Isn't that what Harry Ramsden use? I make you right regarding the beef dripping, their fish and chips I had as a child in Blackpool I can still taste nowfenlandaddick said:Fish and chips has to be cooked in beef dripping it makes a world of difference. Two best chippies I have used are Elite in Lincoln, or Number 1 in Cromer.I now only air fry chips at home in beef dripping too. Takes it to the next level.Also need a cup of tea and gravyBelieve so, although never tried Harry Ramsden. Elite in Lincoln also tell you the farmer who grew the spuds and the boat the caught the fish. On a little chalk board as you walk in. Elite have two shops in Lincoln, one in Tritton Road has a licenced restaurant and always seems busy even though prices have gone up.Tried Battered Lemon Sole the other week, was amazing. Plaice next of the list, I believe it is in season at the moment. Before that would only really go for haddock.0 -

Is that in the small parade of shops between the lights that takes you to Sundridge Pk and the mini roundabout taking you to Chislehurst ? A bit out the way but will try it if passing.Henry Irving said:
We are off Burnt Aah Lane nr Lidl. There is a kebab shop & a Morley's. Was a fish & chip shop there but closed down in the summer.
Need something that we can grab on the way home from a match. Grove Park area.0 -
Vintage Fish at Lee Green is good but not cheap. Gluten free on Tuesdays.2

Reputedly better then Vintage Fish and much easier to park outside and nip in to order.0 -

photo next time @sethplumseth plum said:I am not interested in fish, but like chips.
However I do home made and this is my system.
Bear in mind a portion of chips anywhere local lands in the region of £3.
First an Gino D’Acampo air ’fryer’ from ASDA for around £39(re useable).
Then a large baking potato from Sainsbury’s for around 25-40p.
Peel potato and cut into chips, not too thick, not too thin.
Soak cut chips in cold water in a mixing bowl.
Rinse and wash chips again, and lay chips on a clean t-towel to dry.
Set air fryer to start at about 190.
Dry mixing bowl, and chuck dried chips in it.
Pour a very small amount of oil in the bowl, enough to make the seasoning stick.
Add generous helping of Sainsbury’s chip seasoning, plus some paprika, some ground black pepper, some salt, and the magic ingredient some cornflower.
Use a spoon to turn and mix well into the chips so all surfaces are covered and sticky, don’t worry about thoroughness but the chips will become a kind of reddy brown..
Cook in the warmed air fryer in five minute spells. Shake and mix up the chips on each inspection.
Use a sharp knife to test when cooked, depending on the size of the chips you cut it should take 15 to 20 minutes.
Whilst chips cook, clear up stuff.
Eat chips when done.
I know reading this feels like a faff, but it doesn’t take much longer than going down the chip shop and bringing chips home, and after the purchase of the air fryer, the oil and the seasonings (all of which can last a long while) you’re paying around 30p for a decent portion of hot fresh home cooked chips rather than £3, with for me the additional bonus of the chips not affected by oil used to cook fish.14 -
Yes, that's the one. Not far if you are driving but too far to walk from yours. Three minutes walk from me and from Greg Dochertygolfaddick said:

Not that Seth does the fish bit but puns are loved by everyone of CL : - )3 -

Village Fish and Chips in Shortlands. It's not super close to Sundridge Park, but not a million miles.golfaddick said:Any recommendations for a good chippy in Bromley.......more the Sundridge Park end. There is one in College Road but seems very expensive & shut every time I try there 🙄. Others I've tried are the one in Bromley Hill & another in Baring Road (not far from the South Circular). Around us there only seems to be kebab shops or chicken shops. None do decent chips 😡.1 -
Used to go to the Blue Planets predecessor as a lad 35yrs or so ago I reckon after Charlton games with my Dad. Not been for years.addix said:
Wasn't keen on Beluga when we tried it (was our regular place for fish & chips when the Greek couple owned it prior to changing hands) I don't like the skin left on the fish and they wouldn't remove it for me.Athletico Charlton said:In Eden Park I would highly recommend Beluga. Some of the best fish and chips I have ever had and the family that run it are really lovely too. It is very difficult to beat as a chippy.
We use Blue Planet at the end of Eden Park Avenue. Their grilled fish as an alternative to battered is lovely.
Beluga now grill fish too and I have always been impressed.
Frankie's is the best fish and chips I have had this year, but it's a bit far to go to Shetland for an Uber eats driver !1 -
Our friends live in West Runton & we always go to Number 1 when visiting them. One of our friends is vegetarian & they definitely use vegetable oil, which is confirmed on their website. Still delicious though !fenlandaddick said:Fish and chips has to be cooked in beef dripping it makes a world of difference.

El Supremo, I think?
Would go there with a mate after we'd finished delivering the News Shopper and Leader local papers for a portion of open chips and a can of Vimto each. Hands would be black from the newspaper ink, but it didn't seem to matter back then.

Down my way best fish and chips are Minnie Berthas in Bexhill. Best I’ve ever had is in Camelford, North Cornwall. They are so expensive now these days. Was told since Covid the cost of potatoes has risen more than the cost of fish.1

Also had superb chips in Camelford. I think it was called Peckish - opposite a car park.LargeAddick said:Down my way best fish and chips are Minnie Berthas in Bexhill.

That’s the one I think, must be as there is only the one in town. I liked the fact too that they listed the trawler the fish had been caught from and the type of potatoes they were using that night.Arsenetatters said:

In Auckland, NZ we pay around NZ$4.50 (£2.25) for a Hoki and NZ$7.50 (£3.75) for Snapper.
A scoop of chips is approx. $4.50 (£2.25).0 -

over our way Smiths chippy in Epping are good, open 7 days a week all day for lazy cat funts like me1 -
FWIW, Rick Stein's F&C shop (the sit down one, not the takeaway) in Cornwall was nowhere near as good as I expected it to be.2
