Fish Shop Friday Thread #2

Went to the chippy in Fence Houses tonight and like a good atheist I had mince pie, chips and curry sauce, asked for batter anarl.

Sorry, I didn't fancy fish.

Mind the dirty bastard in front of me got kebab meat and chips with curry sauce on top.
 
Ida's fish bar Burton road. Lad who owns worked in fancy kitchens so a posh place. Haddock £9 each you get tartar sauce and gerkins and lemon no choice. Our lass had peas, she is f***ing eight and a half months pregnant you f***ing argue with her.
Also only sarsons vinegar that's the bad news.
Chips were fantastic lovely and crisp and fluffy with just the right amount of crunchy ones. Fish was high quality and moist but no skin. They have never heard of batter I'd guess.
Then the star of the show. The mushy peas cooked with ham on the bone in. I know it goes against everything we stand for but Fuck me it was marvelous with the haddock. Till the peas a 7 after a 9. #fishshopfriday

I need to find the name of the place so nobody wastes their hard earned there, other than that it my one word review from my previous post is all that is required.

Moxey's Fish Bar - Clapham South

http://www.moxiesfishbar.com

The extractor fan was giving its smell out to the street, normally this would be a good thing as the smell is enticing, it wasn't so I was already on the back foot. There was also a fella washing the street directly outside, brushing away god knows what and then coming back in and under the counter with brush.

Anyhow, I was there with other half and I was informed it was decent. 3 Cod and chips were purchased, batter neither offered or requested.

Fish was cooked to order so I am marking this as a positive although personally I am happy for mine to have sat for 5-10 mins. It was 6pm on a Friday night so cooking to order seemed a little extreme.

Fish and Chips were served in one of those box things, not a fan but apparently a way of the world these days. Chips were rank, not uncommon in London as they have not got a raging clue.

Good size portion of fish, batter was firm and broke nicely when the first incision was made. Fish was greasy rather than oily, probably the latter but felt like the former. Loads of the aforementioned shite chips which were left with around a quarter of the fish portion.

No pictures, 3/10. Don't go there if in the vicinity. Get a kebab or something.

Suck my welt @chunkylover53

The worst shop in the north east is probably better than the shops in London that southerners rave about. I have tried hundreds and the best ones are the ones that use dripping snd they are few and far between.

Oh fish lord , I ask you this.

Is there any around me in the Burgess Hill area (Jupps) that use dripping?

I've been up north many times following Brighton but have always been a bit pissed when eating fish and chips. Even kebabs taste good to me when I'm pissed.
