good fish and chips? Curry sauce?

[matnurse1983]

Hi all

Does anyone know of a good fish and chip shop in the East Dulwich area or surrounding areas that also does curry sauce

I'd never really heard of the combo until I lived in Lincoln. Now, my partner is a Scot and pining for chips and curry sauce

I'm planning on taking him to the Sea Cow for some good quality fish/chip/tartare sauce eating

Any suggestions very welcome

I'm fairly sure they have Curry Sauce..

Fish and chips are V, Good

Foxy.

Dulwich Fryer near ED station gets my vote. Sea Cow may have good quality fish, but the chips tend to disappoint.

I think Dulwich Fryer has curry sauce. But if you can't find it at the chippy, you could try the cheapo curry sauce from Sainsburys...

Thanks DulwichFox and Fishbiscuits, I'll check both of these out.

We definitely want to eat in so don't think brining our own curry sauce is an option. Our cupboards at home are full of the stuff

Thanks again

Disappointed with Sea Cow chips...flabby, bland, lukewarm. Fish was ok. Just ok.

Best fish supper I've had in ED is Sea Master next to the Co-Op on Forest Hill Road

Fish, Chips and More on East Dulwich Road do the best curry sauce that I've tasted round here. Tangy. Good chippy all round, in fact...

Thanks MissDumpling,

I forgot about Fish Chips & More. I'm looking forward to our fish and chip feast :)

A bit further afield but Thank Cod for Ken's on Half Moon Lane is a great, traditional chippie. Am from Yorkshire and used to a certain chippie chip (not meaning to generalise but Southern chips tend to be a bit firm and potatoe-y). Ken totally hits the spot and his curry sauce isn't bad either!

Thanks Sarahf

It's a bit further than I'd like as we will be walking from Peckham Rye park. I do pass there on my way to play dates so might treat myself to lunch one day.

I thought chips were supposed to be potato-y no? :p X

[sarahf]

Absolutely! They should definitely be made from potatoes but - IMHO - I don't think that they should be like a potato. Imagine if a potato is Bruce Willis, a chippie chip should be Ryan Gosling. A chippie chip should have structure but still be a bit soft and fluffy on the inside and without a hint of superfluous grease. It goes without saying that they need to be hot! I find that the disappointing ones have too much bite - the texture is almost al dente. Clearly, I need to get a life and stop thinking about chips (and/or Ryan Gosling).

OMG this whole thread is making my stomach rumble lol :-)

[matnurse1983]

Ah, Sarahf, you are a true connoisseur of the chip. I've been lucky enough only to have had that bad chip experience with poorly prepared oven chips. Usually made by me!

I now have a stinking cold so our Sunday jaunt around the park and to the chippie is in jeopardy. :(

I may just send OH on the bus with my requests. We're on the Old Kent Road so not exactly local.

Hoping to be by the end of the year :)

Another vote for Ken's. Worth a short trip. Especially if you catch them just having cooked up a fresh batch of chips.

Quite a few Chinese takeaways have the chips and curry sauce option :) I am from Manchester so it's chips & gravy as a rare treat for me and also chips in a bread roll / bun (chip barm if you're a northerner) which Southerners think is totally nuts too but worth a try! mmm now craving junk despite my shreddies haha

[matnurse1983]

Its the weekend now Esme - go wild!

[ruffers]

Sema's our go to - always a solid 6.5/10, occasionally 7.

But then I've been happy to go to Fryers Delight in Holborn for chips cooked in dripping.

Chips in a roll are chip butties in Newcastle. Yum.

I think Ken's is an appallingly poor quality chippy to be honest. i was originally from Yorkshire too and have lived near that fish and chip shop on Half Mooon Lane for years, it's really not the best.

I love this analogy :)

Thank you all for your recommendations. They have been very helpful.

We went to Fish Chips & More today after visiting friends in Nunhead

All I can say is wow! They were so welcoming and the restaurant area is lovely and clean. The loos were spotless too- big thumbs up from me.

We both had haddock and chips and my partner had his beloved curry sauce :)

We will definitely be going back

:D x
