I'm going to the fish and chips shop. What will you have?

[TheTecknician]

So much choice today but I'll keep it simple and traditional: fish, chips, scraps, salt and vinegar. There's two shops I frequent - never known if it's cod or haddock.

Ah my first thought was shell fish as we don't have potato scallops in Scotland.
Now that you mentioned it I have saw it on other chipper thread's.👍

Is it one of those chippies with a great veggie option?
My nearest one is rubbish! I had battered halloumi on holiday, it was lovely but I think I'm still walking off the calories now 10 months later 😅

Rag pudding and chips, gravy separate, curry separate, and a dab, please.

Come on enlighten us.. What's a rag pudding and a dab?

Grilled Barra & chips loaded with chicken salt.

Now I want it, but no one else in my house eats fish ☹️

Rag pudding is a superior form of pudding a bit like steak and kidney pudding but it's flat. And a dab is like a scallop.

But a scallop in the chippy is not a shellfish, @Kimwestonhelpless , it's battered potato and sometimes with a slice of onion inside.

Our chippy does battered halloumi and I love it but I cant even imagine the calories 🙈

Il have to give it a try as that sounds nice.

Ooh that’d be lovely!

Large haddock, mushy peas and a handful of someone else’s chips!

I'm in NE Scotland and they're not a thing.
I posted that I'd made a mistake and realised what you described I've saw on another chipper thread (chip shop)👍😁

Oh sorry, the caching didn't show me your post! (The view doesn't always update right away)

In Manchester we said scollop not scallop, but it was spelled scallop on the board.

Steak and kidney pie, chips with salt and curry sauce

A lot of chip shops, including the OPs, going by the mention of Gay Lane Fisheries, fry in beef dripping so nothing is vegetarian except the mushy peas or curry sauce.

It’s the same idea as a potato fritter here. Never seen onion in them but we definitely have potato fritters.

Is everybody full up now?

Tattie fritters.
Tarkan you must be a bit posh
Potato fritters in a Morningside accent.🤣🤣🤣

If its guaranteed to be good fish...fish, chips and mushy peas.

Otherwise a saveloy and a potato scallop or three. Doused in salt and vinegar

What is scraps?

Haha sorry, must have had my telephone voice on. 🤣 DH does joke with me that I’m posh even though I’m not really. Grew up in the west end of Glasgow then moved to Arbroath just before my teen years so I’ve got a bit of a mix of an accent but don’t really use much Scottish slang still. My friend who moved here from California is more likely to say “heid” than I am. 🤣

Bits of batter that have been left in the fryers.

Pizza crunch with tonnes of vinegar and salt and a buttered roll. Ketchup on the side for dipping.

I guess I'll have to have a mushy pea sandwich then 😋 🙃, less calories! The one near me fresh in veggie friendly stuff but it's really expensive and mind numbingly slow at getting anything out

A scollop is a slab of battered mash potato. Its amazing

A scallop is a shellfish. Also amazing
