Really good price for seaside fish and chips Greeno and everything looks beautifully cooked. I could almost smell it 😂. And no gacky pudding inside the batter. I'd call that result perfect.

I'm a Northerner and can tell you for a fact that was cheap as chips 😂 We can pay more than that for a smaller inferior haddock , this was cod that would easily feed two....absolute bargain mate 👍 I'm fussy with the batter and hate it too thick or stodgy on the inside due the oil not being up to temperature.....reason I always order lightly battered as you're almost certainly guaranteed a decent result even from the worst chippy. As always another add to the list for my next visit , cheers Greeno 👍

That looked delicious and now I am hungry. We differ a little bit on the subject of batter, because so long as it is crispy and not oily or fatty, then I think it is the best part. I take small strips of batter and just dip it in tartar sauce. I have a rule that every Friday is Fish and Chips Friday because I am a bit obsessed. However, I do balance the cost by keeping a tighter budget the rest of the week. I do love these seaside located reviews, so I do hope to see more of them.

you do know you can buy 10 eggs for £1.33 boil and put into some white vinegar. it looks like you can share it. the fish and the chip portion size look decent enough for the price. but you only it was half the portion and do it for a £5 you cant afford to buy the fish and chips. hehehe may be a half a portion of that size for £5 would help people out. and increase sales there

I do sometimes make my own pickled eggs and pickled onions, and you’re right, they are cheaper and tasty. But I’m not gonna walk around with a jar of pickled eggs just in case I want to the the chip shop 🤣🤣🤣 Smaller portions at a lower price can certainly help, although i don’t think it could get as low as half price, the energy costs, staff costs, packaging costs are still the same.

Perhaps it would be better to say that it's not that I don't like it, I am very fussy about it. I don't like it when it is thick and the inside is stodgy. Or when it is excessively greasy. If you saw my video where I went to Callawys in Dorchester you'll have seen I noted just how light and testy the batter was there. I am one of the few people who quite like it when the fish has skin on, because I can remove the entire bottom of the batter with the skin, and just eat the fish with half the batter :-)
