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.

Just as well,7pages of chipper suppers would be a few grand.😃

TheTecknician · 04/07/2025 20:12

When did curry sauce become a thing with f&c? I know it's popular but I wouldn't want to try it. My Mum used to have mushy peas and tomato ketchup, which I also couldn't abide. And I'm not being a food snob, I've just got more traditional tastes.

My 'go to' chippies are The Little Fisherman and Gay Lane Fisheries.

Sausage supper please.

GameOfJones · 04/07/2025 20:19

@Madcats yes, the gravy is usually similar to Bisto!

TimTheEnchantress · 04/07/2025 20:29

Chips, cheese and gravy with plenty of salt and vinegar please!

Diversion · 04/07/2025 20:34

Babies head (steak pudding) and chips please, salt, no vinegar. Oh and if they do potato scollaps I will have one of those too. Can you ask that my babies head is left in the foil tray as they always seem to put them upside down. I like to peel the top off, eat all the filling and then the outside case (not the foil obviously).

LindorDoubleChoc · 04/07/2025 20:45

Small cod, small chips with salt & vinegar please.

@Diversion I'd love to be able to go into a chipper and ask for a babies head supper.
It's not a thing in Scotland,is it a regional thing where you come from?

upinaballoon · 04/07/2025 21:00

Haddock, a few chips, and mushy peas, please. If you're letting me sit in I'll have a milky coffee with sugar but if you're bringing it round I'll have the salt and vinegar and tartare and tomato ready (different tastes catered for) and make a hot drink when you get here.

MilkyBarsAreOnMee · 04/07/2025 21:00

Haddock supper, salt and vinegar. Wish scraps were a thing where I live 😥

Radionowhere · 04/07/2025 21:01

Fish. Chips. Salt. Vinegar. And tartare cos I'm dead posh.

TheTecknician · 04/07/2025 21:15

Sorry everyone, no tartare sauce. Both shops were sold out. You can have mustard or soured cream.

Lightly battered haddock, chips, and mushy peas please, with lots of s&v. May I have a can of dandelion and burdock too please?

Brightmoonlight · 04/07/2025 21:38

I seem to be showing my ignorance of local delicacies tonight.
Where do you live to get mustard on F&C please?
Soured cream? Is this Scotland as well?

Jumbo battered sausage, chips, curry sauce and gubbins with a tin of dandelion and burdock please.

Battered pineapple ring

I think you just made that up! And since when did chippies have mushrooms?

must be Scotland or somewhere Northern

My chippy does battered mushrooms, battered pineapple, battered haggis & battered Mars bars. Can you guess which country I'm yet? 😏 (no scaps though & rhe chips aren't a patch on my childhood chippy)
