Fish and Chips - How come?

[Andrew]

Well that is guaranteed to add a premium onto their prices, plus the one that is going to give and give for ages, "Lockdown recovery surcharge"

I know all about when it goes wrong and the problem is nothing to do with the equipment (other than how it decimates fish numbers, impacts other wildlife species, destroys habitat and causes all the *extra* unnecessary death from 'bycatch').

Try other F&C shops in Whitby other than the ones a tourist uses thinking it must be the best.

Bit like visitors to London thinking beer costs £12 a pint...

I'd expect *lots* of (batter) scraps in a F&C shop ;-)

Tourist areas The rents are high They have to factor in out of season costs and make their money while the sun shines ! I suspect the quality is often better or more reliable away from the tourist areas as they rely on repeat visits from local regulars.

[critcher]

never mind fish and chips going up, the whole of the shop population has decided we all have to pay for their misfortune because of covid.Prices are going through the roof everywhere, typical British rip off attitude, leg of lamb will now cost from £17.00 to £33.00. Why?

[T i m]

With BS?

So, why are UK fishing boats sailing a fair distance to land their catch rather than landing it in the UK?

Or are you jealous that I have an idea but you don't?

Cheers, T i m

[Richard]

Quite frankly, I don't give a damn.

Do I envy your version of reality? No.

[Cursitor Doom]

Because it tastes better if you eat it with a view of the sea, apparently.

[T i m]

So it looks like you were right and I do know it all (well, in comparison to you anyway (low hanging fruit I know but I'll take it when I can). ;-)

Ooooh, I can answer that, 'yes', (because it *is* reality)?

Hey, I was right! (IFYPFY)

Cheers, T i m

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

In that case I should be very flattered by all the (other) trolls. ;-)

So Brian gets a discount?

I saw that

and I though WTF is he complaining about

13.50 for F&C in a London restaurant is hardly extortionate

though if the picture was actually of what was served up (rather than some random stock picture that the newspaper already had) I thought the portion of chips and peas was miserly

[Andy Burns]

Not in a restaurant, but delivered, so likely deliveroo etc fees involved.

[Bob Eager]

Ah, but the chips would be hand crafted, and the peas organic.

I've seen "National No Diet Day" and "National Eat What You Want Day" on some chippy websites.
