I went to Kingfisher on Spring Bank West in the end. Never been in Cave St. When I lived right near there I always went to Smithy's across the road.

Slimming world said she had to take the batter off her fish.

Smithy's is open all day on a Sunday, quite rare is that.

In my opinion it's better than Cave Street, it gets an A for hygiene and the chips are very good.

I'm hungry again.
 
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.

Loved school dinners at primary school in and even had them during holidays when they were available. Then school dinners cost 4 pence halfpenny. Later in high school took the option of missing a school dinner in favour of chips with a freshly baked bread cob.
 
Best fish and chip shop in Yorkshire by a mile... Fish Pan on Scarborough sea front!

As for back home - I may have to betray Frydays tonight and try Harper's - seen as they're both just a 10 minute walk away. Not expecting much from the patties mind - nobody beats Frydays for their patties!
 
We had a lengthy duscussion about this previously. I'm sure we ended up agreeing that it is traditional in Hull to fry in nut oil, not beef dripping. Also, the general concensus was Frydays was the best in Hull. No agreement was reached on skin or no skin. The jury was split.

We did. The beef dripping idea is a dirty Wessie construct.

I'm only an occasional visitor to Hull so I've got no chance of trying all the chip shops mentioned on this thread however when I was last there I had some from Molly Malone's on Hessle Road, which I thought were quite good. Has anyone else been there who can tell me how it stacks up against the likes of Frydays, Cave St, etc?
