What does a fish and chip meal cost where you live? Poll

[nickmo]

Following Q below, how about a poll of the price of fish and chips where you live?

Edinburgh - typical �4.50 for the usual, �5 for 'special fish'

[waimarie]

We've had a customer friendly price war going on around our way for a couple of years now... Long may it last at 99p for fish & chips !!!!

[ermintrude35]

...huge fish (they only do one size and if the fish happens to be smallish , they give you 2!!!) and chips �4.10...Arvonia Fish Bar, Pwllheli, North Wales...

[Gef]

Cheekychops, in Glasgow 'special fish' means cooked in breadcrumbs rather than batter. Here, in Partick, a battered fish supper costs �3.50 if you want 2 fish or �2.50 for one. Special fish is 50p extra.

Good answers here, thanks everyone - take a star! Or a pickled egg..........except waimarie - 99p for your tea means you can buy one for all the ABers!! Where is this abouts?

Shows that the prices seem to be farily well a much better buy around the country than any of the (processed) burger brands and you do get a meal that is proven better for you than burger'n'chips.

Does anyone like pickled eggs by the way? I mean when sober of course......and whats better, vinegar or brown sauce? (that should start something....)

[waimarie]

'fraid I can't give be too specific with names nickmo as it would play havoc with house prices !! Can only say it's a well known place (no pun) on the east coast. I'll double check prices this weekend for any movement. No question though, it's always freshly cooked, a great meal and, with my figure, something of a treat.

...brown sauce...?....brown sauce ! ?....brown sauce..!!!!!!!!!!.... thats sacralige!...lashings salt and vinegar and the obligetary wooden fork (no plastic) and your fingers... sigh ...I rue the day they stopped using newspaper... sentimental old cow that I am...

Vinegar. Brown sauce is great but not on fish and chips. However, for me its salt and vinegar plus good old Tomato Ketchup (and it has to be Heinz).

Oh, how I yearn for fish and chips! Another half a stone away though!!!

[gessoo]

And I want to sit on the sea wall at Wells next the Sea and eat them with a little wooden fork and fingers, just like Ermintrude 35.

Newspapers kept them lovely and warm and helped the recycling cause!

nickmo, are you from Edinburgh? It's the only place I know where they splatter your fish supper with salt and "soss" if you aren't quick enough to ask for vinegar. I prefer vinegar by the way.

[Gef]

nickmo, just realised that you used Edinburgh as an example in your original question - must learn to read.

[nickmo]

Hi Gef - I'm in Edinburgh, and never have that soss - I gather it is watered down brown sauce, and that stuff is simply apple puree, caramel and vinegar in a water base, so no way is that geeting onto my food!

Middleton-on-Sea, West Sussex.

About �5.00 for large cod, large chips.

[nickmo]

Kim A - I think thats the higest price so far, but not by much so it still looks fairly even round the country...
