I like all fish so it doesn't bother me. They are just the best I've had (that weren't my grandmothers). They cook them in beef dripping and the queue is always huge.

That's always a good sign.

We haven't been to my favourite chippy for a while because the queues are too long. Tempura prawns and chips with a side order of pickled quails eggs and a wally for me.

I'll only have fish & chips from a proper chippy, not a chinese take-away or a fast food place

It just never tastes the same

Jumbo haddock, chips cookes in dripping, mushy peas and white bread & butter.

Also has to have tartare sauce & lemon if served on a plate.

Not that I am like really fussy or anything, but I also don't like the fish sat on the chips

If it's wrapped, they have to be wrapped separately

If in a folding tray, the tray needs to be opened out, chips & peas on the bottom, fish in the top

There are so many types of fish. It took going Oop North to find out that 'fish' is all a lot of people order with no choice.

Haddock with none

(confusingly none means no batter. There is batter but just a tiny tiny amount, the fish is floured then dipped in batter and then you run your hand down it taking most of the batter off)

Wrapped separately to a portion of wet chips.

And it's the only time I have tomato ketchup.

I am so the same.

Isn't it annoying when they do the salt n vinegar when the fish is on the chips. Talk about uneven seasoning.

And yes. If an establishment has multiple offerings I won't go.. Chinese chippies. Etc

Green Lane chippy in Leigh is where it's at.

If I’m in Leeds fish cake and chips, in Manchester steak and kidney pudding and chips, Scunthorpe cod and chips with batter bits, down here battered burger or huss and chips.

It really does matter where in the country I am, as they all do different things.

Degree of truth in that, in theory the fishing should be fresh. That said really good chippies are few and far between. Last really good one I had was in Doncaster, which isn't really on the sea front.

Not many chippies do them, but if they have saveloys then one of them instead of the fish.

Otherwise, it's Cod/Haddock with chips and mushy peas (easy on the batter though as I don't like lots of batter), with salt n vinegar and tomato sauce. Yum yum!

I think it's more the sea air and the fact I'm usually eating it outside of of the paper, all adds to the romance of the experience . Fish and chips in hastings are the best, as long as you can dodge the seagulls!

Nothing wrong with fish in Manchester chippies, but those little steak and kidney puss are absolutely to die for. In Leeds they do fish cakes with a slab of fish and a slab of potato fried in batter, also the dogs bollocks. In Brighton huss (also known as rock salmon) isn’t technically fish, but a type of shark, still damn tasty though.
