Seriously shocked at the cost of a fish and small chips supper in our local takeaway . £12 for a haddock and £4.50 for small chips . Hampshire based but even so 😩.

Because it doesn’t heat up well. Because it’s not exactly healthy so no need to save it. I used to be fat by treating myself as a dustbin and not wasting food but not any more. It’s already wasted.

Fish and chips heat up well enough, especially if you have an air fryer. It just seems mad to order far more food than you will eat - 2 or 3 portions would have been more than enough, and then throw the leftovers away, plus complain about the cost. Unless you've never had fish and chips before, you must have a good idea how much you'll get and whether you can eat a whole portion, which few people could anyway, they're well known for being enormous.
