, mushys and gravy. A bread cake to mop up the gravy and one to put the whole fritter in.... I’m ****ing salivating right now.. food memories are always the best...
I remembered! It wasn't your prompt that helped though. We called the fritters because there weren't regulations about those. We also did meat fritters which were essentially large slices if Spam cooked in batter. I have no idea how our customers survived long enough to come back for more but they did. Of course, nobody had heard of cholesterol then.
Ha ha, I was just about to mention spam fritters, all you rich ****ers who could afford fish. Deep fried spam and chips for us.
