Here in Scotland it’s fish, chips salt , vinegar and brown sauce or tomato ketchup and that’s it

[@Jenga81]

This is the reason why fish and chip shops are closing. The extras like curry sauce, peas, beans and even gravy cost chippys next to nothing.

[@silentassassin2000]

@@Jenga81they are closing because it uneconomical for them to sell a fish supper for under a tenner due to current energy prices. They need to keep the vats of oil heated constantly for frying. Not a cost effective business anymore.

[@Jenga81]

@@silentassassin2000 Energy prices has increased for every business in the food sector especially chicken shops, Chinese and Indian etc. The cost of ingredients for F&C is roughly about £2 -£3 based on cod or haddock. Apply the usual 3x cost v selling price and f&c is economically viable to sell under £10. Fish and chips are just not that popular anymore and no longer a once a week takeaway.

[@gmcallsuk]

@@Jenga81 I don't know about that I have lived in Scotland for 65 years and have never seen curry sauce, mushy peas, beans and gravy in most of the chippies here in the NE coast. There are 4 of them locally and one of them is exremely popular and queued out the door and up the street on a Friday evening. Haddock on the fish market is about £2.60 a kilo this rises further as someone needs to fillet and skin the fish. That plus the energy costs due to millions being spent to pay the big windfarms companies not to produce electricity means that to pay the rates for the premises wages/pensions/national insurance and make a profit you need to sell an awul lot of fish suppers. Some do whilst others unfortunately other do not..

[@Jenga81]

@@gmcallsuk There's plenty of f&c shops in Scotland that do offer those extras, if your local shops don't then they are losing easy money. Also 90 - 95% of fish and chips use frozen at sea fish (source: national federation of fish friers) and buy it from wholesalers who charge about £10-12 a kilo which gets roughly 5-6 fillets so roughly £2 per fillet. If your local shops are using fresh fish then you will pay a premium for that and can't expect it to be cheap. As for paying windfarms not to produce electricity you are correct, that's due to lacking infrastructure to adequately store amd transfer energy to where it needs to be however its cost the people pennies per year.

I used to have regular holidays in Saint Andrews caravan park and a lot of the times we made sure to journey to The Anstruther Chippy for our dinner or a late lunch any time we could when we went on our holidays. It has been some years since I have actually had the chance to go to that chippy as the last time I went was a couple of years before Covid happened. I always enjoyed the food as I would get an either a sausage supper or a haggis supper with fritters and curry sauce along with lots of S&V on it. The Batter and taste of it all was always quality and the chips were some of the best I’ve had compared to some chippy’s in my hometown which are okay but can’t compare to The Anstruther Fish Bar. It really makes me crave their food now and makes me eager to go to there in the near future.

Your choices would normally be Salt and Sauce around Edinburgh area or Salt and Vinegar with Ketchup probably the most common choice as you're in Scotland. Gravy is pure Yorkshire pal ;-) Also if you haven't tried it then try a glass bottle of Red Kola, made by Barrs as well and again just liek Irn Bru, there's nothign quite like it, it's its own thing and just as if not more delicious than Bru sometimes.

[@TibetanFox68]

I loved red kola till they spoiled it with sweeteners.

I am not short of good Fish and Chip Shops near where I live further south in Fife but we will sometimes drive the 45 minutes or so up to Anstruther as a special treat. Definitely the best Fish and Chips I have ever had.

[@scottrenton4585]

It’s very good right enough. One more to try on the other side of the country is ‘The Wee Hurry’ in Troon. Pricy with long queues, as everything is cooked to order, but well worth the effort. Sit in the car and look out to sea, or watch the seals playing in the harbour; bliss.

[@lizg5574]

That looked terrific! And, as a southerner, it didn't need gravy! I tried gravy with fish and chips once - nope, not for me. I even struggle with mushy peas with fish and chips! I don't enjoy the mix of flavours and textures - but on their own, I love them all! And I am not a fan of tartare sauce, either - it's too strong for my tastebuds! I guess it's just how you're raised! And living in the South West of England, fish and chips were just fish and chips! (A child of the 60's!)

[@davidedwards7835]

Danny coming from Liverpool,it was great seeing a true foodie give this revue,might have to venture up there to try it.

[@toadscrote123321]

I've seen a queue out of that building, up the side and all the way round the block and back onto the main street. Now I don't care how good your fish and chips are, there's not a chance of me being in a queue like that for anything

[@markwinter8315]

And me mate, I wouldn't queue like that if they were free ☹️

[@silentassassin2000]

@@markwinter8315you wouldn’t if you lived there. Most queuing have driven for miles to try them & nothing else.

[@CharlesDickson-nv2ol]

The Wee Chippy is way better with short queues as it’s not a tourist trap.

[@Lukethetower]

Theres a great wee fish and chip shop in Pittenweem the village before Anstruther. Also Eyemouth is really good for fish and chips.

[@TheJpf79]

There is a video of here, guy trying a posh restaurant in London, can't remember if it was Ramseys or one of them, "fresh fish and chips" he had, was about £35 for a bit of batter half that size and when he broke it open the fish inside was tiny was loads of air inside the batter, he had a little dish thing with about 6 chips in it. You got that fresh fish and chips for a tenner and got WAY more food for it.

[@alwayspooh1588]

Ramsey is overpriced at every one of his restaurants. He is more a celebrity than a chef these days.

[@agdewey]

Was it Gary Eats, trying Tom Kerridge's fish and chips in Harrods?

[@TheJpf79]

@@agdewey Might have been, was literally 6 chips they got and a tiny bit fish. You would have thought for the price and location you would get more than a plate full of batter. Edit: I just checked mate yes, thats the bloke and the video, its 9 chips in a dish and a tiny bit fish, I remembered the batter wrong. £37.

I seen you're in Glasgow you should try McMonagle's in Clydebank its on a boat in on the river Clyde with the amazing fish and chips

[@steverobinson8771]

Nicely done at the end there cameraman 😎

[@thechippytour]

We missed each other reviewing Anstruther Fish Bar, Danny. We agree, though, that it is an exceptional fish and chip shop in a great location. I had spent some time in Fife last year but didn't get around to reviewing any chippies, so I had to return. Steve.

[@charlestaylor9424]

You need to go to the Wee Hurry in Troon.

[@thechippytour]

@@charlestaylor9424 Been there a couple of weeks ago. An incredible place 🤙

[@liamweir6286]

Went there every summer as a kid. Should come to alloa in Scotland and try the falcon. Best chippy I've tried. Traditional Scottish /Italian chippy. The fish and chips are amazing. Also proper home cooked Italian food.

[@sw01ller]

Best fish I ever had, by a country mile was a chippy with a pub attached in a place called Ullapool. I was up there for a month in 2005 and it was incredible. I’d love to know if anyone can tell me if it’s still great. I’ve not been since but would love to go back.

I agree! Gravy for meat, Tartar sauce for fish 😊 The fish comes straight off the boat in the harbour. As fresh as you’ll find anywhere. They even have a pic of the boat that landed the fish on display!

[@CharlieBeveridge]

Both Chippy's in Anstruther are better than any i have had in in England, it's not even close. But the best i have had in Scotland was in Ullapool, so they are best in the world.

[@robertdowling7620]

Gravy is a minging southern thing nowt up north

Been to This Chippie it’s amazing , fish is beautiful. Married my amazing wife who is from Fife and she took me there , oh it was so good😊

The chippy in the middle is the best. It’s called the waterfront and it’s top knoch 👌
