Ive tried and Tried, Nowhere can I get decent Fish and Chips anymore in England what the Fuck is going on. The last good one I had was at Boston Mass at the Harbour 15 years ago,

15 ywears ago you say? Wasn't that when they stopped wrapping your dinner in newspaper? Maybe you just got addicted to the taste of newsprint and never recovered?

Just kidding. But 15 years or so ago is about when the cod stocks collapsed off the east coast of Canada, I imagine it might be the same elswhere? Is the type of fish an issue?

To be honest it's more likely decades of smoking like a trooper have fucked his tastebuds and left everything tasting of tobacco and smoke

Bilbo that could be the problem, but I know its not. Everybody feels the same. Mum and Dad had the best Chippy in the North everybody said so. Nowadays they cook in oil not Fat, I think thats the reason. CGM we get ours from the same ocean but further east, I heard the stocks are lower its mostly Cod or Halibut we eat.

Over here it's pretty much all halibut, I'd be surprised if you can buy cod fish and chips above the table anywhere in Canada, and if you could it would be very expensive.

CGM, Funny that the price of Cod over here is as expensive as Beef Steak, never use to be

I'm not sure I get the , is this a mad cow reference or something? Must be, I would expect cod to be a more expensive than beef under normal circumstance.

Ahh MAd cow ;

two cows were in a paddock and one turned to the other and said "this mad cow disease is a real worry eh?"
the other one looked up and said "doesnt bother me Im a sheep."

Ours get cooked in oil but they are crap when the oil gets old and nice when its fresh.

I get grilled fish in bread crumbs now.

We get blue grenadier,flake ,orange roughy,flathead.

All good eating but the shark has mercury content that builds up in your system.

Cod here is cheaper than halibut here, which is too bad because halibut is far superior IMO.

I'm surprised. Must be a different kind of cod. I hear west coast cod is kinda flaky.

I find it to have less taste and a poorer consistency than halibut. Goddamn, now I want some fish and chips.

The fish and chips in Yorkshire are the finest anywhere - FACT

I was a student in Manchester and never found any decent ones - shite. I work in London regularly and have yet to find a decent one - shite.

I live just quarter of a mile from the place that does the best fish and chips ever - even surpasses Harry Ramsdens (the original restaurant is just 2 miles down the road) . People come for miles to this place - coach trips are regular

Welcome to Murgatroyds

Anyone reading this within a couple of hours drive I suggest you come and give them a try. In fact - sod it, anyone within 8 hours flight should come give them a try

Yeah the oil change could be a cause. I still think the chips in Drakes and Hanbury's in Torquay are good though, although I have to say I rarely eat chips, maybe once a year or so.

I always buy fresh Cod and Haddock myself though every couple weeks. I know from experience if you don't cook it within about ten minutes of buying it it seems to start stinking like a whore's vagina and tasting pretty much as bad.

Maybe modern chippies don't use such fresh fish as in the past?
