Hampden Diehard Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Glasgow fish suppers are nowhere near as good as those available to you coastal dwellers, but the Best Chippy at Mount Florida beside Hampden is quite good. Guido's near Pollok's park in Shawlands is also pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got some vinegar Stokes while I waited for Liam Henderson to deliveeeeer… They snuck in some Kenny filler and a bit of Andy halibut — which wasn't nice. It was wrapped up by captain material in the box, so it tasted great overall. Just missing the slice of Warburtons and goading of tart-bear sauce on the side. Personally I go for a special fish supper. King Rib, haggis or black pudding. Red or white when on the east coast. Sausage supper with cheese and curry sauce is also surprisingly good.

However, most of you will be unlucky enough never to experience Frankies chippy. Best in Britain, won a pile of awards and their haddock supper is out of this world. Not like anything iv ever had anywhere else. However, (blue touch paper...) any chippy who is unwilling to apply shitloads of vinegared down brown sauce for free (ram your fucking HP) can f**k off. The haddock at Frankies is incredible. Would also highly recommend the chicken strips and they even do a very good spaghetti carbonara if you sit in. The chips aren't "best in the UK good", The Fort in Lerwick is the pla(i)ce to go for these as someone else mentioned.

Never tried the saucermeat though, Used to go to Brae on a Friday night for a drink when working up there......all merry hell used to break out there! Used to be strange going into my local pub and barely recognising a single face while all the workers were up there. Many a gas plant employee got the sack in the morning after being battered (pardon the pun) by the locals/their own colleagues in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember sitting getting the craic with the General Foreman one Saturday morning when we got a visit from the Police looking for 12 named suspects after some guy got thrown through a taxi windscreen after an argument over "who's it was" the night before! One of the guys had to be picked up on the boat after he packed his stuff and headed straight to Lerwick at 2am in the morning! Some place!

I guess that's what happens when you take a couple of thousand guys to an island away from their families where there is nothing for them to do on their time off apart from drink. Petrofac ended up paying for CCTV systems for all the local pubs. Needless to say it's quietened down these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locheedfcno1 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Fish supper and a single white is the correct order. Golden Fry in Lochgelly is the choice, I suppose to keep it on thread you could go there on your way home from Cowdenbeath if you wanted to visit two 'traditional' Fife towns in the one day. Silvery Tay in Dundee was my choice in my student days. Silvery Tay is really good. Do home deliveries as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locheedfcno1 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Yeah, started doing that the year after I graduated. Probably for the best right enough... Fish supper, single chicken bites. The Bridge was decent as well. the bridge is decent put a pain for parking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a great time all night then left and seemingly it kicked off seconds after we were out the door. Mental. Some of the folk who worked up there were true scumbags. Still never had a great deal of sympathy for the locals since that island must have made so much coin out of the gas plant. The pubs, taxis, takeaways and shops all made a killing but for a couple of years there were a good number of people who didn't benefit from any of this who couldn't go out for a drink without getting harassed or attacked by drunken fannies. I don't doubt that the majority of the gas plant workers were perfectly fine but there was a disproportionate number of them who were utter bams with no respect for the area they were working in or the people that lived there. Anyway, back on topic. I once had a sausage supper near Hampden and it was shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLip69 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Never heard of Pepo's in Arbroath but used to go to the Bell Rock which was terrific, even when up in Aberdeen we would stop off at the Bell Rock on the way home. In Motherwell the best Special Fish is in Onesti's with a shout out to The Rex as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I don't go to a chippy now unless it's the Tailend in St. Andrews, by far and away the best chippy I've ever been to. Chicken goujons supper with bread and butter is the perfect hungover scran, if you can be arsed getting out of bed and driving to St. Andrews that is.

I actually don't live in Glenrothes anymore I just can't be hooped changing this. Tbf if it's just a mild one the drive is well worth especially when you get a nardinis afterwards.

Sells so much during the day all day that if doesn't have to be open too late to make further money . Always great for a sit in supper and proper old school surroundings, ive never had anything bad out of it before . Got a fish supper from there the other night. Excellent stuff.
