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.

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. Thank you.. You had me right up to this utter nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With me, it's never sealed long enough to be steamed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Haas' on Holburn street is fantastic. Sensational fish - best ever. No wonder there is always a queue oot the door 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moomintroll Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 You lot should try living in England, I would happily call it a chipper if only I could get a decent fish supper again. It really is that bad down here. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

They've recently "come back" for some reason. They were frequently worn on the wards despite such footwear being against NHS policy. Absolutely horrid things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather cut my feet off and eat them than be seen in a pair of Crocs but they are supposedly very comfortable. My female is talking about getting a pair as she works in care and is on her feet all day. As long as she leaves them at work them fair enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
