OT - Fish and Chips

You struggle to find haddock in doncaster Barnsley and I think all South Yorkshire, always advertised but never have it in, it's all cod, some cracking chippys tho

 

There's a chippy on Skillings Lane in Brough that leaves the skin on.

 

I miss haddock chips and mushy peas from Frydays. In Sydney you can get some excellent fish and chips but they're not the same. Flathead is a very nice fish for fish and chips here...

 

I find that in Hull you get haddock unless you ask for cod.

Elsewhere you get cod unless you ask for haddock.



As for which is best.


It's haddock isn't it.

Obviously.

Otherwise you wouldn't get it in Hull, unless you ask for cod.











Personally, I prefer tuna.

Have you seen a tuna?


They're ****ing massive.

 

I always used to enjoy cod but last year it's been haddock. Don't mind either tbh. But, no skin. Why would you want the skin on ffs?

Obviously mayo on the chips....

 

My old mate off longhill used to leave the skin while last then roll it up and eat it! :-(

 

Why wouldn't you?


Weirdo.

 

I have really fond childhood memories of Belgrave fish and chips, (not sure, but think it was on Anlaby Road, Anlaby Common way). I'm sure it's long gone, but they were my favourite fish & chip shop of all time, (could just be childhood nostalgia).

They left the skin on!

 

Haddock obviously.

Eating cod is like being a glory hunter in football. Eating cod is like eating your mushy peas from a ramekin.

I can’t believe that this is even being discussed on a Hull based forum.

Londontiger should be banned for this.

 

My Dad always said he wouldn't even insult the cat by giving it cod.

 

Mayo on chippy chips?

On 'fries' possibly but chippy chips?

Unforgivable.

 

Haddock's for heroes.

Cod's for zeroes.

 

I didn't want this topic to turn into The Cod Wars

 

That was the irony.

Iceland could have kept the cod.





It's only fit for fingers.

 

I thought they were both bottom feeders?

 

It is called 53 Degrees North. Pretty good standard and they ask you as you go in what fish you want (small, medium, large, haddock or cod) so they cook it fresh. You have to ask for skinless if you want it that way.

 

Isn't it factually correct that the fishing ports kept all the superior Haddock for themselves and shipped out the filthy diseased ridden cod to everyone else.

They don't know any better.

 

Aye but haddock are more sophisticated in their habits.

 

napkins?

 

Couldn't remember the name but that sounds about right. I remember a few years ago seeing some massive fish ready to serve, so requested large haddock. I was a bit baffled when they said it'd just be a couple of minutes while they prepared the large haddock. Apparently the massive ones already cooked were only medium size. The large haddocks looked more like they'd been filleted from a Great White Shark, and I didn't need to eat again for another week.
