Price of Fish & Chips - How Much?!?
Discussion
We had a trip to the sea side at the weekend and got fish and chips in Filey (Yorkshire coast). On the recommendation of a friend of my wife we sought out a chip shop called CJ's.
It cost £37.65 for four portions of fish and chips and a tub of curry sauce. The standard size haddocks we ordered were large, were freshly cooked and had great crispy batter.
It seemed like good value for what we got. The curry sauce even had raisens in, something I cannot remember having for many years.

Friend is up north and sent me this…
Fish AND chips for three quarters the price of just a fish down south.

the northern one states 'fish' wheras the southern one list the species. Fish AND chips for three quarters the price of just a fish down south.

as i have stated before northern and scottish chip shops often do this and always have as the fish is pollock, much cheaper (and more fishy - leading to mistaken belief that haddock, as scots and northerners assume its what their getting - often mislabeleld too - is tastier than cod), thats why its cheaper.

When used to boat fish and beach cast Pollock was always thrown back or used for bait.as i have stated before northern and scottish chip shops often do this and always have as the fish is pollock, much cheaper (and more fishy - leading to mistaken belief that haddock, as scots and northerners assume its what their getting - often mislabeleld too - is tastier than cod), thats why its cheaper.

I still do. I make a sweet turkey curry with leftovers every Boxing Day, always has raisins and chopped apple in it. Before I gave up meat I looked forward to it more than the Christmas dinner itself, I still make it for everyone else in the family.
How do you tell someone is a vegetarian? You don’t need to they will tell you in the first 2 minutes. theplayingmantis said:

Haddock is tastier than cod, that's not a mistaken beliefas i have stated before northern and scottish chip shops often do this and always have as the fish is pollock, much cheaper (and more fishy - leading to mistaken belief that haddock, as scots and northerners assume its what their getting - often mislabeleld too - is tastier than cod), thats why its cheaper.

Anyhow I started choosing Haddock not because of taste but due to Codling being palmed off as Cod. Over the past few years the couple of chippies I use have been using decent Cod as in large chunky flakes - it's all about texture for me as the 'taste' of either is swamped by Chip Shop Curry and vinegar
As for Pollock it belongs in a fish finger along with Whiting!

How do you tell someone is a vegetarian? You don’t need to they will tell you in the first 2 minutes. But yeah, it's just a performance for attention.
