Slightly O/T - does anybody know of a decent chippy in the Northern Quarter / Piccadilly Gardens / Ancoats area of Manchester?
The Kingfisher on Tib Street used to be my "go to" place but that went downhill after a change of ownership and now they seemed to have closed up permanently
Thanks in advance
Try The Chip Shop on Piccadilly approach, just down from the station. Just recently opened The Kingfisher on Tib Street used to be my "go to" place but that went downhill after a change of ownership and now they seemed to have closed up permanently
Thanks in advance

i said they were not frozen, just evidences how much people lie, and feel the need to lie, both on a publicly available film (which is even odder) and the walter mittys on here.
i can perhaps understand why those of low self esteem may lie on here about certain aspects of their life, like the famous chap whose fictitious garage was called out amongst all the 'gushing fools', legendary thread believe maybe?
but why lie about f&c ffs! what do people get out of that! i guess the denigrating of a 'celeb' perhaps? eg those saying his nasty chips are frozen and the bloke who claimed they were charging 50 quid or whatever amount he made up...like the crab sandwich price on another thread on here...i dont get it!
£30ea for Fish, Chips & peas... but that was a few years ago now.i can perhaps understand why those of low self esteem may lie on here about certain aspects of their life, like the famous chap whose fictitious garage was called out amongst all the 'gushing fools', legendary thread believe maybe?

I’d kill for a day boat fishmonger round my way. Used to have one around the corner, the fish was way better, even if 3x the cost of the supermarkets.
Don't place too much weight on the "day-boat" element. It's no indicator or guarantee of freshness only that in theory (and I stress theory) the fish was landed the same day it was caught which is just the start of a chain of events before it hits the shop front. It most definitely is not an indicator of handling or quality.21TonyK said:

Well my local mongers were great, always superb quality (before I moved away). He had his driven up the same day from Cornwall. He said his fish was max 3 days old from when it was taken out of the sea, usually same day. Much better than the thawed factory ship stuff sold in the supermarkets, masquerading as fresh fish, that might have been caught 3 months ago. You could really taste the difference.Edited by wyson on Wednesday 18th October 20:19
Weatherspoons today, £2.90 for small F&C with mushy peas, when bought alongside a 660ml bottle of Asahi lager (£4.66). So £7.56 for the meal and drink.
Now I know people are going to mock the fish, or the peas, or the patterned plate, but.......it's £2.90. Was it the best I've every tased, not even close. Was it fine, and an absolute steal at £2.90, definitely.

Huge portions would only mean we have more fatsos on the street.
