As previously stated, I'm not a F&C lover, but to me a fiver for the cod plus ?150 for chips is what I'd be expecting to pay in any decent chippy.

lol!

d-decimal.... decimal point

[Otta]

Ooops.

Yeah, ?1.50 - ?2 for chips.

[Jeremy]

?5 for cod plus ?1.50 - ?2 for chips... so exactly what Sea Cow charges for takeaway then!

[*Bob*]

So what have we learned?

If you eat fish and chips maybe once a month then by being canny and driving the 20 miles to Bluewater, within three or four months you'd have saved enough cash for a drink in a pub. On your own.

Fish, Chips and More do a Monday to Thursday deal at 4.95....can't mind right enough it's take away only though. No chippy down here can compare to a Scottish chipper though. Crave Blackpudding suppers...

In that case....Bretts in Headingley.

Or if were being a ponce about things, any of the harbour side fish places in Essouira, Morocco that cook fish to order on a charcoal grill served with chips and salad and bread and a side of shrimp! For about ?5. Whilst being offered hashish. Win win.

[Otta]

Little island off Venezuella with just a little shack on it from which they sell freshly caught and cooked fish., even I didn't mind the fish from there.

Or most places in Whitby.

Yes, that was my point. When the thread started I was expecting to see that SC charge in excess of a tenner. 6 - 7 quid for a meal is not a lot of money.

[Jeremy]

Oh I see. Yes, the price is within the bounds of what most people would consider "normal".

If you don't like their food then fine, but making out that the prices are extortionate is just stupid boring trolling.

Yes you're right... goddamit. I mean you save a pound at the Dulwich Fryer, but yes okay go to hell

[tetris]

No, wait - tried them today - hiked their prices: ?9. Eff that

[phobic3000]

The Sea Cow is rubbish. I've been twice and both times it was crap. First time thought it bland and couldn't understand why it always looked busy. Decided to give it another go, I got haddock and chips, got home to discover they had squished 2 tiny haddock together and passed it off as one. Felt like I'd been mugged off. Never again.

(Chips were spongy)

Jesus. How many times do we have to go over this. ?6.75 takeaway, ?9 to eat in.

Try ordering fish and chips in a local pub and see if it's less than ?9.

[*Bob*]

Definitely worth popping in again tonight, Tetris.

Maybe go in next week too - on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Or once a week for the next six months.

Just don't WHATEVER YOU DO - leave with anything to eat.

No it's not. I had a look at their takeaway prices in the window -- it's ?9. Eat in is something like ?11 now.

They have a kids menu where the takeaway is ?6.50, but I'm a grown ass man and I want grown ass proportions

@Bob - I will! I'll take a bloody photo to assure you that I'm not paranoid, I'm right

Was last in Sea Cow a couple of months ago and it was good. Chips nicely cooked, Fish batter was thin and delicious and their minted mushy peas (i would never have thought minting them was necessary) were a revelation.

I'm also a big fan of Cod Fellas on Bellenden Road.

The worst fish and chips i've had in the area by far were from the new-ish one on East Dulwich Road. I have no idea what it's called, but it was awful.
