Fish & Chips: £12 - £15!

£5 each. 😎

I don’t eat cod but love battered haddock and it’s a treat for me to buy fish and chips in Scotland where haddock is the norm and you have to ask if you want cod!
Fish and chips is still cheap compared to other take away options. I don’t remember it ever being cheap. As kids, we only got fish as a v special treat. We had just a bag of chips, possibly a battered sausage or a potato scallop (thick slice of potato dipped in batter for the uninitiated).
Sea fishing is still a difficult and dangerous job and many species are overfished. Fish shouldn’t be a cheap option and even buying and prepping it at home is not a cheap meal.

I live in Luxembourg. Known for being expensive
Small 100g €13 = £11.30
Large 200g €20 = €17.40

It is a food truck.

You'd think it would be cheaper in Devon, 🌊 , but our prices are on a par with Shinamae's.
£11.75 for haddock and chips.

£ 15+ at Darts Farm but beautifully cooked and a large piece of fish too. Go to Greendale on the F&C special offer day and you can get is for around £10 but most places are around £12-£15 now.

Considering I've just had a sandwich and a pot of tea at a cafe in the Lake District for £18, I don't think it's only the fish & chips that are highly priced now 🤔

At my local chippie the portions are huge, normal cod and chips at £12.30 is plenty for 2 people. They also do a small cod and chips for £9.70 and an OAP cod and chips for £8.80 which is still huge and too much for one person. It's a shame they don't make them a bit smaller and cheaper.

My local chippy does what they call a light bite for £6.90. You get what I call a regular sized fish, chips which are usually too much for me and your choice of mushy peas or curry sauce. I went to visit my Mum and got a regular fish and chips from her local place to share as she doesn’t eat much which cost me £10.

I’m getting hungry reading all this and I have left overs that must be eaten tonight… really aching for fish and chips now!
Grrr
!
( South Wales here where good fish and chips runs into about £9- £12 …depending on which chippy I go to)

Gave up on fish and chips after trying most of the local chippys and got so fed up of soggy batter and non fresh fish. Now only ever have them if go back up to the Yorkshire coast or a very good place about an hour's drive away. Such a shame as do love them as a treat.

My Rock Eel and chips in Hertfordshire is just over £10. It's such a big portion it does two meals so I think it's good value.

We have several fish and chips near us, but our preferred shop charges £11:40 for a large fish supper ( which fish and chips is known as it Scotland). The food is made to order and has never let us down.

Local ones in our area are between £10 + £15. Although they don't all specify if it is Cod .

Went in Weatherspoons and had delicious Fish and Chips, including a pint !!! grand sum of £7 , it was lovely, cheaper than eating in .

On the south coast, seaside location. I had fish and chips on Friday £17! The chips were £4.15 (for a small portion) and the cod was £12.45! Not a cheap meal now, although it was absolutely delicious.

Anyone else remember asking for six penn'rth (no idea how to spell that) of chips as a kid?

Hi
Everything has gone up from the cooking fat,the fuel ,the wages,the rent You name it 😢

In our local chippy it's 7.50 fab fish and great size for OAP

Fish and chips a treat now for us and my grandchildren these days

I can get a small fish and chips in the nearby village at lunchtime for £6.50 I think but a full size fish with half portion of chips - still more than I need - costs £9.80 at my local chippy. I often get chicken and chips instead as it is much cheaper but depends if I'm feeling extravagant!

Two portions of "senior" fish and chips at our local chippy are £14. They are enough portion wise.

But fish and chips now in some pubs near us are £19.95 per person.

Pub meals now are for high days and holidays. Or if they are running a special offer.

I now buy cod fillet and dust in flour, egg and proper breadcrumbs - delicious served with air fryer chips. Don't want to get the chip pan back out too messy.

It's very expensive locally too (greater London) and even more so in the local pubs, though delicious. Portions aren't so generous as they used to be either - probably better for our waistlines though!
I also generally cook our own in the air fryer now, some of the frozen fillets in batter are a bit mean, I prefer to choose from the fresh fish in batter in M&S and Waitrose.

Every Friday night I used to be sent to the chippy for fish and chips for four, and extra chips to be divided among five of us. I usually met many of my classmates who had been sent on the same errand! I’m guessing there are few families nowadays who would buy that amount. I remember the chips were either 4d or 6d per portion, and I think fish&chips may have been 1/3d!

We are in the Midlands, and pay £12 for a large cod, and small chips. (The chips are actually a good plateful! So we share.)
And this price is delivered to our door. There are cheaper shops, but we choose a prizewinning restaurant. We only treat ourselves a few times a year though.
However, Tesco do 4 battered cod fillets for about a fiver, and they are lovely. Proper fillets of fish, not mushed flakes like some. DH has a few oven chips, and I have homemade coleslaw/salad.

North London £16, just looked up our nearest.

We're lucky enough to have a fish van calling to our door every week. We're in North Notts and the fish comes from Grimsby. It's not cheap - buying meat would be cheaper actually - but it's always absolutely fresh and top quality. I think fish and chips from the chippy has gone up because fresh fish is now quite pricey. I don't like chips much except when we are down in Sidmouth and one particular cafe serves perfect ones.

Large cod ( we share a portion) £9.60
Regular chips 3.20
Curry sauce £3.05
Hertfordshire prices !!
