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

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.

Fish cake and chips please.

Civilservant · 04/07/2025 17:41

Only Scottish fish and chips allowed - white pudding supper

LarrySherbert · 04/07/2025 17:41

Plaice and chips please. Haven't seen plaice on offer in years.

Since this is fantasy world and I don't need to consider the calories or saturated fat, please can I have a deep fried pizza supper with curry sauce on the chips?

Fish chips mushy peas and curry sauce please and a can of vimto.

Oh i love Vimto I've not had it in ages

TheTecknician · 04/07/2025 17:42

I note the popularity of mushy peas and curry sauce. Not to my taste, I admit. In Yorkshire, I understand dandelion and burdock is a common accompaniment to f&c. I liked it as a bairn but couldn't drink it now. I remember it sticking to my teeth!

BTW, the fish must be skinned, whether cod or haddock.

PS. I never said I was paying!

Rock eel and mushy peas please! And a zero calorie cherry Tango.

muddyford · 04/07/2025 17:44

Haddock and chips, please, fried in beef dripping. Vinegar on fish but not on chips, thanks, just salt. Scraps would be good too but not mushy peas - one of only two foods I really can't stomach.

murasaki · 04/07/2025 17:44

Small cod and chips, mushy peas please. More salt and vinegar than you think is reasonable.

Pebbles16 · 04/07/2025 17:45

DH is out tonight so just small fish and chips and scraps, lashings of vinegar, some salt and some Tizer please (do they still even make Tizer?)

putitovertherefornow · 04/07/2025 17:45

Cod & chips with mushy peas please, and hold the salt & vinegar, I'll put it on myself.😁

fromthegecko · 04/07/2025 17:45

Steak pudding and potato scallops.

soddingspiderseason · 04/07/2025 17:45

Sausage, chips and curry sauce please. Nom nom

NotMyRealAccount · 04/07/2025 17:46

Large haddock, mushy peas, and could I pinch a few of your chips please?

DeathMetalMum · 04/07/2025 17:46

Pie ans chips with gravy and curry sauce. I'd like the sauce in pots though as I don't like to mix them. Plenty of salt and vinegar. A jumbo sausage if there are no nice or hot pies.

spanieleyes · 04/07/2025 17:46

Yes, definitely fish, chips, mushy peas and scraps with salt and vinegar, washed down with dandelion and burdock!
if only I wasn’t on a diet 😭

AgnesX · 04/07/2025 17:46

Large cod and chips thanks. Be generous with the vinegar!

spanieleyes · 04/07/2025 17:47

500mileslong · 04/07/2025 17:47

Scampi & chips with lots of salt & vinegar, tartare sauce and some mushy peas.
Although I haven’t had a battered sausage in years and this thread is tempting me….

Lucillebatwings · 04/07/2025 17:47

Fish and chips with gravy on the chips. Salt n vinegar.

Haven’t heard of scraps before?! I am Scottish and we have fritters here, assuming it’s similar.

whatdoidonowffs · 04/07/2025 17:48

Cod (no skin) chips with scraps on the chips plenty of salt and vinegar and bread and butter for a chip butty or 2

Edited

Scraps are the random bits of batter they fish out of the oil, @Lucillebatwings

So you get bits of crispy batter scattered on top of your chips if you ask for 'scraps'.

Dearg · 04/07/2025 17:51

Haddock Supper , no vinegar, tartare sauce and a pickled onion please.
