CMKiwi Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 There is a fish and chip place behind Rimping at Meechok Plaza. Kellys I think its called and the owner is British. They even have mushy peas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beetlejuice Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 There maybe restaurants that try to claim their fish and chips are traditional English style, but no, there are no real authentic fish and chips meals cooked in the commercially designed deep fat fryers (as pictured below) served in Chiang Mai and probably not in the whole of Thailand. (Not as far as I know, anyway?). Somethings I have mentioned many times in the past here on Thai visa, 2 great opportunities for the enterprising business entrepreneur. Be the first to open a real traditional chip shop or creating real proper made New York bagels to sell in Thailand. It would be a first in Thailand and in my opinion an absolute certainty and a sell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 The best you are going to find in Chiang Mai is Kellys Bistro in Meechok Plaza, on the Mae Jo road,order the deep sea Cod (their description) THB 199,plus i usually order a pot of tea and 2 slices bread and butter,plus mushy peas, the batter is very good and the fish ok, regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there would be enough trade to run a proper fish and chip shop here, also finding some decent fish to fry would be difficult.and at this time of year potatoes are also in short supply and expensive. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 There is also Dee"s mobile fish and chips, that travels around Chiang Mai city in evenings,I have never tried them but he has some good reviews on Tripadvisor, visit his Facebook page for times and areas he services. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thakkar Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 bring back Charlies Fish and Chips now that was a dinning experience. Fish & Chips is to "Dining Experience" like a quickie handjob in a car is to love making in a king size bed. Though I do do love the occasional fish & chips.

Burton Road Chippy in Lincoln won the best fish and chip shop in England? My sister lives near there so I go and eat there everytime I visit her. Can't beat haddock, chips, mushy peas and a cuppa! Recommend you visit if you're ever in Lincoln ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiniyeow Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 The Red Lion just off from the night bazaar has the best I have had in Chiang Mai so far. There may be others that I haven't tried, but you'll get a large portion that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza40 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Don't know if it would be acceptable to die-hard Brits; however, Duke's on Lamphun Road near the Nawarat Bridge does a reasonable fish and chips, no mushy peas. Huge serving, four pieces of battered fish on a lot of chips, 220 baht. Haddock? Unless it's flown halfway around the world, I'd think someone is pulling your leg. It's a bit like barramundi in Melbourne, fresh is implausible, frozen far more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Noticed that Red Lion is no longer air conditioned.. Can we call this one as having joined the ranks of the 'Great in the Eighties' Chiang Mai establishments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotweiler Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I don't recall the aircon sitting high on the west wall ever worked (or at least on). I thought it was only or decoration........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish & Chips is to "Dining Experience" like a quickie handjob in a car is to love making in a king size bed. And yet the quickie vehicle-based engagements are somehow a lot more memorable.

Ulysses G. Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) I've never tried Kelly's as it is not convenient, but I don't think that Fish & Chips in Chiang Mai are of exceptional quality. I get my fix at Gecko Garden as - like most things there - the price is right, especially on Friday nights when F&C are on special. . You get a lot of fish and a decent portion of fries - not chips - with a salad for right around 100 baht. He has malt vinegar and tartar sauce and all of that stuff. Edited July 8, 2015 by Ulysses G.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) The price is right, but the portions are just too big. I would prefer smaller portions but firmer fish. Not this gooey stuff that probably comes out of a Makro freezer bag. It's no better than what the mobile Fish and Ship cart dude makes. (Nice guy by the way).

I like the Gecko but the fish and chips would be very low on my list of reasons for visiting. To add insult to injury the miserably thin piece of fish is crumbed.

mizztraveller Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 As you can't get cod or haddock in Chiang Mai then it's practically impossible to get real British style fish and chips. Similarly, it's almost impossible to get real decent Thai food in the UK. It's a sacrifice we need to make if we want to live in any foreign country - nothing's ever the same as at home!
