I'd either get Cod & Chips with mushy peas or if it's a chinese I'd get Sausage, chips and curry sauce.

I'd have a few sliced of buttered bread with it and a cup of tea with the Fish & Chips, or a glass of coke with the Sausage chips & curry.

Just Salt & Vinegar on both

we have plenty of good chippies here being not too far from Fleetwood.

Nothing. Homemade, thick cut chips and freshly battered FRESH cod cooked at home on the deep fryer. Delicious and cheaper and healthier than the local chippy.

Oh, not again, Mantey!

I get the picture, you don't like having a day off from cooking and prefer home-cooked every time. That's fine, but it doesn't seem fair to keep harping on about it when somebody else fancies a change and asks for opinions on eating out (I've seen your other posts ) .

I go to my local 'Village Fish Bar' about once every 1-2 weeks; quite besides the very unfortunate name, compounded by the reputation of the area (including a sex shop being a few doors up); what strikes me most is how few people who go there, as to Fish & Chip Shops in general in my observations, actually buy fish. Sauges, pasties and assorted other scraggy meat products are invariably the order of the day.

Cod and chips for me.

I don't like the look of anything else.

I find it interesting with the local variations on 'fish and chips' options. Hubby's from Nottingham and there it's normal to have mint sauce on your mushy peas. When I've been 'up north' on holidays you can get 'scrats' (or is it scraps? ) which are the bits of batter that fall off in the fryer.

Where we live the local chip shops close at about 9pm so they must make a good living!

Depends ... usually chicken nuggets and chips, but if it's a chippy that does really good fish and/or batter (there is one about 15 miles from me that is actually divine) , I'll get a plaice or haddock.

Mmmmm - haven't been to a chippy for aaages! Last time I did though, I was in Cornwall, and we ate fish & chips on the beach at the end the a long day there - was fab!

I'd therefore have the same as I had then - haddock and chips with mushy peas. Plenty of salt and vinegar.

My local chippy is awesome. Whenever I go, which is about once a month, I always get the same thing - haddock and chips and mushy peas for the princely sum of £4.

Chips and curry sauce. My local chippy does awful chips but lovely curry sauce, if doused in sauce the chips are edible. I like to put them in a butty with cheese

Recently came home from a holiday in the North East, My OH wanted Haddock and chips, so went into the chippy which was packed and had a sign up saying to let them know if you wanted fish when entering the shop...so OH pipped up that he wanted fish

When he got to he counter and said "Haddock and chips please" the woman angrily told him she had already cooked him Cod

OH, equally as angry stated he didnt want Cod he wanted Haddock! "but you ordered fish" she told him..to which he replied "what the hell is Haddock if its not fish"

To which she said "Haddock is Haddock, Fish is just Cod"

Can anyone from the North East tell me why Fish is just Cod, and if so, what is Haddock

That wasn't the question though was it? Have you signed up to DS to be deliberately obtuse with your responses?

I really look forward to fish and chips but end up disappointed! I now ask for chicken and chips!

Fish and chips and occasionally onion rings - but I only usually get them if hubby wants to share a fish and I'm hungry!

Luckily our local chippy, we know the owners as we photographed their wedding. They occasionally give us freebies
