My mam used to run the Anchor Fish Bar for over thirty years - grew up in the flat above the shop & helped out with all the spud prep etc when I was a pup. Lots of memories from the days when the queues were half a mile long in the late 70s & early 80s & chucking out from the pub time late on Fri & Sat night - the good, the bad & the ugly! A true Barrow Island community institution. There were tears shed by the locals when mam decided to call it a day. Glad it’s still going great guns..

Two of my local chip shops were run by Chinese people and they were both really good. On one occasion, I left an online review to say it was literally the best fish and chips I'd ever had! I had haddock and it was delicious! The fish was really tasty and succulent and the batter, light and crisp. Sadly, neither shops are there now. After decades, it was the lockdown that ended them.

That's a massive piece of fish, yum. When I got fish & chips from a Chinese chippy, the chips were fried twice. Behind the counter there was a large stainless steel tray loaded with part-fried chips. You placed your order and the assistant got a portion from the tray and fried them for 2 or 3 minutes. They were delicious. The price you paid yesterday was very good value. I pay £9 without peas or a drink. With so many people watching your channel nowadays, and with the various fish & chip reviews you have done, maybe chippies up and down the country are experiencing an uptick in trade! They're gonna be saying, thank God for Gareth!

Chinese are very very good at fish and chips. When I was a kid, we used to always go to Scarborough for our holidays and one year we stayed in a holiday flat near to a Chinese chippy, and they were the best any of us have ever had. I keep meaning to go back and see if it is still there (even though I’m 51 now lol), who knows, with fish and chips that good they may well still be going lol 😂

When I lived in Bristol I had a Chinese chippy near me. It was run by a big woman with a ferocious temper. If you went in and you didn't order Chinese, the woman used to go out the back and shout while she threw things about, then she'd send her husband out to serve and he didn't speak a word of English! How anyone ever got served is a miracle.

A large cod and medium chips cost me £10.80 last night from my favourite chippy down here in Bognor - Ocean Fish Bar on Hawthorn Rd. which I've been going to since 1984. Have to admit, even their small portions of chips are an entire plateful and even a half portion of chips isn't far off the small. They really don't skimp on the chips.

Looks lovely that I tend to ask for lightly battered as the batter can be stodgy at times from some places but going off how crispy that was looks best to stick to normal. Suppose if you were to take home and it had been steaming away in the wrapper then it would be stodgy. Such an etiquette regarding a good fish and chip experience!

Hi Gareth from Spain. Made my mouth water. The reason the batter has a bit of thickness is to protect the fish from the seering heat of the oil so that it is still juicy and not frizzled. As you know, my nearest fish and chips are a round trip of over 400 km away. I don't think you did too badly for value given the fact that fish is more expensive.

Back in 1971 when I was playing keyboards in a 3 piece band at week ends we'd call in after midnight all of us in the Roadie's van, starving and pick up from a Chinese take away the most fabulous fish and chips, crisp batter not tasting of oil - lovely white chunky cod like the Haddock you see here. But all of us band members ended up with upset stomachs (the squits as we called it!) but we were devils for punishment and repeated this whenever we'd finished a gig in that NE London area north of Edmonton. We never knew why they caused gastric disturbance. It wasn't food poisoning and the oil was certainly not stale or we'd have tasted that. But those Chinese chefs knew a thing or two about cooking fresh fish and batter too.

So, less than half the price of the Walnut Cafe in Ambleside and I reckon well more than twice the enjoyment. Mate, looked like you really enjoyed them. Shame Barra's so far from Manc else I'd be paying a visit. Thanks for the review. My mate takes his camper van to Walney Island so I'll let him know of your review. Subscribed.

Lovely scenery Gareth as usual and the food looks great. We have a Chinese that does brilliant English dishes. My favourite is their ribeye steak chips n gravy for £7.50 n the steak is a good size, lots of chips n delicious gravy.

We have a cracking little Chinese in our village, traditional 1970s fare, that does the best and cheapest fish and chips for miles around. The top priced chippies, and I mean c£4.80 for a bag of chips and £9.00 for a medium fish, nearby seem content in trying to flog the nastiest sausage, pies, gravy, curry sauce,peas etc they can find. I know they are feeling the pressure with their bills but they just aren't the same cheap and tasty option, with a queue outside, that I grew up with.
