Must be plenty on here that love a good chippy tea so what's the best you've had?

I went to Pepper Lane last night in Shevington/Standish and it still stacks up as the best I've had. Perfect fish, great batter and spot on chips. They let you stick as much Salt & Vinegar as you want on (I usually have plenty) and the staff are really quite friendly, not something that can be said for the chippies in St. Helens.

never been to a good one in my life, perhaps because fast and typical cheap food doesn't lend itself to 'gourmet'

In the railway station at Mallaig, best haddock I have every had.

Incidently, am I alone in finding 'haddock' to be a particularly amusing word?

I cannot remember the last time I had any quality fish and chips .
How much I pay does seem to make any difference either.

I have now given up until I am recommended a good plaice locally

I know one!!!

Ok, I am biased but he does win lots of independent awards and is a perfectionist. He is committed to being as good as he can be.

W J Rowe in Stevenage.

(also does lots of charity work for the community the shop is so that has to get a vote too surely!)

Bizzie Lizzie's in Skipton is by far the best I have ever had.

The fish & chip shop in Fore Street(?), Beer, Devon.
As a kid in the sixties it was superb. Revisited a few years ago and it was as good as I remembered.

I've never heard of "chippy tea" before. Is it a variation of builders tea? (ie. quite a strong brew) ?

I live within a five minute walk of two award winning chippys. I think fish and chips in general are massively over rated so I rarely go to either of them.
