jippytum Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 On my last visit i often purchased fish and chips from Dee's mobile kitchen . I have been unable to find him this year does anyone know what happened to him? . Can anyone please recommend their favorite location in Chiang Mai for fish and chips thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhonKaenKowboy Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 The whole salted fish, with the green sauce on the side is almost always good....the Fish and Chip reviews are bad half the time...a few minor adjustments can make for happier dining. But, yes, the mobile FC was highly regarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobin Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I too miss Dee as he came around my corner for years, across from the Corner Bistro. Now some overpriced burrito cart is there, once a week. Best F&C, IMO, considering taste, quantity, cost, = total experience is: Gekko Garden on Friday night. A good feed for 115 baht, which cannot be beaten by any shop in north T'land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good feed for 115 baht, which cannot be beaten by any shop in north T'land. Lets correct a few of the usual inaccuracies ( so many on here!) 1. Dee has not gone out of business, but he has moved to one of the holiday islands. Sadly missed his food was good and well cooked. 2. Unless there are two, and I doubt that, the mobile burrito van will be "Border Run". If its them they charge 100 baht for an excellent and big sized burrito. Definitely not over priced, in fact good value. 3. Best fish n chips in Chiang Mai right now? (OK this is the subjective bit), Yummy Pizza, 220 baht but you get two pieces of proper cod, not that horrible tillapia fish that the cheapskates serve.

jobin Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 And precisely how to know if 'proper cod' or other fish? We ain't in Portsmouth, UK, you may have noticed. And what the hello is the difference if proper or improper fried fish? What GG serves looks great, tastes great, maybe nutritionally as good as cod and for your consideration, read this: Threatened Fish Species to Avoid Eating. With fish like cod, haddock and grouper now listed as endangered by the IUCN, many people are worried about eating them. Other concerns for divers are those fish which are associated with high levels of by-catch. And GG is in town, not out in the countryside. And GG costs about HALF the money. Case closed.

jonwilly Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Been a while since we had a decent thread on the board. Yummy is the best on offer at the moment, Kelly's was very good but he lost intrest and I don't know what became of him. By all accounts Charlie has passed on, certainly left CM. A few others try, very trying but Fish is Cod, North Sea or Icelandic and Chips should be double fried and Mushy Peas can only be made from Marrowfat none of the mashed peas foster on us by many. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EL159 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Sorry to say, Papa Rock not a patch on Yummy. Everythings always slipshod at Papa Rock cos Nickys in the kitchen cooking, bless his heart, while that dippy (drugged up?) ex of his is out front not seeming to know what the heck is going on! Papa Rock charges 250 for fish n chips, including mushy peas. Yummy charges 220 but no mushy peas. Last time I went to Papa I got no mushy peas "dont have today..." but I still got charged 250! For me both the way the fish is fried, and the chips better at Yummy. Papa Rock uses those horrible big fat chips from a freezer bag which are quite unsuitable for fish n chips.

Well, I do need to try Yummy then, Papa Rock Friday Special on F&C are 125 /150 ? Baht and I found the chips were very good, not sure if they're frozen as they have the skin on and tasted good, the mushy peas and tartar sauce were good as well.

Agreed, friday special 125 instead of 250....but you basically only get half the amount of fish, hence the half price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I've said, I will try Yummys, but the Papa Rock special is adequate for me, two pieces of fish, chips, mushy peas, tartar sauce and salad. I'm 5' 10" and 15 stone and the special does me for lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy Joe Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Try "Oh Kajhu" https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g293917-d8564135-Reviews-Oh_Kajhu-Chiang_Mai.htmlA Maybe not academic recipe but for 200 b with the fresh fish fillets, perfect tartar sauce and everything plentiful. Porc ribs are fabulous also in this place where many posh Thais goes every evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
