So which is the best chippy in town? I've had the cod from Fish and Ship and Black Swan. Both very good, fish seemed fresh and the batter not overdone. BS is a bit pricey though. F&S at 240b for a nice thick slab of cod and mid-size serving of chips seems a good deal.

Others?

sizzler do a great tasting cod and chips.

I'm not sure if F&S is the same place but I quite like the Fish and Chip shop on Soi Sukhumvit 23 opposite Jasmine Tower. 240 baht. Couple of time I've found the batter a bit thick and heavy and the chips are always from those waxy potatoes that have that slightly rubbery texture. I wouldn't say it's the best, maybe best available in that vicinity.

Sizzler use cod???? I think you will find they use a thin slice of catfish heavily crumbed. I had one last week, lunch time special. It was disgusting.

Snapper does nice food, but it's not really proper fish and chips as the Brits understand it.

they used to have pretty decent chips - for bkk - but went recently and they were using flavourless and strange textured potatoes. still it's better than frozen chips.

Battered fish served with chips seems a pretty close thing.

To be fair in my opinion its the best you will get in Bangkok but I'll admit I haven't been looking too hard.

Give me steamed or grilled fish in Bangkok any time over that greasy mess.

I can see why you'd think that, but a proper chippy is a whole different ball game. I've never come across anything close. That place on Soi 23 kind of looks a bit like a real chip shop, but to be frank I don't think I want to eat anything cooked that close to Soi Cowboy.

.........That place on Soi 23 kind of looks a bit like a real chip shop........

And, aside from the malt vinegar, that's where the similarity ends 5555.

The batter on the fish is quite heavy and absorbs a lot of oil. The chips (and bear in mind you only get about 8 of them!!) are pre-fried (as they are in many chip shops) but they seem to screw the process up there. Add the very waxy texture of the potatoes they use into the mix and the chips are about 2 out of 10.

Sam's is the best by far. For vibe, design, service and food quality, nothing I've had in all my time here is better.

Breadcrumbs?

Oh dear, no.

This is the offering at Superfish in Surrey, just to give an idea of what Soi Biker is likely talking about....and no I've always had a mug of tea with it honest!

I thought that place has gone downhill -if possible- since the English guy sold it on to the Thais. Looks nicer but portions are noticeably smaller and staff didn't know what they were doing.

looks alot like what you get at snapper.

The devil is in the details as they say.

Like I said, I like the food at Snapper. But it doesn't help with the craving for proper fish'n'chips.

What then is this "proper fish n chips"?

Served in a wrapper on a freezing cold night after a few pints and eaten on the way home?

What I posted above can be taken away in a wrapper as well and is one of the best examples you'll find in the London area.

Proper British chippy fodder. Your example looks more like it than anything I've seen in Thailand, for sure.

Looks like proper British chippy fodder to me, just missing some mushy peas and gravy

I favour the curry sauce option myself.

Mushy peas and. curry sauce are good options too...so is a pickled onion or two.

Perhaps not the "best" but maybe the best deal for hungry farang might be Hooters all you can eat fish and chips offer on Frydays:

Looks a good deal. Like you say, you'd need to be hungry!! Not sure about the all you can eat Nachos deal. I think I'd pass out or throw up before I could eat 800฿ worth of Nachos 555.
