My local chippy in Rochester, Kent...
Medium cod £4.00
Large cod £4.60
Medium chips £1.40
Large chips £2.20
So, large cod and medium chips is £6. (note: the medium chips portion is huge, more than enough for two people)
I'm just down the road in Rainham - similar prices. Very common "2 cod, 1 chips" because they're so huge!Medium cod £4.00
Large cod £4.60
Medium chips £1.40
Large chips £2.20
So, large cod and medium chips is £6. (note: the medium chips portion is huge, more than enough for two people)
£3.65 for a generous portion of chips, fish and copious amounts of "scraps" if desired.
That's in the Leeds area and jolly nice they are too.
I got the shock of my life when I bought fish and chips in Farnham last year, it was around £6.00 each, the portions were tiny and the batter was like concrete. I believe these people need to be introduced to the joys of deodorised beef dripping.
Typical chip portion size shown below with a couple of sausages and a free spam fritter because they were closing.

From our local chippy (edge of Cheltenham)
Mini Cod 8 inches long £2.50
Regular Cod 14 Inches £3.50
Large Cod (some type of whale) £4.00
Large chips £2.20 - enough to feed 4 including s starving 6' 3" teenager
TBH I think chippies could make the cod smaller to help preserve cod stocks, I bet lots of people throw quite a bit away. (Mrs blue can only manage a mini fish (no 8 inch jokes here please
)
Fish and chip supper for 4 with curry sauce circa £16.00 or less if Mrs or I share fish with daughter

Do chippys usually charge for 'scraps'?That's in the Leeds area and jolly nice they are too.

Never asked for them, I might do next time. I'm tempted with takeaway for tea tonight and this thread is making me want fish and chips, but I can't think of any around here that are open on a Sunday (except George's, but I've heard they're not great...)
small chips £1.50
Large chips £2
Cod. about £5.
Although some places will do the 'pensioner cod and chips' for under £4, but I've never bought this.
The large cod is rather big.
As much as I like it I can't help but think for the same price I can get a huge mixed kebab.

Local pub near me does fish (nice large bit of cod),chips and mushy peas with a home made tartare sauce for a crisp fiver on a friday night. Accompanied bya local real ale makes a great friday tea.
Alternatively for about the same I can add a cup of coffee to the mix (fish/chips/peas) from our local sit down chippy, then off to the local cinema where it's £5.50 a seat, still get an interval too and a person with the ices tray.
Yep it's up north - Cumbria.

I used to live near Whitby and would eat where the fishermen ate, proper white chunky steaming flakes of cod and a crunchy batter, chips done in beef dripping with china mugs of real tea, on the Quayside in any weather. In fact, theres something so special/northern about walking down Whitby Pier on a winters day shovelling vinegar soaked chips into your cake-hole while the waves break over the rail......magic !
I'm an ex chef too which makes me pretty fussy when it comes to eating out, even when it is just Fish n Chips. It can be such a ball-ache when on unfamiliar territory to queue for a 'cone' of underdone, or worse, yesterdays warmed-through chips.....and don't get me started on the fish - greasy, thin and grey with overdone batter....
Jesus ! You only cook one f
king meal !! How can you keep getting it wrong !!!!
Having relocated though I've happily recently discovered a terrific, reliable family owned establishment serving a decent sized Cod, plenty of Chips and a choice of Mushy Peas or Curry Sauce for just £3.
All superbly cooked at The Hungry Fisherman in the lovely market town of Brigg in Lincolnshire.
Am I winning this one so far ?
£3 ?

Central Scotland - about £5.50-£7 for a "fish supper" depending on how posh you go. I did have one in Methil, Fife recently which amazed me. Bought two fish suppers and a bottle of juice and got change from a tenner - this is just a couple of miles round the coast from Anstruther too (famous for its expensive and highly popular chip shops).
haddock is standard offering in yorkshire. cod is a dirty bottom feeder which the rest of the country are quite welcome to imho. heathens don't even know what a breadcake is FFS!Adam B said:

Don't know what you mean by local as the clapham one has gone bust or closed down for good, that was Dec/Jan the last time I walked past and on the website I can't find any details of any shops that they have anymore?London innit but it's good quality IMHO and local
