N47HAN Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Used to be a fish and chip shop years ago in Patong near the Otop place ( opposite Hardrock ) Simons I think it was called and he moved on to Pattaya years ago ) Is there one in Phuket anywhere ? I dont mean restaurants / bars that sell fish and chips , theres plenty I know , but rather a fish and chip shop ? Cant think of one , anyone else know of one ?

LivinginKata Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 The last one I knew in Patong was next to Ocean Plazza on the beach road, but I think that one closed a while back. I remember years ago about the time Simon opened there was another way further along Rat-u-tit nearer/opposite the Patong Deli and the same people had one in Kata. None of them lasted very long.

Valentine Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 There used to be one on Nanai opposite The Hideaway. Remember the two that used to be in Chalong? Both of them were very good but nothing has popped up to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they now have decent chips? I must admit that one of the few things I REALLY miss from home is fish and chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the normal chips you buy here not home made or the thicker type But they were cooked OK not burnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinginKata Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 just make your own miles better than what u get here with some lovely proper chips and salt and vinigar . True enough.

Ping Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I find it impossible to cook a decent chip from Thai potatoes - have to use the frozen chips to get anything decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I recently had good fish n chips at Chalong Pier Beer Garden replete with home made thick style chips. I just hope they do not resort to using the crinkle cut frozen chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1fanatic Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I find it impossible to cook a decent chip from Thai potatoes - have to use the frozen chips to get anything decent. I too have tried to cook chips and failed miserably - they were pretty awful. As you say, it is the potatoes available that just don't work for chips. Mind you, the frozen chips are even worse! Fortunately there are one or two places that somehow manage to make delicious chips. The fish though, whilst fine, is nothing like the cod/haddock/plaice in batter from back home.

seaeagle Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 The old meridian hotel at the north end of naiharn beach. So, is this a "Fish & Chip Shop" / place to sit down, or is it a posh restaurant in a hotel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katasyd Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) Its in the hotel but its hardly posh or expensive. I've walked in there with no shoes and eaten. Its 280 or 300 baht for 3 pieces of snow fish with fries which is very reasonable.

Looked for the restaurant yesterday,at north end of beach We went in past the yacht club and came back slowly and could not find it There is a restaurant at the club and one further back called the Tropical Cafe Where the barrier is which had fish and chips, but we did not try them, i think its the wrong restaurant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lannatyne Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Had some lovely battered fish pieces the other day. Surprisingly, it was in a noodle shop in Phuket Town. About half way between the Expo Markets and the bank at the top of the street. The batter had a little spice to it, but was hot and crispy. Great for a fish snack.
