Just wolfed down some cod, chips and mushy peas from Fish and Chic in Wood Lane. Bloody lovely Stuffed but satisfied.
Room now for copious amounts of alcohol. Sayonara brain cells. |  | | |

Love cod, chips and curry sauce with a couple of pickled onions thrown in for good measure, from St Elmos chippy on the Askew Rd.
I had a nice bit of trout yesterday though, so will give it a miss till Monday |  |

I like fish and chips, I’ll usually eat it once a week when I’m in town. Nowadays it’s from the Blue Oyster on Preston Rd, Wembley. Owned and operated by a Greek family who do a bloody decent job. | |

Cod, as in Cornish cod and chips...one of the things i miss the most out here. You can't beat it.
Not the same as the heavily battered mediocre stuff that masquerades as fish and chips 'up country,' usually not a patch on our Kernow chip shops. |  | | |

You can buy poutine at McDonalds in Canada. I believe they use their own fries, which doesn’t work for me as I prefer yer actually chip. | |

I tried FishXChips at the Bull Gate end of Ravenscourt Park the other day. A bit more expensive than most but excellent rock&chips plus gherkins. Highly recommended. |
had the rock at bull gate the last 3 weeks, fantastic. bit over priced but well worth the dosh.
well recommended. | |

I found an EXCELLENT chippy near me last year. Only been twice because I DON'T WANT TO DIE. But yeah chippy on a Friday is hard to beat.
I've been a bit of tw@t foodwise this last month so I'm back on the diet. Which is alright generally but on a Friday? Shite! |  |

I don't really eat much fried food anymore but when I did my local kebab shop strangely did the best fish and chips in the area. Better than the other local chippies, who are all good but the quality of the fish and chips at my local kebab shop in Luton is better than all of them. Sadly, due to not wanting to die like some others on this thread, I decided to swap out fried food for much healthier food and on some days, hardly any food at all. |  |

While a student in 1976 I worked at Geales in Hillgate Street 4 nights a week. Ate cod & chips every night and never tired of it. Best memory was the Geales Christmas Party that year. There was a sudden burst of excitement when some guests arrived late. In walked Rodney Marsh, Gerry Francis and George Best. Honest. I've got a photograph somewhere. | | | |

Great chippy, lived in Marylebone for a few years and went there many times. |
Pretty decent, that place . A bit gentrified now though . There is a cracking cafe next door to it .
Or was . Was run by a Greek Cypriot family and the most miserable Bilbo Baggins lookalike who would take your money at the till .
Proper old school food . Egg and chips to die for. Taken over by a Turkish family and sadly the quality of food when downhill. | | | |

thats the one chriss.
big queues on a friday, out onto the street.
george doing the batter...maud wrapping and serving.
the fish was superb....the chips crinkley and greasy, probably the same oil from when your grandparents had it back in the 20's. | |

Thanks for the invitation, Boston. What an honour! It must be right to say that fish and chips is better by the sea, especially in Cornwall. The fish and chips from 'Colin the Cod' in Looe (he was previously in Polperro) are highly thought of. I live in Plymouth now, where I like the very modern fish and chips from Kingfisher in Plympton. Not often though - a matter of pounds and ounces, rather than pounds and pence  . | | | |

Growing up we used to go either to Nautilus on Fortune Green Road, or Sea Shell on Lisson Grove.
Both still going! |  |

that's the one mate, volunteer pub next door. |
I was a mate of their son David...
They knew that my mum was bringing up 3 boys on her own so our "six of chips" and crackling... was a huge pile of cracking
Same as the Bolts greengrocers on Noth Pole Road... her 5lb of taters and veg was inevitably 6 or 7 lbs... great people in those days | | | |

ahh...the crackling, that was something else...everyone asked for that.
yes david would always be in there helping out, think he went a bit downhill when george died, and maud eventually sold up.
another shame with bolts going as well, all us out the suttons, parents and grandparents used to shop in there.
have'nt seen the son from bolts, think his name was john, for a couple of years now, often in the red lion and pineapple, acton, or the plough and harrow king street. | |
