As above :)

No eggs or onions. Our portions are generous- we love to see you full and happy.
-I prefer scraps to chips-.
Not confirming my location, busy enough without you guys coming in and quizzing me 😂

what about pea wet?

Red hot scraps loaded with salt that burn your fingertips......

Oh thought of one
How do you clean the fryers?

My own DeepFat Fryer is a 4 litre Magimix . love it , but its a bugger to clean.
Do you soak them in something or boil them? Or is it just a case of detergent and a scrubby thing?

Queef is right, proper fish cakes are a South Yorkshire thing. DH was beyond flummoxed when he moved to Sheffield.

(That and breadcakes) .

left of the fish even!

I want trade secrets to make the perfect chippie shop chips? Fresh potato or frozen? What type of potato? Cooking methods ie par cooked? Twice cooked?

Pea wet? No idea sorry!
We have cleaners in to do it. The range comes apart for cleaning.. every single night we clean everything removable. A specialist company does the rest. Hot soapy water works a dream. No fancy cleaning fluids for us :)

Fresh pots every time. Maris Pipers are well loved.
Never twice cooked- though we did have a stage of people asking. It's a ball ache so no.
We're proper old school 😀

pea wet is the juice off the mushy peas , it might be a Bolton thing?

I'm pretty close by in Rochdale x2boys and I've never heard pea wet.

No pea juice for us. We cook our peas from dried so no real juice left. I love chip shop idiosyncrasis from other places.

Star perfect chips need the Heston Bluementhal Triple Cooked Method.

My DC friends used to ask me to make them chips when they visited, they were legendary

try it Gorgeous ? tis a delicacy

Pea wet (or tomato dip/wet at breakfast time) is around in south yorkshire.

I have a big Dutch family and whenever they visit we celebrate with a chippy buffet. They seriously love it.

I can accept strange regional names for breadcakes but the fake fishcakes are just a disappointment.

I'm going to ask for it!

NOW I WANT FISH AND CHIPS. 😠

i dare you to ask for fish ,chips ,scraps and pea wet?

Do you mind when someone wants a fish with no batter? So floured then fried

Ask for paper wrap, not a tray.
The polystyrene makes the scraps sweat.

Now I want a fish and chips with scraps.

My local chippy owner told me that the scraps can spontaneously combust. They had a fire and it was due to that. She said there’s a very very slim chance of your scraps combusting on the way home.

I think I'll just call it pea juice for starters, and them bits off t'fish

Gorgeous

Ha Queef, we also have a large Dutch family who insist on a visit to the chippy when they visit!
