My dad always had cod, you had to order it before the counter at Barratt's on De La Pole or Chesney's on Albert Ave. It's haddock you have to order down here in the south.
Clanthorpe Rd Well born in Beverley, but parents lived on Anlaby Rd before living in Orchard Park. I joined the RAF so have traveled a fair bit, and now live in darkest Cambridgeshire. It's not like I'm a glory hunter supporting the Tigers for the prestige...
For me, the ultimate roll call is fish, chips, patty, scraps, salt, vinegar, two large pickled onions, plenty of bread and butter and a large pot of tea.
As much as I love mayo, I could do this too. As I've gotten older I've tended to go off salt, used to cook with it, pour it over chips etc but not so much nowadays. I do love owt pickled though. Horsham is right too, if I wanted haddock down here I'd have to ask for it, and as I prefer cod why would I?
Patty, Chips, Mushy Peas & Scraps & a cup of tea from anywhere in the East Riding. Outside the county i've never had owt decent. Mayo is just wrong.
Not fish and chips, but today I went into Salisbury for a day out. We went to a very nice looking hotel for a meal. Ordered ribeye steak and chips. Wife had Surfvand turf. They forgot to cook the chips for both of us!
When the waiter brought them out he walked backwards until he was nearly out of the dining room slowly bowing like Basil! I actually paid because for all of its ****e service the steak was spot on and worth the money. Fish and chips down here can be dire. Coming up to Hull the difference in the fish is massive. Never ask for fish and chips down here,, you could end up with river cobbler.
Even though I now live near the coast the fish and chips just aren't the same down here and I'm yet to find a southern chippy that sells gravy. Always include a pickled egg myself.
Large fish (haddock, every time), chips, pattie and scraps with loads of salt and red sauce all over the chips but not on the fish and a breadcake (not bread roll, not a bap or any other bullshit words for it) with a can of D&B is the perfect meal.
I finally found a Sunderland chippy today and the bloke looked at me like some alien race when I asked for a patty. Gutted.
ISTPLT. 'For £2.50 you can't complain if you get ill' Quote of the week. With that logic you'll go far in this life my friend. It's like those scores on the doors. The ****er could have an E- but if it's cheap the boy Galante is in. I'll deal with the food poisoning tomorrow. Real men don't acknowledge those ratings, in fact next time I see one I will openly wipe my arse on the card it's printed on and ask for my food to be served on it. Unless it's chips and gravy, or curry. That'd be silly.
for me its - Haddock and chips with scraps - plenty of salt n even more vinegar on the chips n scraps , i sometimes like some thick cut white bread to bury it all in a sandwich - i dont like ketchup but it somehow tastes OK on my haddock in a buttie
Better idea. Next time Firthy and the international tigers are in town we should all go in there for lunch before the game, ordering individually and all ordering beans. See how far down the queue we get before he loses it.
If old man Chesney was prepared to serve cod then, in my view, it is proper fish. Old man Chesney, anyone remember him? I could almost swear he was still frying at 90!
LOL same happened to me many years ago when in Otley, had relations there, the guy behind the counter took one look at me and said ........... 'you're from ull'
