My closest ones don't.

Yes, but they still lose that crispness of being just cooked.

Ok, well the next suggestion is the good old fashioned fishmongers. Dover sole is really pricey, I hadn't realised.
My 'death row dish', a choice of:
- Full English (the full works including fried bread)
- Roast lamb dinner with tons of veg and my mum's roasties.
- Proper thick, rare as you like, ribeye with fries, mange tout and little sweetcorn.
Roast chicken with all the trimmings.
Simple and unadventurous I know, but that's the meal I always look forward to the most

A dying breed I'm afraid unless you live close to a fishing town. I'd have to travel over 35 miles to find a good one.
When I was a kid there were loads but for some reason the British went off fresh fish, god knows why.

Thats the one for me
The perfect Chinese roast duck and Cha Siu roast pork served over perfectly cooked rice with perfectly cooked greens between the rice and meat sandwich, with a side order of Amoy style noodles which is kind of greedy as that's big enough to be a meal on its own.
With another side order of almost everything else on this thread, partly because it all sounds delicious but mostly to stave off the moment of ending the last meal.

Battered and deep fried bolognese pizza in a stottie with garlic and chilli sauce poured over it, ive had a few times drunk and sober and its lush!
Listen up, because here is zee winner;
2 slices of white bread, on 1 slice you start with a fried egg, runny yoke. Then on top of that you have a bed of sliced sausages. Then on top of that you have 3/4 pieces of bacon, with alot of HP sauce.
Put the 2nd slice of bread on top, push down, squeeze everything together, and wallah!
Perfection.

Certainly sounds like a belly filler
I see you are from NE England but that meal does sound Scottish

Are you referring to Scotland? At least one takeaway does. It was on an Anthony Bourdain program.

ive been to at least 6 in various parts of scotland that do.
I really dont know. I love soooo many different meals.
I suppose i would have:-
Starter - potato skins with melted cheese
Main - a perfectly cooked steak, chips, mushrooms and maybe a drizzle of pepper sauce,
Pudding - Banoffie pie with vanilla ice cream

Chinese beef curry. Also not really a 'meal' but I love Salt and pepper chicken wings, so I'd have that and a huge beef curry as my last meal.

OMG I have to say that sounds divine! Yep I think I'll change my choice to yours.......I'm salivating as I type.
Halloumi baked in lemon and garlic for starters, with baked courgettes, artichokes, aubergine and mushrooms.
Melanzane di involtini (with passata and topped with mozzarella), with cubes of potato and onion, baked in the oven.
Followed by baklava, all with champagne.

A whopping great portion of Greek Moussaka with lashings of real Spanish Cava. In my dreams it would be cooked and served by Monica Galetti. Perfect. 
A roast dinner - but only cooked by my mum, or at least the way she cooks it.
Roast beef, fiery horseradish sauce, yorkshire pudding, potatoes roasted in olive oil and butter, mashed swede and carrot, cauliflower, proper gravy. I'd like stuffing with it too, even though it's not traditional.

Hard to choose between Steak and Chips and a Curry but I think I'd go for a King Prawn Dhansak with rice, lamb samosas and a Keema Paratha. And a few pints of Deuche De Longueville cider to wash it down
home made macaroni cheese and home made chips (macaroni cheese has to be covered with grated cheddar then grilled for 10 minutes until brown and crispy)
ahhhhh I could eat that every day
