8MileBU Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 +1 for Corbie’s. The word Rank does not even come close. Is that the one on the road off Quality Street heading toward Poorhouse? If yes, then make that another +1 for rank! Made the mistake of stopping here one night on a call out a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Not sure of the road names but it sits on a corner by a junction. It was not fish that I had, it was grease filled white pudding supper and all the chips were just the scraps from the bottom of the fryer. I was quite far away back at the job when I opened it and I couldn’t be arsed taking it all the way back to complain. Live and learn though.

No fish for me either (don’t like it) but the sausage and chips were simply disgusting and a note-to-self was made to never go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manky c***s down here do. Just why???? Also are are there any Edinburgh folk who know the real story behind chippy broon sauce? Have heard vinegar (or water) is added to gold star? broon sauce, but can't get hold of the said product to have a go. HP brown sauce on a chippy is for bent shots and Waitrose shoppers imo. Asda sell large bottles of the GoldStar brown sauce for £1, doesnae taste so great tbh. Maybe needs further watering down with vinegar? HP brown goes very well with a White Pudding supper though. Skin left on the haddock is just wrong & should be outlawed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LincolnHearts Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Corbies used to be good years ago (early 90's) lad that ran it was Paolo Crolla I think. Was it always called Corbies for any of our older viewers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love haddock like virtually nothing else and I could eat it everyday. When it comes to cod though, and I know it comes from almost the same family, I refuse to touch it. Wetherspoons in Scotland sell haddock for their fish and chips whereas in England they sell cod. I once, unknowingly, had the cod and that had the skin still on it under the batter. It was disgusting. I have never seen skin on a haddock before but I think it is often left on cod fish suppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may well be right. Whatever the species it's a completely unacceptable practice. Aye, cod is honking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem like nice folk as well - my policy is pizza or pasta from the Cavalier, chippie from Franco's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cod is a bottom feeder, we bought some fresh years back that had been caught on the West Coast off Mull, we noticed some worm in the flesh and were told that as they were a bottom feeder they can eat seal shit which can have worm in it if it's caught in close waters, cod caught in the North Atlantic or the northern North sea is Ok I believe.

Hedgecutter Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Best chip shops cease to be the best the second they win any award. The quality might be right up there, but there's absolutely no way it's worth standing in an hour long queue for, usually alongside the types that'll camp for half a week to get a semi-distant view of a Royal wedding carriage pass by for 30 seconds.

Shandon Par Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Marini's in Rosyth is good. Had my usual large fish supper with single fried pizza on the side the other night and it was all perfect. They even give you free tubs of coleslaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
