Fish and chip shops closing

[Slab]

These takeaway prices seem higher than a bunch of the costs in the recent thread about cost of lunch/dinner in the clubhouse

Missis T once had fish and chips in Cleethorpes. It was the first time I have ever seen Albino peas. It was £6’s worth of rammel.

Are you sure it wasn't the locals you were looking at? Bit odd over that way.

5 fish and chips for around £50 is pretty normal fir an ok place, a decent place expect nearer £60.

Most over rated town I ate in was Peterhead, very average, had better in Bridge of Allan

Only 2x F&C, 1x Macaroni Pie, and two kids suppers, canna mind fit they hid

You should have gone to Steel's or Beckett's across in the road, were always the local's choice when I visited family years ago, I always remember my grandad saying to me, 'never buy fish & chips off the shops on the front, they are for the tourists'.

We are lucky in Bexhill as we have 4 or 5 decent fish and chip shops.
Hastings has loads too. Proper fish and chips, some of the shops over there have been in the same hands for donkeys.

A few haven sites have done away with chippys and replaced them with burger kings. ?

The one we went to didn’t have a BK. Our 9 year old was not happy as we were expecting one. It did have a Papa Johns though, which was decent - and good value.

Pah, it’s but a fish Goujon.

£9.50 for a haddock supper in my local chipper. Two bits of fish because that’s the rules. Peas are extra. Balsamic vinegar and pink Himalayan salt because I’m posh.

If you're posh where's the cutlery?

Slightly out of shot and yes the box is also on a plate. ?

Batter looks a bit thin on there for me. But a hefty portion all the same. Not a criticism just personal taste

We are going to be in Weymouth next week, and Fish and Chips at Marlboro's are on my to do list. Apparently, based on a friend from weymouth, that's the best place worldwide. Been there about 7 years ago and it was good then.

Otherwise we don't do fish and chips a lot. Our local used to have queues outside, now they only have them on national fish and chips day. They also took the word quality out of their name. I think there was an owner change.

I prefer Bennett’s just the other side of the bridge. You’ll have to try both

What??

Do you remember when fish and chips was served on greaseproof paper and wrapped in newspaper?
Then the EU banned it on health and safety grounds due to concerns over ink poisoning.
Tasted best in the Daily Mirror with the added bonus of reading something daft while eating.
Plus another use I won't mention.

Another Brexit lie

1990 food safety act by the British Government was responsible for that.

Turns our it wasn't! Post 77 has the truth rather than a myth.

So re the original question are fish and chip shops suddenly closing in your area?
They don’t seem to be around here yet anyway.

If they are not then you need to use them frequently over the coming months else they could well be closing given the possible cost of electricity. Though unfortunately our custom might not actually help as they may not be able to keep the fryers powered up and have to close anyway. Grim.

btw…it’s always haddock for me (or an occasional haggis supper when north of the border). We have a couple of excellent chippie take-away/restaurants in town. We don’t use them much as we tend to indulge in F&Cs when out and about…or on holiday.
