Fish and chips


Recommended Posts

Where can I obtain a decent piece of fried fish (and chips) in East Dulwich?

The pubs supply ghastly deep-fried, tasteless from frozen. The few remaining local ?chippies? that I have tried convert their fish to a texture-less sludge contained within a tepid coating of limp batter. Most of these outlets seem to thrive on sales of kebabs, burgers, pies and sausages. I adore simple cod-and-chips but haven?t found anything remotely pleasant nearby. I?d be most grateful to be advised of anywhere that supplies nice, firm flakey cod, fried in a crisp batter, accompanied by hot, recently deep-fried chips, together lightly sprinkled with salt and vinegar, preferably served in pages taken from yesterday?s ?Daily Mirror?.

Please help

The fish and chip shop in the parade on Lordship Lane going up from where Barcelona used to be on the corner to Topps Tiles (opposite the old Harvester). I can't remember the name of it but it might feature brothers? Anyway, I think they are the best in ED.

which chip shops in the immediate area have you tried? I don't mean the silly burger bars and pubs but actual fish and chip shops...?

The best tasting chips IMHO are cooked in beef dripping and because its boiling point is higher than vegetable oil it expels all water from the chip and seals the outside so the fat doesn't get in, where as vegetable oil doesn't seal the outside so quickly and the oil gets absorbed back into the chip.


(Read Fat by Jennifer McLuhan for more fascinating facts of this ilk )


Now if you find me a chip shop that cooks in beef dripping (sorry vegans) then I would be a happy person !

Do you have any link to the list, would be interested to see it. I passed Ken's one day and there seemed to be some filming going on, wonder was the Jay and his gang.

also do the dripping thing.


That's right they do.. They fry in oil for Younger people and Dripping for older / elderly folk.

Unless you specify what you prefer.


Codfellas also have seating to eat in. I used to be a regular there but now have a eating disorder

and cannot manage to eat a full meal. Large portions, reasonable prices. Too far to take away. food would go cold.


I now use Semas.. 1 Min walk. Seems to vary but friendly staff and fish cooked to order.

Large portions.. Cod and Chips ?8.70

    • I am at The Gardens. I saw GP on a Wednesday and he recommended physio, he checked availability and offered Tessa Jowell Centre for Saturday at 1 pm or Forest Hill Road Practice on a Monday at 11 am. I chose FH- very efficient/ Physio at FH very helpful, sent me some neck exercises and referred me for spinal assessment at Kings.
    • Of course, people's experiences may vary, but I'm afraid I can't recommend the DMC on Crystal Palace Rd.
    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
