Fish and Chips, but a 20 mile journey.. why
You might ask why I travelled 20 miles just for Fish and Chips tonight?
As it's mother's day (on Sunday) and my mum loves Fish and Chips, you have got to go somewhere decent and not the local grease bowl.
I tend to take my mum somewhere every year but not on Mother's day as it's simply too crowded and booked up everywhere.
Even if it wasn't Mothers day, I still would go to this chippy as it's simply outstanding and for the simple fact that I have NEVER found a chippy in Lancashire to match the quality of Yorkshire ones.
Call it sacrilege, betrayal of your own kind (I'm an Lancastrian) but I know my own kinds limitations. Yes, these are my opinions but I'm sticking with them!
I mean this is no ordinary chip shop. You even get to sit on a bus to eat them
Complete with a plastic bus driver!
Fish and Chip shops close down, open up, rinse and repeat.. but this one has been in the same family since 1957. The fish fryer in the picture is still there doing his thing, and he really knows how to make his food tasty too.
Just look at that. I don't know what they put in this to make it taste so good. I'm guessing things that are not very good for you, but every now and then you have to eat something like this, right?!
They even refill your tea at no extra cost.
Fish and Chips is what England is famous for when it comes to food. My wife is from the Philippines but loves coming to Grandma Pollard's of Walsden, West Yorkshire.
This is a STEEM reprint of a post from almost 2 years ago.. - Sadly Grandma Pollards closed down over a year ago. Tony, the chief fryer retired and his siblings I guess didn't want the business.
A very sad case and now there are NO decent chippies in a 35-mile zone.
If you found this article so invigorating that you are now a positively googly-eyed, drooling lunatic with dripping saliva or even if you liked it just a bit, then please upvote, comment, resteem, engage me or all of these things.
That looks delicious and you are right, as there are only a few that can get it right.
Fortunately we live close to the ocean and so fresh fish is always on the menu.
But the chips are always a problem and it's an integral part of the meal.
Blessings!
Next to the ocean sounds great, a lot of fish restaurants then I suppose? Yeah.. chips are tough to make, good one's are.., there's a lot of crap ones around here.
In the old times they used to make great chips my friend, but nowadays everything is a quick fix and they don't worry about quality anymore.
Yes, our beaches are lined with fish restaurants.
Blessings and take care!
😬😬😬 You weren't supposed to go out on Mother's day 🤪
Thou needs to read the small print!
🤣🤣🤣
