There's a new Harpers franchise opening in Anlaby.

They've been working late through the week - I assume to try and get it ready for Easter. I've not had chance to drive past
since Wednesday so I'm not sure if they will or not.

That's three chippies in Anlaby all within 100 yards or so of each other !

By the way I'll be tucking into Frozen-at-Sea skinless boneless Icelandic haddock.
I was one of the first in today, bloody superb it was too, the one down the road is quite nice but the batter is a bit rich with the beef or whatever it is they use in it.
 
Very true – Manc is/was rubbish for chip shops.

There was an Irish one, The Little Chippy, in Levenshulme which wasn’t bad and The Battered Cod (Withington) was passable.

Yeah The Battered Cod is OK. And The New Don in Altrincham isn't too bad. But neither are as good as anything Yorkshire has to offer.

What really annoys me about some chippies is when they proudly display posters stating that they fry their fish and chips in vegetable oil, (Battered Cod used to do that)! I mean, WTF? Beef Dripping all the way - it tastes better and is less carcinogenic.
 
I had a haddock for lunch
It was certainly a delightful munch
I had it with chips,
Extra batter bits
And washed it down with a fruit punch
 
Funky Fish, used to be All Electric, is good. <ok>
Started using All Electric chippy in early 60's (not sure what it was called then) when still at Endike primary school with my brother - used to skip school dinners on Wednesday and Friday when chippy was open and got a bag of chips and a patty for 7 pence out of our shilling's dinner money.
It was far better than the school dinners.

Wasnt that a weird name for a chippy. It had a fire in the mid 70's and shut down for awhile. My old man was always convinced it was an insurance job.
 
Aye you're right I bet.

Some sick **** just ask for three skinless fish.
At least they dont want beans with it.

The mrs just texted me to say she's setting off now an do i think there'll be a queue.
Nah i said it'll be quiet now <laugh>

If you see an angry looking woman in about ten minutes, with two beautiful but stroppy blonde haired girls say hello

Just made it out so I'll miss that reaction when she sees the queue down the street.

Only got large haddock left now.
