 I don't know if you have had fish & chips from the new fish shop in lordship lane. East dulwich. Called Joseph's. Well my and my wife went there the other day we had rock & chips. The chips was lovely but the fish was well over cooked and very greesy. I just could not eat the fish the batter was realy hard and the fish just taste like rope and dry. My wife's fish was just the same   but the batter on her one was harder . This was the first time I've been there and it will be  the last time.sorry this shop is not worth The prices they charge for their produce. I paid £ 29.90 for this load of crap.

I am amazed.  Josephs is not new, it has been there about 3 years?  I have had fish and chips from there a few times and rate their fish as some of the best I have ever had from a fish and chip shop.  Chips are great as well,  The portions are enormous and great value.

You joined the forum two hours ago specifically to post this?

I haven't been there, but I have only previously read good things about Joseph's on here.

I'm also wondering if you took up your complaint with the shop. 

If so, what did they say?

If not, why not? Especially given that you had paid nearly thirty pounds, it would seem the obvious thing to do, to ask for a replacement or your money back?

So... what happened when you expressed your disgruntlement directly to the establishment?

As everyone has stated, Josephs might be expensive but in terms of sizing and quality, never had a bad meal from them. In fact they are so generous with their food that we order 2 fish and one portion of chips as servings are very large. Ordered food from them last week and got usual good quality stuff.

Rock’ is only dog fish. Most anglers throw them back

And dog fish is actually a small shark species. Very different taste and texture to the cod family.

If you'd been expecting cod then the rock would have been disappointing. But it is what it is.

Is it just me or is the title of this thread weird?    Not a good sign when the subject heading is not clear.  Is this  a decline in our use of the English language?  A thread in it's own right.

Reminds me of the Badwolf line running through the Dr Who's of Ecclestone  and Tenant.  Perhaps Rose in the parallel universe can understand what badfish is and save our world.

Not a good sign when it's is used instead of its, malumbu.

Its! It's its! Not it's 🤣

Definite sign of decline there

😛

Sorry admin, as you were. I notice the OP has not posted again in response to any of the comments 

Very fishy.

      Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier

      Great news! Peckham Rye station to reclaim its public square by next year!

      By rollflick · Posted

      A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.

      It's not really though, is it. It's practical.  At least we're allowed Christmas lights.
