Learn how to cook - or get a GF/Wife that can cook.

You sound like the expert…. Do you prefer your grease in breadcrumbs or beer batter?

MUM!!!!!!

THE FOOD POLICE ARE AT THE DOOR AGAIN!

Plenty of fried fish available but likely to come with fried rice instead of fried potatoes. A little sprinkling of nahm plah pik and good to go. Just ask your date where to go.

All great chippies had these, Alomost impossible to get good fish and chips, the potatoes have be either Cyprus or King Edwards, and cooked in lard or beef dripping, 

I keep looking and try places here in Phuket, one day hey?

Maris Piper another good spud for chips, there's a chippy up here in Chiang Mai that uses beef dripping 

The old original pig and whistle used to have good as did the place next door.  Simon was it?  he stopped serving cod from overseas because the quality he was getting was bad and good or bad he still had to pay for it so he stopped the hit or miss of it.  Pig started using thai fish which can be OK but is not Cod.

Looks very nice to me.

That's retarded.

 

You'd pay that in the States / Canada for a much superior meal.

And maybe get catfish!

The best fried fish I ever had was salmon and halibut in Victoria, Canada. Why don't they use salmon here in Pattaya? Would be a bit more expensive but well worth it.

The Pig and Whistle used Dory - cooked properly, it's ok - but many places under cook it and it's awful  ...

 

The place next door was Rosie O'Grady's .....

 

What is this? 

I grew up on this kind of food. if you didn't have enough cash, it would be chips on it's own, liberally sprinkled with salt and vinegar. A bit more cash, a Saveloy or fish cake. Cod, Haddock, Mackerel, Rock Salmon... But where are the pickled onions, gherkins, pickled eggs?

Steak cut and frozen chips? Stop it.

My local chippy was run by a Greek Cypriot. Salt of the earth. Served the community with generous portions.

Have you ever had Fish and Chips in Cyprus? There's a place in Limassol, The Fisherman's House; the fish is literally as long as an arm from hand to elbow. I think we paid around 10 euros or thereabouts on our previous visit. Have photographs as evidence. Girlfriend with her arm alongside the battered fish.

Current price in my neighbourhood is around 570 baht for fish & and a standard portion of chips.

Chips on their own 150/190 baht. Small pieces of fish with a portion of chips 340 baht.

 

That's fake money and inflation for you.

As a Southern monkey who lived in the North of England for over 40 years before moving to LOS, I missed the Rock Salmon/Dogfish of the SE of England, nothing better than that with pickled onions, used to get some of the vinegar from the onions to use on the lot, excellent stuff.

Yes, in fact the onion vinegar was a separate condiment he would have for us to choose.

I'm like that with salad, as a garnish with Fish and Chips in a restaurant, yuck.

Looks good and Prime/Vic always turn out decent products.

 

 

When I had a restaurant in Isaan I stopped doing cod because of quality and pricing issues. Obviously, everything is frozen and paying 500 Baht a kilo (frozen) turned into almost 1,000 Baht after defrosting and cooking. 

 

Our biggest seller was beer battered Pangasius with chips and mushy. We used MAKRO crinkle cut chips(12mm I think)  for consistency - I much prefer your hand cut chips but I couldn't guarantee the Thai cook would turn out the same quality every time. In those day a 4 x 250g frozen pack was 145 Baht - much less now.

Looks good, tried the Pangasius before I found the Cod loin, I found it to wet after defrosting, but it's ok if you can't find Cod, chips to me are easy, but then again it's only for me, and they must be done in Beef fat, which I get from Lazada.

To do it as a business, show them once how to do it and Thai's soon pick it up.

I use my own beef fat, from when I slow cook beef and then cool the liquid in the fridge. Chefs know not to waste anything, if at all possible.

You must have been cooking a lot of Beef, all my roast Beef dripping goes on toast, lol

I should have had greater confidence in the Thai kitchen staff but was this rural Thailand and they have no natural feel for western food.

 

Our place started as a coffee shop doing English breakfasts. The menu developed over time and one day I was at my computer and I fancied fish and chips. I Gooled beer battered fish and chips and BBC recipes came up trumps. After two miserable attempts the wife’s sister (cook no1) said “Go……I do…”.

 

She did, and the result was excellent 🙂

Too health conscious to slap it on bread just like that. Kept as a rare treat these days. Have just slow cooked some more beef for twelve hours, so more good stuff to go into the freezer, whilst the beef can be used in a variety of dishes.

Oops...wandering off-topic.

Don't worry about going off topic a little bit, happens on most threads on here, lol.

Secret is to cut the fat off the juicy part, after it's gone solid, then it's ok in moderation, and as you said, dripping for deep fat frying.

Nice! I could eat that now.

Makro is selling some pretty good Cod Fillets in their frozen section, 117 Baht a kg for Atlantic Cod, buy a few beers, get the chip pan on, beef fat or Pork Lard, go a bit exotic and use some Tempura, fantastic!

Took Ta next to DK Beer Town on Third Road.  I think she also runs the kitchen in Moggy's Bar and Guesthouse just off Buakhao 15.

 

If you or your friend is familiar with Pattaya you may know of her previous stall on LK Metro which was well frequented.

Went to Moggy's Bar 3 days ago and was disappointed. If I come to Pattaya again which is rarely I will avoid this place
