The very best fish and chips are to be found in Grimsby and surrounding area. I hardly eat them now sadly.

Paul I’ve had great fish and chips in Scotland. In the Shetland isles and Tailenders fish bar in Edinburgh which is sadly no more.This could get more heated and controversial than a political post
Get thee to Anstruther!! Or Polmont. Yes, sadly the Tail End on Leith Walk has closed its fryers.Paul I’ve had great fish and chips in Scotland. In the Shetland isles and Tailenders fish bar in Edinburgh which is sadly no more.
Damn this thread: bottle of Taittinger Prelude in chilling and will be strolling up to buy the fish and chips in an hour or so.

I was very underwhelmed by Anstruther sadly. But there are Greta fish and chips to be had in Scotland. Especially as I prefer Haddock !Get thee to Anstruther!! Or Polmont. Yes, sadly the Tail End on Leith Walk has closed its fryers.
I'm surprised. I suppose everywhere can have an off day. What went wrong? My grandson and I travel over from south of the river 4 or 5 times a year and have never been disappointed.I was very underwhelmed by Anstruther sadly.

Fish club was good!Best posh F&C experience was the heady days of Fish Club near clapham junction. Helped by the champagne-sharing forumites I was there with but they really did do a great job - mackerel and snapper IIRC.
Now best for us is a place in claygate parade. Large cod really means large cod and it is excellent and always perfectly cooked, but the best bit is the chips, which they always manage to cook to perfection . So many 'chippies' get this wrong and sacrifice speed for correctness. worth the wait, although difficult to resist in the car on the way home!
ones breakfast croissant 'a l'anglaise' (with butter & marmalade.....).
There's a wonderful artisan baker in Ferguslie Park, Paisley that does them. You have to ask specially though as they are made to order. Not tried with last night's remnants of Sauternes but they are great with their own roasted, freshly gorund, Peruvian coffee beans.I'll have to try the croissant a l'anglaise
Provocative fella….Those fizz 'n' fish events at the Fish Club were marvellous. I recall one evening where we were all roaring with laughter. Mark P commented that champagne drinkers had more fun than claret drinkers and it was certainly true that evening.
I should imagine the Claretistas wouldn't disgree, but perhaps would say that their enjoyment was on a higher plane or something....Those fizz 'n' fish events at the Fish Club were marvellous.

I love that there's such a thing specially created! I simply meant as the english would have their croissants (ie with butter & marmalade, which i'm sure the french would consider utterly unthinkable!). The marmalade & buttery flaky pastry go incredibly well with well aged sauternes though...There's a wonderful artisan baker in Ferguslie Park, Paisley that does them.

Is it the kind of posh artisanal place where you have to bring your own Paisley briefcase?There's a wonderful artisan baker in Ferguslie Park, Paisley that does them.

I guess if you accept the premise (!) of the article, then people are "eating around" more these days - so Pizza, Chinese, Indian, etc. Not sure if "posh" F&C offers anything new. I reckon just doing decent chunky fish and properly cooked chips would enthuse hungry brits to increase the preponderance of F&C in their takeaway rota.Am I the only one that thinks F&C doesn't need 'improving'?
