Spaniel Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 There is a Fish & Chips place on the left side of Soi 23 (coming from Sukhumvit) about half way between Sukhumvit and Soi Cowboy. I think they have been there for quite some time so based on that I would assume the F&C's are pretty good but is their anyone who has eaten there recently that can confirm this?

supaprik Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 The Off Shore, Many of the British lads swear its the best in Bangkok, I myself tried it last week and thought it was rubbish!!! to each their own but I guess it's worth a go if you are hankering for something that tastes like home!!.. I prefer Bradman's Bar opposite The Off Shore, nice menu and no grumpy old codgers lurking about.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBD Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Proper authentic stuff. I'd guess the owner is from Lancashire. I did have one pretty shoddy pie & chips there once, but otherwise it's been good whenever I've been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigt116 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 While I am no expert, I have been in there a couple of times for a big feast and thought the food and the value to be really good, (especially the value) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseTommy Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Easily on a par with the British fish and chip place in soi Rambuttri by Kao san. Only ever had one bad meal here and that was around songkran, so i dont judge to harshly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardenedSoul Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Save your cash and try the Ship Inn British pub 50m further up the soi. Lovely cod with crisp batter and fat, crispy chips. Comes with tartar sauce and ketchup and they'll do take away as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurnell Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Chips with gravy and vinegar. Sensational Thats as bad as ketchup on pizza Totally unrelated. Ketchup on pizza is doubling up on tomato sauce. Vinegar adds tart to the gravy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post khunron13 Posted August 7, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2012 I've eaten there many times after a night on the town at SC. I then decided to eat there one day while sober and I almost puked! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whistleblower Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I've eaten there many times after a night on the town at SC. I then decided to eat there one day while sober and I almost puked! Totally agree. The only reason they stay in business is because most of their customers are pissed when they eat. Its nothing like a British chippie, food awful, service awful, decor awful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryp Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 was in there last Saturday could not believe how dirty & smelly (dirty water smell not oil) the place has become, looks like a definite case of lost interest to me as it never used to be like that. Pity really as it offers a good change to the regular food around 23 One thing that always got to me was the staff asking for a tip on takeaways !!!!!, but saying that ive seen tip box's on 7/11 Counters.. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soi Sauce Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 For the quality of the fish, not the chips though, you're better off at the Manhattan Fish Market at Terminal 21. There's another Fish restaurant in 21 too, which has excellent fish'n'chips at a little more expensive then Offshore. Best in Bkk by a long shot though is Sam's place, just off of Soi Convent near Silom. Google it, Well wotrth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange thats just how i remember it 10 years ago-the last time I went in. Real shame there seems nowhere you can get really good chips, unless anyone knows better.

teatree Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 The food was pretty good when I used to go there but I stopped going due to the overall lack of hygiene. Its a shame. Would still go there if it was clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brotherother Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Fish (cod), average. Chips, poor. Taste-wise I would NOT be happy being served these fish n chips in the UK. The best in Bangkok? Certainly not, but I agree prices are low. I go there often though - drunk and sober - for their bacon sandwiches and reasonably priced pints of Westerns(?) cider.

radster2212 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'd go there just for the cider then lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge2bridge Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Yes the fish inn, not as good as it was. The last time i was there the fish was soggy. A good indication that the oil was not hot enough when it was cooked. I tried o my cod, but it was the same. Also on soi 23 is the Queen Vic( opposite side of off shore), The fish was better, but still not perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgarfriendly Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Their chips are awful, their pastry for their frozen pies is AWFUL! Staff are typical tourist area attitudes, borderline beggars/scroungers. Whoever owns the place could probably quadruple profits if the food & staff were improved. The food should be easy enough, the staff i'm not so sure. That's if he wasn't poisoned the day after he finished paying for it all ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
