Davy’s Fried Fish bar at Beamish Museum. Truly epic chips cooked in beef dripping on a coal fired range by people in fancy dress.

10/10

My local chippy, Farndales in Woodlesford Leeds are great, again cooked in beef dripping, the only way to cook proper chips!

Poutin in Canada is pretty good too though, take cheesy chips to a whole new level!

'M Pommes' in Wiesbaden, Deutschland from when I lived there.

It signalled the start of my weekend so that may have helped but they were bloody awesome with ketchup and caramelised onion on.

Petes Chippy - Grenoside. Handy for any Greno / Wharncliffe riders but not open Sundays 🙁

I lived in Hull for a bit.

First time I came home from the pub drunk, I bought some chips. The man put what I can only describe as magic chip powder on them, absolutely brilliant!

Apparently all chips are served this way in Hull, the locals call it something, i can't remember the name.

The chippie in keswick near blacks, mainly because id spent a most miserable wet cold morning walking and was heading to buttermere for a nights camp. I was very hungry and i had two bags, was easily the best i'd ever had although my mental state could have been questioned!.

Oooh no, I'd be scared to venture in. We used to go for an evening stroll and a tray of frites to see the 'sights'.

As did a number of Belgian OAP coach parties, oddly enough.

There's a pub the other side of Greggs too. And you can sit down and have a beer with your chips in the Keswickian. My cup do truly runneth over.

Its as if God herself had become a town planner

My Nan used to make lovely chips, but since she is sadly no longer with us the Pilton Fryer, Barnstaple is second best 🙂

Mort's Fish and Chips, Caerau Square late 1970's, coal fired range with lard and proper news paper that got your hands dirty

With the bonus that the Station Hotel next door sold Brains SA

Happy days 🙂

A tiny little fritte stall in Amsterdam it's down a maze of back streets and re-finding it is half the fun. Lashings of fritte sauce mmmmmmm.

I don't know what kind of taste buds some must have on here...the Old Keswickian is the worst chip shop I've ever been in! I'd forgot how bad it was and ended up there not long since, the chips were green, the sausage was fake (smoked) and didn't taste how it should have! I promptly threw them in the bin and and went to the other chippy down the road.

EDIT: I may have imagined it, but do the employees in there wear white welly boots? 😯 😕

+1 for garlic fries, surprised they haven't caught on in the UK yet. Now that the wild garlic is in season I must try them again.

Chilli Chips... on the sun deck at the bottom of Bear Mountain, Big Bear Lake, Southern California... watching Shaun Palmer in the Boarder Cross while listening to Cyprus Hill play live.

That really was a great day .... thanks for jogging my memory 🙂

[url= http://www.thebayfishandchips.co.uk/ ]My local is officially the best in the country.[/url]

Excellent chips of course, and they quite often have fish other than Haddock* on the menu which is great.

*For some reason many Scottish fish and chip shops sell Haddock rather than the Cod you get in England.

But I'd love to try those dripping cooked chips.

Haddock are more predisposed to independence. In fact a lot of them list their favourite film as Braveheart. And they're this big...

You mean Southern England; it's haddock all the way in Yorkshire. It's the proper way, and it's all done in dripping too.

Belgium. Tripel frittes - goose, duck, then horse fat. Apparently, dangerously good.

My mum used to cut potatoes into 1cm slices. Cover them in a light batter and deepfry. Wow! potato scallops we called them, just delicious.

Our best chips are from Marple Bridge Fryer, very posh place, with crispy on the outside and fluffy in the centre.

The best chips come out of my kitchen. Real potatoes rather than this frozen nonsense, lovingly hand-peeled and cut by my fair hand, and cooked in a real chip pan.

I made salt & pepper chips the other day. Slightly undercook the chips a little in the chip pan, then transfer to a wok with shredded onion, diced green pepper and finely chopped garlic. Season with sea salt, black and white pepper, and Chinese 5-spice. Stir-fry till it's all cooked through. Nom.

You mean Southern England; it's haddock all the way in Yorkshire. It's the proper way

A proper chippie will give you the option.
