FabSwingers.com forum: Chippy

once again i have the urge for something from the chippy, but i know it's just a rip off and the food is nasty for the price. But still i have to go out at 5-ish you just know i'm hitting the chippy.

last time i got two fish and chips and it came to just over 16 quid, i could go the chinky for the same money.

For that money i want double cooked chips and crispy batter, by the time you get it home it's just a sticky mess.

got the urge for a kebab thank fuck i'm on statins.

Anyone else think chip shops are well past their best. other than the one in Staiths yorkshire i haven't found a decent chippy in years.

I'm not a big fan of fish and chips but there's a shop in Bexhill seafront(a nearby town)that I will buy from if I decide I fancy them.

Dammit you have just made me hungry!

Fish supper with a tub of curry! Baulked at that when an old work mate said it was his meal of choice from the chippy but after trying it myself it was great. Demolish one every so often

I have chippy once every few years. But today, yes, yes I could.

I won't, but I wouldn't turn it down

And a few pints in the Prince of Wales.

It seemed safer than the pubs in Aldershot where we were staying.

Lucky you they seem to price on the size of the fish near me and they use fillets as opposed to loin. more meat on a fairground goldfish.

Cj don't like fish, so we don't have chippy much.

The local garage Ascona now serve chips, and pies, and battered sausages, and burgers etc, thats' pretty nice if you get home with it quickly!

The cod is enough for 2 people, although I prefer having my own

The chippy closest to me is a total hit or miss. You either get one of the best you've ever had or dry nasty crap.

Usually get a Chinese or an Indian for that reason.

My local chippy is really good and has been there for decades. I like their large fishcakes or steak pie. Got to have curry sauce too.

I love fish and chips I’d say they are reasonably priced. I look at it like, I don’t have them everyday or every week and I can’t make them at home so it’s a nice treat

The battered cod you can buy in shops and stick in oven is actually pretty good

Whenever I watch this episode of Beard meets Food I want cod and chips, but I know the cod around here is nothing like the sexy cod in this video.

My stomach is grumbling watching him stuff the thick wadge of cod into his mouth

It's interesting to observe that the OP's use of the term 'chinky' seems to be widely admissible on here.

I'm a scrooge with chippies, I can't justify paying about 2.50 for the equivalent of 1 large potato made into chips with no colour (and no flavour) by an "award winning" chippy.

Oh please i'm talking about food not who cooks it, people are offended far too easy these days.

i rarely moderate my everyday language in any situation i don't see why i should to be fair. if the site owners wish to alter or remove, that's ok with me, but i am talking about a plate of food.

Living in a coastal town with a huge fishing port just around the corner we are blessed with super fresh fish.

I love Cod, Chips and Curry sauce.

In Paignton there is a chippy that does these thick battered chips and they are so greasy but are amazingggg!!

Sucker for a battered sausage too NOM
