Fish & Chips: £12 - £15!

We always have enough chips left over to serve with another meal. I freeze then and then cook them in the oven - just like all the best restaurants double, sometimes, even triple cooked chips - delicious.

My big grump with my local chippy is that we quite often choose pie and chips and, presumably to keep costs down our chippy is has moved from stocking Pukka pies, that are excellent to buying Peters pies which are all hard pastry and brown stuff and are horrible.

The best fish and chips ever can be bought in Suffolk. Aldeburgh and Dunwich.
Aldeburgh is around £10
Dunwich £14

Both delicious !

Last week while Dh was in hospital I thought I’d treat myself to fish n chips. I had plaice, chips and a cods roe. £16. Omg it was huge. Massive plaice, too many chips and a large cod’s roe. It would have been plenty for the two of us. I shared it with the dog.
Expensive for one but a good deal for two.

Our local chippie is £10 for a regular cod and 2.50 for regular chips . It's a expensive treat now , we're in South Gloucestershire, Bristol

Grannies unite,,I think you must go to the same chippie as me

Yes in some chippies Mt61 you’ll get two fish for a single! Single in a Scotland really means no chips.

The Blue lagoon is still going strong in Glasgow and in Stirling. Not sure if they’re perhaps a franchise though.

Nearly died when I opened my fish supper, two massive fish 🤣 my husband the same. We did end up sharing it with a rather hungry, drunk football supporter 😊

I am not sure as we don’t usually have fish and chips to take away but in a south coastal cafe last week they were £17 each. So £34 for two.

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.

I always try to either go shortly after opening otherwise I’m prepared to wait while they fry a fresh piece of Cod or Haddock.
I scoffed a large juicy flaky cod in crisp bubbly batter, “just enough” chips and a pot of mushy peas. all to myself!
… I didn’t realise how hungry I was😋
Partner said it was about £10.
Worth every penny imo. And beautifully wrapped with no polystyrene!

My local fish and chip shop closed down. He charged around £13 for the fish, and chips were extra. I went elsewhere (once) as he was charging £18, and it was not particularly good.

Only bought as a treat now and then as so expensive, last time was £12 each for cod and chips.

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.

Don't understand your last post, shinamae

Remember they stopped posting images at all for a few weeks because of something that had happened on Mum’s net
Now, when I put a post up, it says image coming soon, so they’re obviously being looked at which is fair enough

Don't understand your last post, shinamae

Looks like images are being vetted…

Can’t remember the last time I had it, but here’s our local price list in one of our chip shops in North Devon

We were in Paisley (quite nice area) last weekend looking for supper a couple of Restaurants were fully booked, so opted for Fish and Chips it was a good portion and good quality, over £11, the days of cheap food are receding quickly.

Our local chippy is £10.95 for a fish supper two pieces of fish..haddock…and a decent amount of chips.

I’m in central Scotland.

Is a single fish two fish there? Last time I was in Glasgow I asked for a single supper & I got two large fish. Really good chippys up the road 😊 I think that was called the blue lagoon.

Our local ones are thriving, it’s about £13 for the two of us, cod, chips and mushy peas for me (sorry Calendargirl)
Our two village pubs are also alive and well mae13 as are the sister pubs to the one I’ve been using for nearly 40 years, it’s diversified to survive. Bingo nights, weekly quiz, football, pool and golf teams/events with coffee and cake during the day, it’s a community asset.
Not all doom and gloom

There are a few chippys near me (East Surrey).
The best one charges £9 for a medium cod with a lemon wedge. I don't ask for chips because there are far too many for me.
I don't go often at that price but when I do it is always busy with customers and the ubiquitous delivery lads.
I have tried supermarket battered fish but those from a chippy have a better taste.

Don’t they do a pensioner’s size fish & chips- maybe ask for a very small portion of chips.

My fish & chips the other night was £6.90 but the fish has shrunk in size, decent portion of chips- very tasty.
Yes been to other places where it is quite an expensive meal & not always that good.

We have a great chippy downstairs opposite Sainsbury’s. Generous portions so we share. £9 for fish with small chips. If I come home and get in one of the lifts and can smell someone’s been for them, I always fancy some!

Same if I ever smell fried onions, mmn! 😁

Regular Cod and chips are around £12, large £15. We have two very good chippies here but don't use them very often these days.
