The boy goes in at 10am and batters/part cooks everything and then puts it in a fridge or worse leaves it in the window box above the frier all day so when you go in at night its sitting there 10+ hours. You can peel the batter like a banana. They dont see anything wrong with this because its apparently "the traditional way" And dont even bother asking for brown sauce. Chips are nice but. Are you going to finish telling us about the chips, or what? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolphin is decent, but we should really be aiming for Anstruther levels of chippery, rather than being merely a level above Glasgow. I'll bring it up at the next hustings Sea Salt and Sole is decent. Only been to the one in Dyce, but supposedly they have shops in Cove and Bridge of Don now. I got a fish supper from Lows at Berryden (more fool me) a few months back and it was bowfing. Edited July 23, 2023 by Cyclizine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been through this so many times. Deep frying a fish is not a complicated process. Firstly, you fry to order. Don't do it in advance. The batter needs to be of a good consistency. The temperature of the fat/ oil should be circa 170 degrees. Do not overcook the fish. It should be of a flaky consistency, depending on the size of the fish, it should take between 4 to 6 minutes. Important. Drain the excess oil/ fat from the fish. Allow up to a minute for this. Do not park the fish on top of a bed of chips and do not wrap the supper up in paper.

A friend of mine runs Mike's Famous Fish and Chips. (Not Mike, his son) And he would be very disappointed if I didn't plug it in this discussion. It is a really good chipper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) I haven’t had a chippy in years. Thankfully the last one I had was very good. It was in Stranraer a few years back when we lost in the Scottish Cup. It was in the town centre and near the train station. It has a bit to sit in. I recall me and my friends buying a carryout for the train in advance and then firing along to the train with out chippies (it being a single line the train would sit there for at least 15/20 minutes before leaving). We all went to the train and had our chippies on the train, on a table in the first carriage nearest the end of the track, before it left. We all disposed our our litter in the provided bins (we all would have anyway but I was extra vigilant as I despise littering). Third best chippy I've ever had. The fish was incredible.

Thanks for that tam, i would have been quicker going there when I lived in Kilwinning, except I wouldn't have needed to 'cos Aldos was just over the road. Thanks all the same mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
