Cosmic Joe Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 The perfect battered fish is one taken out of the frier and drained for 45 seconds or so before serving. I've built up the courage to ask for the chips to be served separately so they don't steam through the fish and make the batter soggy by the time you get up the road... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 31 minutes ago, Zen Archer Esq. said: Listen up this is good. A friend of mine used to sell paper and cardboard products to chip shops. There is a shop in Kirkcaldy round the back of the Ice Rink called Pauls. He went in one morning to find him stripping batter off puddings and sausages and re-heating them for the lunchtime crowd. The irony was that the c**t had a wall of awards which he was chuffed to f**k with. You bassa. That was my local chippy before I moved to East lothian, you could have told me that decades ago. Thought you were one of the good guys. Pah!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Obviously biased to where I stay but Fife for me has the best chippies. Although last time I had one at Anstruther I nearly shat myself in the car on the way home... Valentes on Hendry Road is my usual. Always fish. Always to order. Don’t get me started with chippies down south. Cod? No. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 My old man (East Wemyss vintage) used to call Valente's "Rosa's". I presume there was a matriarch back in the day called Rosa- any of you Fifers able to confirm this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, Zen Archer Esq. said: someone with a screwed up face saying ' it'll be 5-10 minutes as we have to cook it' I often find myself rushing for a train/bus (shock horror) and needing something quick to eat prior to a 3hr journey, and when you ask "if I order it, will it be ready within 10 mins as I need to be away then?", they'll be all "aye, no problem, doesn't take long". Until... they try to make you pay and you say "I'll pay once it's ready". Different f***ing story then. Eta: for avoidance of doubt, any hot food gets eaten prior to boarding. I'm not that much of a c***. Edited August 18, 2020 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I recall being on the second Subcrawl and visiting the chip shop at Partick. After about five minutes digging in with a plastic fork I examined said piece of cutlery only to discover 3/4 tines missing. Never did me any harm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a slight tangent, I hate it when they stab the plastic fork into the lid of a polystyrene box. The sound / feel of polystyrene rubbing against anything is one of those things that makes my skin crawl, especially during removal of said fork. Eta: in fact, must definitely add chip shops that give you suppers in a polystyrene box. Get that tae f*** (not in the sea though, for environmental reasons).

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Just started watching the film Stealth with Jamie Foxx, stealth fighters hit the afterburners that light up the rear end of the plane negating the stealth feature of said vehicle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
