steamer Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Goose's used to be best but now I'd say 1)Tropical Bert's. 2) JF 3) Simon's 4) VC last one was utter trash tho and I binned it. 5) P&W in Jomptien was overpriced and underwhelming. 6) some place on Choyapoon that gives you the scratchings as well.

wump Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) You might wanna try the 'Everyday is Fryday' place in soi New Plaza. It's 99 baht for a huge piece w/ chips. They cut down on the portion size of the chips recently but tbh I'm so full after the meal it would just be more empty calories. The (homemade?) tartar sauce they serve is really good and you get unlimited refills. Only real negative point is that they don't do crumbed. I think the battered style is a bit to greasy for me and would like the option to switch (like you can do in Friar Tucks on soi Lengkee) Edited March 31, 2014 by MaikB84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noodle Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I think 'The Village Chippy' is not bad, more set up for home/bar delivery though. Down the soi next to the swim pool on 3rd road - sort of opposite the fire station/new hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they still use frozen chips the same as their new branch on Pratumnak Hill? can't call yourself a "chippy? and use McCain frozen chips IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmac Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Went to a new place that just opened on Soi Khaonoi the other day 'Not Just Curry and Chips 3" and couldn't believe I was served frozen oven chips. Tasted like cooked in an oven rather than in fat as well. From the sign on the door it appears they have 2 other branches in Jomtien/Pattaya, has anyone tried them? Proper chips or oven chips? Can't believe someone would set themselves up as a fish and chip shop and not serve the real stuff. (The curry bit in the name is just for the curry sauce to go with the chips if you want it, no curries - The name originates from an old British Tv series) The pie I had with them was very tasty but I'm not inclined to go back unless someone can tell that this was just an opening glitch.

The 2nd one (which is always closed when I go past) is by the night market on Theprasit. I've never been tempted to go into any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughneck Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 The special nights include a choice of soup or salad. dessert, and bread and butter, nothing to write home about. I would prefer a larger fish portion in its stead, but not bad either. The fish is one filet, medium sized, cooked nicely, some noticeable grease but not excessive, the batter had a good taste and was quite crispy. It is served with decent cole slaw, not peas as well as tartar sauce but the tartar sauce is not as good as Pig & Whistle (less of the pickle stuff in it). I am not sure about the vinegar they serve at Jamesons, it is out of the regular labelled bottle so I think it is not the real deal. Their regular 'a la carte' F&C has 2 fillet of fish. The vinegar is the real deal Sarsons vinegar that we have back in England. Traditional Fish and Chips hardly ( 3rd time lucks NOPE. Thought I'd give it one more go should have know better Crinkle Chips frozen from Makro under cooked by the way, Fish was supposed to be medium a lot less than last time I think they mixed the order up and gave me a small piece instead of a medium put it this way if it was any smaller it could have been a fish finger. Batter was Paper thin very disappointed again, oh well live and Learn I guess. Last time shame really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10002000 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 By the way, hat's off to the owner of Simons Irish place. A few years ago I stopped there for some fish and chips and he up front warned me he had stopped importing atlantic Cod. He had received some bad shipments but he still had to pay for them. He recommended to me another place which was importing it. Not many owners voluntarily steer people away from their own place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deserted Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) The one I always go to is called 'The Jolly Frier' on Soi Leng Kee, just off Soi Bau Kauw.

It's English style all the way, has everything you want. http://jollyfriarpattaya.com/ Edited March 16, 2015 by Deserted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edd Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Try lilas place on the far side of Maprachan lake, top end of Siam Country club road.

Jingthing Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 It's pretty weird for me that this ANCIENT thread is still open as I stopped eating fish and chips ANYWHERE years ago.

The batter is unbelievably crispy and the chips (Makro 10mm stright cut) were ell cooked and adequate in size. Exceptional value at 99 Baht and I had the mushy peas at +30 Baht. IMO the best better batter since Goose's and the Village Chippy when it was at it's best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm told that the Blue Grenadier is good there but I haven't tried it yet. Next time I will try the blue hake. I am OK with frozen chips - especially when cooked properly. Getting consistency with homemade chips can be trcky - and it is just so much easier to use frozen as and when you need them. At 99 Baht you can't judge this the same as a gourmet meal - but, for me, Frydays is as good as anything I have tried in the last couple of years.

Makes me wince a bit, but it's less expensive than a very nasty curry at the Fisherman's on the lake. I may well give it a try when I next go up that way.
