Whats the best chippy in your area?

Millbridge Fisheries in Heckmondwike, next to Millbridge W.M.C. has in the past few years pushed its way past The Golden Fish (200 mtrs up t’road) to become the best chippy in the Cleckheckmondfax area. Although i will still go to the Golden Fish to see the bearded lady that serves, she dunt even try to hide it or owt, just wears it wi pride- Go on lass!

Midgley’s on Butcher hill , West Park , Leeds.

you know how at some chippy’s the fish is good but the chips crap or vice versa , well at Midgleys they’re both good and you get a decent portion too.
We normally get 2 adult portions, 1 kids, a fishcake (i.e a slice of fish between 2 slices of potato battered! not to be confused with a pattie which is a mash of fish and potato in breadcrumbs 😉 ),a portion of battered pineapple rings and a chip shop curry sauce for just over £13.
The more they see you the bigger the portion of chips seems to get too.

We have two of the top ten in the UK in our village (depending which competition you enter) Linfords Traditional Fish and Chips and The Boundary, both in Market Deeping, one only 75 yards from my front door, which is a problem!!!

The Boundary is the best chip shop IMHO, but Paul Linford who owns the other one comes riding with my group every week.

In North Wales, Rob’s in Pensarn nr Abergele– he’s also a keen roadie

The Bay Fish and Chip Bar, Stonehaven.
Stellar haddock and chips, choice of the champions!

*Westhead Chippy, Croston, Lancs (local to me)

Others I used to frequent (a little too often sometimes!):

*Foster’s, Alderley Edge, Cheshire (award winning before you get all indignant about its location)
*Frankies, West Didsbury, Manchester

Mine’s Jumbo’s in culter too, though wish it were the Bay in Stonehaven (the fish platter every time).

Francine’s, North Prospect Road, Plymouth. Also if you go any time after the middle of November they have a lifesize moving talking/singing Santa to irritate the bejeesus out of you whilst you queue. Oh yes, and there is invariably a queue (for a good reason).

Awesome!

Definitely the best chips I’ve had for a while.

Where I used to live – The chip shop, Stafford St, Norwich.
Used to live about 20 steps from there & it took a lot of self discipline not to have more than one a week, especially as as its slap bang in the middle (about 50 steps either side) of 2 pubs. Miss it & the area loads..

Where I live now (& where I’m from originally) and my favourite chips in the World – Rossi’s, Swansea. Best chips ever.

Riveresdale Fisheries in Cross Hills near Skipton is very good. Far better than any of the ones in Skipton.

I lived in Guiseley a couple of years ago and that had a couple of really good ones, one on Victoria road that seemed to just open in the evenings and Springfield fisheries that was open at lunch.

T&J Fish and chip shop on sandbanks road is worth a shout too if you’re in the poole and bournemouth area!

The Frying Scotsman is very handy/bad to have just down the road

Frydays in Whaley Bridge is good, as is The Village Fryery.

Sounds like i need to try this ” the bay”

Now most vomit inducing fish and chips – thats between one in durham which was also a chinese ( never a good sign) and the one in laurencekirk which i used once and vowed never to use again even if i was dying

Damn you all!

I want, nay need to go to the chippy now!

Seafresh, Wilton Rd, SW1, by the way.

Battered sossij on the way home, methinks…!

No ones mentioned upton chippy the last coal fired chipshop. Fryed in lard and located in a old cow shed.

Bloody hell, is NO ONE from Burnley reading this thread?

Trawlerman in Drighlington on Whitehall Road, just up the road from Leeds. Stuff of legends.

The classic” Trawler”! What about the Mermaid, Morley?

Wombourne fish bar, Wombourne.

Smiths in Swindon!

I have noticed one thing about this thread, the very West Yorkshire bias. As a Yorkshireman, infact born and bred Leeds bloke I have come to realize you can’t get good fish and chips outside West Yorkshire, no I’ll go as far as saying outside Leeds.

Nuff said, we need go no further.

Heathen. You’ll be suggesting Tingley Bar next 😉

I beg to differ in that when in england ive found although the Chips are passable in some gaffs fish is almost never fresh.

How ever the best one was in wales near cwmcarn, the fish and chip shop had neither fish nor chips . Ironic really . I was so hungry though

Harbour Fish Bar, Amble, Northumberland

Mayo Fish Bar, Brookwood – not stellar but just a good honest everyday chippy.

In Yorkshire the fish is definitely fresh, very fresh, so fresh it will eat the **** chips

Within two minutes of my house is Sams Chippy, great chippy and you can buy a large chips for £2… enough to feed a family of four! Back ‘home’ I would ride 15miles for a portion of chips at Lloyds in Lampeter. Yum

trail rat where was that chippy? Used to live right at the bottom of the scenic drive and the closest good chippy used to be in Cross Keys but it changed hands and went from brilliant to ho hum.

It’s weird, I too believe that Leeds has the best fish n chips in the world, even better than the ones from the coast.
Apparently, there are some good ones up in the NE too near the coast.

There’s a few good ones near me – as long as they cook in drippin’. The bad ones are few and far between imo.

Crosskeys sounds about right , was next door to /atrached to a chinese

in some gaffs fish is almost never fresh.

Now here’s the problem , fish for fish and chips shouldn’t be too fresh as it’s too wet which means its a bit mushy when cooked. It should be left for a day in the fridge to dry out before cooking (my family used to run a chippy when we moved back to Leeds in the mid 70’s)

Aye but it shouldnt taste ” fishy” either

Old fish tastes different to reasonably fresh fish

The shop closest to the a9 in aviemore has always been guilty of this

You end up with fish that tastes like the harry ramsdens crappy frozen fish

Wee hurrie at Troon harbour. About 25 yards from the fish market. Top stuff.

Kim’s Plaice on Frimley High Street is excellent. Light and crispy fish and proper tasty chips.

Bloody hell, is NO ONE from Burnley reading this thread?

I can nominate Church Street chippie, the Abbey Friar and the one on Infant street up from Mannings (Jeff Ellis), all in Accrington, if that’s any help to you?

We’re spoiled for choice in Accy, one of the few things it’s got going for it.

As a Yorkshireman, infact born and bred Leeds bloke I have come to realize you can’t get good fish and chips outside West Yorkshire, no I’ll go as far as saying outside Leeds.

I obviously need to investigate some of the suggestions here, as without exception every chippie I’ve been to in Leeds has been rank.

The Crispy Cod in New Mills did the best fish and chips around when I lived there.

I now live in NZ and in 18 months have found only one chippy that doesn’t do McCains frozen chips. Very disappointing.

Yeh Pook!

New Cod on the Block for the win. (Sheffield)

There’s a coal fired chippy near my folks which must be pretty damn old school. but ive never been. (Lincs)
