I will not order bread next time,as TOO full,could not anything rest of the day. Why on earth would a person looking for flavoursome cod ( the whole point of this entire thread) then put curry sauce on it?! If youre gonna do that, you might as well eat any old crappy fish because you wont taste it anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahseer Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Best thing about Charlie's was the bloke himself, lovely old character now resting on high. The chips were decent and although he fried the fish well it was fresh water stuff but for the price fair value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simoh1490 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I'm in the UK for a couple of months and just down the road from me is a fish and chip shop that was awarded best newcomer of 2018........order cod and chips and out comes a piece of cod that was swimming five miles away in the North Sea just a few days ago and has never seen a the inside of a freezer.....hand battered before your eyes it deep fries in minutes, the fries are freshly fried russets....the combination is orgasmic, the taste, flavour and textures take you to another planet.....five Pounds forty for food that will sate the most ravenous.....I'll never be able to eat fish and chips in Thailand ever again.

Well, yes, I know EVERYTHING about Fish n Chips.

Salt n Vinegar ONLY !!! Come on, Worgeordie, stick to what you know best....the cultural contribution to the world of food from your native area being Pease Puddding and Newcy Brown.....blimey, no wonder you think its OK to put Curry on Fish n Chips!!

simoh1490 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Have to agree, curry sauce on good quality fish and chips is sacrilege.....put on poor quality food it does however serve to cover up poor quality and taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God I am not a Yorkshireman, they are missing out on something if they don't put curry on their chips,but I bet many do. ,then why do you have to come up with Newcastle United,looks like you have to do that, because you have no other argument,I don't think, a real man would criticize another's football club on an open forum that is about fish and chips,i just shows bad taste . It's a good job all Yorkshiremen are not like you,and I have know some good ones. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see your proof of that quoted from a number of trusted world wide reviews and considered gastronomic connoisseurs and not an individual's biased opinion. One minor region of the UK's inflated opinion of it's knowledge and production of any commodity does NOT make it the planet's leader on the subject! I will eat my fish & chips, or use/consume whatever product according to my tastes and NOT yours. PS; Chips, scraps, Deep fried Pizza/Pies&Mars Bars covered in curry sauce with a big black pudding on top covered in brown sauce. Now that is culinary culture! Meanwhile back to practicable/available Fish and Chips in CM. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely correct, the best fish and chips are from West Yorkshire, especially Keighley where they call fish cakes.....scones.

You can even get it here in Chiang Rai. I rather steer clear of things from "oop north chuck". It always seemed to get dark early beyond Bristol anyway! Proper cider is a bit more difficult up here, although there is a pub/restaurant in town ( Hungry Wolf) that serves a decent New Zealand draft cider. Come to mention it he does a decent Fish and chips. Otherwise, it is Strongbow (too sweet and fizzy) or "Moose" (Canadian) which is passable.
