Fish n chips

[georgegeorgia]

It's only 8am and I feel like fish n chips today 

May I ask is there any place that sells the potato scallops?

Similar to the Aussie type 

 

I went to a wonderful place yesterday called Tinnies pies that sold wonderful pies but the impeccable service and cleanliness of the place was what I describe in my wonderful words of wisdom as .... beautiful.

But I'm after a genuine if I may use that word...in fact the word "specialist" ....or maybe another word to describe  a place who only sells fish n chips 

 

I did see Sharples in Jomtien yesterday,it didn't appear to have any customers 

 

Many if you recall in your fine years far far long ago we had Simon's , we had the Jolly ..Roger ? Fryer?

What happened to the British fish and chip shop?

This question is out of my league, it's one for the Pom's. 

 

Here's a better question..... 

Where can I get an aussie burger with the lot, pineapple, beetroot etc?

I had an outstanding fish n chip at the Sportsmans bar soi 13 off beach road if I remember correctly.

Cafe Patini

i don't bother with fish and chips anymore, it will never match back in the UK plus it's full of fat anyway so best avoided

Fish and chips from here 130 baht....and as above scallops....us northerners call them fritters just 10 baht apiece opens up around 6pm excepting for Mondays as a rule she is usually closed.

She has a lot of repeat customers so she must be doing something right

don`t know what she uses as batter but I,m always as horny as hell afterwards.....I wish LOL

V8 Fastlane, Soi Siam CC.

 

[Bobthegimp]

Aussies run V8s and eat meat?  Must be decent folk.

Just about given up trying to find good FCs

 

Best of an average bunch for me is Hemmingways in Jomtien, but ask for a hot plate, or they will serve it on a cold one

can't match those in the UK because the ink on the newspaper wrapping is different.

No idea I was visiting and I enjoyed it, the apple crumble and custard after it was good too! 😀

I think that died out in the 70s, followed by plain paper, then boxes

The price of fish and chips in the UK now is rather hard to swallow (excuse the pun!).  Our local is over twenty quid for one large chips and two cod.

I remember then ,did you have vinegar on it in the UK?

I know the English like this mushy peas something I don't like 

[champers]

Witherspoons on Soi Buakhao is pretty good and they do a smaller version for those with less of an appetite.

Potato scallops/fritters are known as specials where I come from. The ones on Soi LK Metro are small but tasty.

The English vary, i liked a lot of salt and vinegar, plus onion or gherkin. Over here it's just a poor imitation so best left as a good memory

[Pattaya57]

Every Friday is "Fish & Chips" day in Pattaya. Always Fish & chips specials at Nicky's, Witherspoons, Hemmingways and Frasers to name a few

Yes it seems every restaurant is on the fish and chips now 

I thought going to a specialist place would be better but it may make no difference

You could try the international hotels websites in case any of them serve fish and chips on a particular day.  Obviously more expensive if there is, but I reckon they'd make a better job of it than the regular outlets in Patts/Jomtien. 

 

Also, a traditional UK fish and chip shop will have salt (sometimes pepper) and vinegar on the counter as free condiments. Tomato/brown sauce, mushy peas, curry sauce etc., are extra. Other side orders can include pickled eggs (truly evil), pickled onions (very nice), fish cakes, sausages, saveloys and pies. 

 

A UK fish and chip shop will also serve a range of fish and not just cod (including fish roe - again, truly evil stuff). My Thai wife loves rock (cue the jokes) and invariably opts for rock over cod, but we don't have it too often because it's so expensive now.
