Which is your go to chippy?

West end in Preston. The fish are like cricket bats. Even though the owner is a nobber it's damn good. If you're ever there and you fancy a curry take out Bonoful on Plungington is top draw.
 
Used to be Taylors but been Harrowside for a couple of years now. Quality fish, nice light batter, decent chips and proper chippy curry sauce 👌
 
Used to like the Surly Cod in Plumgy (Happy Haddock) just because the staff were so miserable it was great causing them the inconvenience of serving you.

Like the Chippy in Great Ecclestone as they do a decent selection of fish and a natty curry sauce

The chippy in Carleton is run and owned by the same people in Great eccleston

Yeah the chippy in Great Ecc is indeed excellent.

Edit to say as is the one at Carleton by the railway line.
 
The one by halfway house... cnt remember the name despite frequenting it often. Never had bad fish n shops from there... or battered sausage.

Best chippy tea I ever ate tho was from the battered cod in fallowfield behind sainsbury's...

Exactly the same don’t know what Taylor’s is like now but it seemed to go down a bit. So why change a winning team Harrowside until further notice. 😄
 
Was in the newhouse rd area in the week so treated myself to f & c at the cottage. Shambolic system in process to order,pay and collect. High % of chips with green/black on them,very soggy too,worst potatoe ever,french fries would have been better. Fish (haddock) tasty but batter too thick and mainly underdone.Asked for salt and vinegar,got none. Considering 5 to 6 staff on, 4 to 5 need laying off. Never again and I will let all the so called stars know.

It’s gone downhill then?

Last time I went in there was about 5 years ago & it seemed to be run by foreign staff, which is fine.......But I didn’t bother going back🙃

Do you ever post anything positive doesn't matter if it's getting an ice cream,a Chippy tea or going for a meal/a pint etc you never have anything positive to say.

Utter total miserable **.
 
People rave about Harrowside chippy but whenever I've been its been crap. Soggy fish and crappy chips.
 
The Cottage isn’t what it was.

I use Raffles when at home, but the owner, Ian can talk for England.

In town, it’s Yorkshire Fisheries or Tower (also on Topping St.)
 
Fishers Plaice in Layton used to be very very good however it’s rubbish now. Must have been a change of owner in the last couple of years as the lady who worked there since the beginning of time (1991 in my mind 🤣) and the two blonde girls all seem to have disappeared
 
My go to chippy is the Saddle Chippy because of its proximity to the public houses nearby.

It is certainly not a bad chippy and I would certainly recommend it but the finest chippy on planet Earth is Thornton Fisheries on Victoria Road.

In defence of todaytoday, I have never understood all the fuss that folk seem to make about the Cottage and have always considered it to be overrated.

Maybe poolseasider should visit the cottage and give his review. Thats if he's local. List all the so called negatives/my dislikes and see how they compare with his.
 
Another for Harrowside.
I probably queue up behind “one of the big boys”.
My tongues in my cheek, by the way.

Indeed it is crap but used to be very good. The lady you refer to died a few years back and all the shop owners on Westcliffe Drive came out to pay their respect as the funeral cortege drove past. I use Onslow Rd chippy now which is decent and also the nearest.
 
It used to be Golden Fish next to the now flattened Empire Bingo, but he's been shut since the start of the lockdown last year.

Now, either the Saddle Chippy or Raffles on Ansdell Rd. The Cottage isn't what it was and is shut half the time because of 'fryer problems'.
 
I have to agree with the negatives about The Cottage.
Went for a walk on the beach at ST Anne’s and called at The Cottage on the way home.
Fish was soggy, chips just second rate.
Certainly not what it used to be and I won’t be returning very quickly, if not at all.
My local chippy in Bromley Cross is, and has always been, spot on.
 
Onslow Road, God's own country.

The original Blackpool fans used to call in post match for a bag of scraps and a pickled onion.

Celebratory of course after playing South Shore FC.
 
Trawler near me.

On a match day, C Fresh eating in, pudding chips peas gravy b&b and a mug of tea.
 
Yorkshire fisheries is OK.

Cottage is overrated.

Parkgate chippy ( Wirral) is average)

Bentleys chippy has rave reviews. Anyone confirm this.

Has anyone been to Thornton fisheries recently.
New owners and disappointing last time I visited.
