Thian Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I even stopped eating fish and chips in BKK, it's only fried batter and even Sizzlers gives a very lousy piece for 269 baht. I don't know where to eat good fish and chips in BKK, it has to be fresh fish (not frozen) with good chips and nice sauce. That's very rare in Thailand.

RT85 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I always have my fix at piri piri chicken. Decent sized salad, good chunky fries.. and super love the spicy sauces.... of course the fish is pretty big and nice bite without the oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tassie Norm Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I've noted some commentary relating to 'fish an' chips' being unhealthy. Generalisation alas. The source and how it is cooked is my response. For the uniformed, fish, per se,is healthy. Lots of misdescriptions on menus abound, for sure, however on the basis that you are consuming ocean reef or pelagics you can't lose either in taste or health benefits. Lots of folk only imagine fish as deep fried in batter - wrong. (Some batters okay, for sure). One can steam, stir fry, shallow fry, grill (my favourite) - for the right fish. Ah, the oil, be selective, the heat, don't overcook, the flavour - fillets not-to-thick. Shan't go on. I have no business association with Snappers restaurant ) Soi 11 but enjoy a great selection of seafood. You pay for it but I only visit Bangers from the NEast 4 times a year. You know the origin of the seafood (my belief). Pissed off they aren't open for lunch tomorrow.........nothing wrong with spuds either - anywhere. Enjoy.

buji Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 sizzler do a great tasting cod and chips. Kidding, right? Even in America, Sizzler is a joke, trailer trash food. Best fish & chips is impossible to say but guessing country of origin. Thailand, still haven't found & the foreigner restaurants are worse at international food than the Thais in larger cities, but everywhere seems even the small cities' foreigners can't even make Italian. Bangkok is the worst "all" food in the country. Would say, best international food goes to Chiang Mai & best sea food goes to the south...Krabi region (although one of the most polluted regions), excluding Phuket.

Thian Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I once ordered fish and chips in Sizzlers and it was horrible. Only one time in Thailand i had supergood fish and chips and that was at "the Deck" in Chaweng koh Samui. But last weekend i noticed nice dory fish fillets in Tops...real fillets, no skin or bones. I battered and deepfried them and that was great. They also had other fillets i'm gonna try soon. But for good fish and chips in BKK i have no idea. There are good chips around, also plenty of fish but nobody can cook it well it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh dory fillet from Tops is great for me. Deepfried fishfillet in Sizzlers (for 259 baht or so) is really bad. In Europe we eat deepfried fresh cod fillet, that's awesome.

Thian Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Em quartier has a superb fish and chip shop. Been back twice Thanks for the tip, i've been there today and it was great! I even had been to EMquartier twice and never seen those spiral stairs with all those super restaurants. I immediatly felt home there, what a great looking restaurants. Also those gardens at the 15th? floor are awesome. I give them all a 10 out of 10 which is very hard to get from me. The fish and chips were great, i also had a scottish egg for the 1st time in my life and also that was great. It came with pickled onions and something i couldn't define. But i didn't understand why we got a bowl of stinky vinegar with the meal. The waiters were phillipino girls who spoke fluent english!! EMquartier is head and shoulders above every other mall i 've ever visited. The architekt who designed this is my new hero. This really is a huge improvement for Bangkok. The fish and chips place is called Jason and Mulwow? and it's on the top of the spiral stairs. One floor under the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSpade Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I can see why you'd think that, but a proper chippy is a whole different ball game. I've never come across anything close. That place on Soi 23 kind of looks a bit like a real chip shop, but to be frank I don't think I want to eat anything cooked that close to Soi Cowboy. Yeah I've never found anything that resembled a proper chippy in Thailand. I love chippy food but I don't eat fish. Give me pies, batter sausages, deep fat fried burgers, puddings etc any day...and they just can't get that right here if you can get it at all IME. I went to the one on Soi 23 about 3 years ago. Was served a hot dog sausage (no batter) with french fries and cold beans. Didn't plan to go there again but earlier this year noticed it had been done up, looked more modern, and saw some of the food being cooked and it looked more like the real deal so gave it a second shot. Huge improvement. Actual chips though not quite the same as the chippy back home and a battered Cumberland sausage if I remember right, with mushy peas. Not bad for Thailand (peas weren't great though) and not expensive either. If I had a real craving again I might go but not going to be a regular visitor. Location plays a factor in that too. Not a fan of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffy Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I have tried quite a few Fish and Chips here. My two favourites are the one in the Emquartier and I will probably get some stick for this one, but I think the one in Roadhouse in Patpong is very good. I have tried most of the Brit Pubs but think Roadhouse which is American does better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
