"Chips, Babbies yed and pea wet please
Babbies yed?
A previous chippy thread of mine taught me about pea wet.
"
Steak pudding, it’s called babbies yed as it supposedly looks like a babies head with a little bonnet on. A north thing I know........... |

Ah! My reading of the words was correct but understanding of the words was wrong.

Is there anything that can't be deep fried in Scotland?

"I like all fish so it doesn't bother me. They are just the best I've had (that weren't my grandmothers). They cook them in beef dripping and the queue is always huge."
Best I’ve had we’re in Whitley Bay and North Shields  |

That's always a good sign.
We haven't been to my favourite chippy for a while because the queues are too long. Tempura prawns and chips with a side order of pickled quails eggs and a wally for me.

Being by the sea always makes fish and chips taste better.

I'll only have fish & chips from a proper chippy, not a chinese take-away or a fast food place
It just never tastes the same
Jumbo haddock, chips cookes in dripping, mushy peas and white bread & butter.
Also has to have tartare sauce & lemon if served on a plate.
Not that I am like really fussy or anything, but I also don't like the fish sat on the chips
If it's wrapped, they have to be wrapped separately
If in a folding tray, the tray needs to be opened out, chips & peas on the bottom, fish in the top  |

"As for chippies ... Compo's in Holmfirth, Mr Thomas's at Hollingworth Lake or Murgatroyds in Yeadon (top end of Leeds/Bradford)"
I'm in Skipton at the end of the month so I could pop over to Leeds/Bradford.

Haddock with none
(confusingly none means no batter. There is batter but just a tiny tiny amount, the fish is floured then dipped in batter and then you run your hand down it taking most of the batter off)
Wrapped separately to a portion of wet chips.
And it's the only time I have tomato ketchup. |

It really is another land Oop North. 'None', which means 'some' is a new one to me.

Haddock is such a lovely, meaty fish.

I am so the same.
Isn't it annoying when they do the salt n vinegar when the fish is on the chips. Talk about uneven seasoning.
And yes. If an establishment has multiple offerings I won't go.. Chinese chippies. Etc
Green Lane chippy in Leigh is where it's at. |

If I’m in Leeds fish cake and chips, in Manchester steak and kidney pudding and chips, Scunthorpe cod and chips with batter bits, down here battered burger or huss and chips.
It really does matter where in the country I am, as they all do different things. |

I'll try and remember to avoid fish in Manchester. |

"Fish and chips by the sea is great, anywhere else tends to be a let down for me.
I prefer the idea more than the reality "
Degree of truth in that, in theory the fishing should be fresh. That said really good chippies are few and far between. Last really good one I had was in Doncaster, which isn't really on the sea front. |

Not many chippies do them, but if they have saveloys then one of them instead of the fish.
Otherwise, it's Cod/Haddock with chips and mushy peas (easy on the batter though as I don't like lots of batter), with salt n vinegar and tomato sauce. Yum yum! |

You all need to come to my chippy. Everything from lobster through to traditional cod.

I think it's more the sea air and the fact I'm usually eating it outside of of the paper, all adds to the romance of the experience . Fish and chips in hastings are the best, as long as you can dodge the seagulls! |

Oh bugger, I peaked too early!
I had fish chips and peas, swimming in vinegar on the beach in brid last week. It was one of those stick in your memory kind of days which made the fish and chips taste even better |

God knows, they're the unicorn of the fish and chip shop world! . They sell them in the deli section in Tesco, but they taste nothing like they do from a fish and chip shop  |

I have one of those fish and chip memories of Brighton a few years back.

They dont do them up this way. |

Erm...... fish and chips 
You know that doesn't work down here. What type of fish? You'd be no good going to Max's and just asking for a sandwich.

Hahahaha
Fish - haddock
Chips - potatoes

Nothing wrong with fish in Manchester chippies, but those little steak and kidney puss are absolutely to die for. In Leeds they do fish cakes with a slab of fish and a slab of potato fried in batter, also the dogs bollocks. In Brighton huss (also known as rock salmon) isn’t technically fish, but a type of shark, still damn tasty though. |

Never seen those, even in Edinburgh. Are they one of those things that aren't advertised and which you have to ask for, in a hushed voice? |
