Haddock & chips & mushy peas & scraps. Tell them to do plenty of salt & vinegar but I know it won't be enough so I'll add more at home.

I had F&C on Sunday which was great but in Kent so no scraps - they never know what they are when I ask outside the North so I've given up trying, interested that one poster said you can get them, maybe I'll try again. I once asked in North Yorkshire and got a massive bag of them, what a great day.

So many posters saying "fish" rather than a particular species !
I'd go for skate or rock salmon, & a wally.
I'd love proper chips, they always seem to be soggy from chippies.

I'm in west central Scotland, we only have haddock as our choice in the chippy

Rock Salmon isn't a thing up north

Gluten free haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce!

How far north? If I was in the area I grew up in: steak and kidney pudding, chips, mushy peas and gravy.

Here: a sad, disappointing fishcake, chips and curry sauce. Southerners don't understand proper chippy food Sad

I agree. And the dirty heathen buggers leave skin on haddock 🤢

DaenerysD · 23/02/2023 18:55

Potato scollops!

Deep fried pizza supper with salt vinegar and brown sauce.... Heart attack on a plate but oh so good!!

Catspyjamas17 · 23/02/2023 18:56

Chips and gravy, mushy peas and a smack (scallop).

Santasoorplooms · 23/02/2023 18:57

White pudding supper and five pickled onions

Bigmummaof2 · 23/02/2023 18:57

Chips cheese and curry sauce with a crispy Morton’s roll, a pickle & irn bru. If I’m feeling really greedy I’ll have a single sausage on the side haha!

incitethismeetingtorebellion · 23/02/2023 18:59

Deep fried haggis and chips and a can of irn bru. And scraps if there's any going.

TheBirdintheCave · 23/02/2023 19:00

@Yesthatismychildsigh Ohhh this tripped me up on my first visit to a southern chip shop 🤢

Chatterboxy · 23/02/2023 19:00

Haddock & mushy peas, no chips

Park road fish bar in Hythe used to do scraps if you're anywhere near there.

HiccupHorrendousHaddock · 23/02/2023 19:01

Small cod and share a portion of chips. I'll have mushy peas because I feel obligated to have a vegetable but I don't really like them. I'd like astonishing quantities of vinegar and artery hardening quantities of salt.

Yorkshireinlondon · 23/02/2023 19:02

Pattie chips scraps and chip spice please!!

Marmunia10661975 · 23/02/2023 19:04

Vegetarian burger. Chips must be cooked separately!

Caramelandsalt · 23/02/2023 19:04

The skin is the best part .

A fish cake in a breadcake with a splash of curry sauce and if I get what I'm actually asking for, I'll know you're fairly close to where I am.

I know where you must be. Oh how I miss those fishcakes from my student days!

Fuckstix · 23/02/2023 19:07
