Which one? Never seen Codfellas open (at least not recently).

Normally when you walk past a Fish & Chip shop you are usually greeted with a wonderful aroma which makes

you hungry and want to eat Fish & Chips.

Walking past Fish and Chips and More something is missing. ? Have they installed very efficient extractors

and aroma filters..

Is it open for lunch on Saturdays? Wasn't when I tried it recently.

[spider69]

As far as I know it take away only.

Always seems to be open when I walk past

[Jeremy]

Yes I know it's a takeaway - when I say "for lunch" I mean "at lunch time"!

Maybe I will give them a call before venturing over next time.

[Mustard]

They have tables outside to sit down and eat.

[Jeremy]

Sorry Mustard, we were actually talking about the one on Bellenden Rd...

We have been using this place for fish and chips since it opened. When it first opened, the quality was very high but over the past 6-12 months (we probably have fish and chips every couple of months) the quality has been steadily going downhill.

Last night our fish was thin, lacked a flaky texture, the batter was greasy and had a chemical-like taste; the chips were soggy and poor quality. Added to this I could see the staff rubbing their faces, touching their hair, etc and then preparing/ serving food. So, due to a combination of poor quality and hygiene we won't be going again.

Thin fish that is not flaky is likely to be Pollock (a cheap alternative) some fish shops are passing

on illegally as Cod. Fish advertised as Cod has to BE Cod.

It can be identified by a pinkish colour.. and a mushy wet texture.

Had to bin the chips and I did it in front of him after telling him it tastes awful ! Old oil and awful chips .

[kingkenny]

Tried it twice a few years back when it first opened and never returned. Horrible.

I find Sema on Underhill road, near Exhibition really good. they seem to be really anal about cleanliness and cook the fish there and then for you. You can even phone them up and order and go collect so you do not have to wait around. The only word of warning is that sometimes i have caught them trying to pass off a small/medium cod as a large so i always ask them when they serve me to make sure. The portions are big though

[DulwichFox]

SEMA's was always my favourite but I suspect that on occasion they have substituted Cod with Pollock..

I have questioned them on this issue and they deny this practice..

Look out for thin fish with pinkish mushy flesh.. Cod has a pure white flaky texture..

A bit further afield, but Brockley Rock is the best fish and chips I've had around here for a long time.
