It’s been so long since I last had fish and chips at the seaside (13 months?) that I’ve forgotten how I used to do the titles and whether they were part of the Scone Chronicles or not. I have forgotten so much in the last year…
We had Fish and Chips from the Dolphin in Sutton on Sea yesterday, They aren’t always as good as they could be and we keep saying that we will try a different chippy, but we’ve been going there for thirty plus years and it seemed wrong to desert them after lockdown. We had to queue outside and use the takeaway side, but they were very good. Possibly better than eating in. W had cod, because there was no haddock and it was very enjoyable. I may go back to cod for a while. The word succulent comes to mind.
Succulent Fisha nd Chips
It is only frozen Icelandic cod, which is the same as we would have in Nottingham, but eating it where you hear the sea and the gulls seems to make it taste better. Talking of which, we didn’t see many gulls around. I wonder if a year of no easy pickings has persuaded them not to hang round in seaside resorts.
Though the fish was excellent to the point of succulence, the chips didn’t quite measure up. They were a bit thin and floppy. That was how people used to describe me when I was in my teens. Sadly, the chips will be unable to grow out of their thin and floppy stage as they didn’t survive being my lunch. Despite my comments, I ate every one and left nothing but a greasy stain…
A better photographer would have photographed his wife next to the chips and titled the photo “Two of my favourite Things” . Unfortunately the photo did not work out. And I totally forgot to take a picture of the succulent flakes of cod as I was too busy stuffing them into my face.
Chips are hard to get right. The best ones I’ve found are at brewpubs. Fish y the sea sounds wonderful!
It was good. Chip shops are not always the best place for chips – pubs do have good chips, it is true.
I have more empty plate pictures than food pictures
Yes, when I see food my memory seems to get worse,a nd I forget blogging. 🙂
😉
I also seem to forget how to type…
What’s that?!
I think that’s the first use of the interrobang on this blog. You are now officially the young rebel of the blog. Tell me, which is better, being a media start or being the youthful punctuation rebel?
Rebel with a cause? Milking by 15 seconds of game?hmmmmm
That was a quick reply and a fine selection of typos. I hope they were typos, or I am going to look very silly…
Milking my 15 seconds of fame…..see…what’s typing?
🙂
Dwindling greedy grasping gulls – good Covid consequence. I’m pleased you could get out for this.
Yes, I need to practice getting out more…
Looks oh so good!
🙂 It will be your turn soon.
The should be laws against describing seaside fish and chips at this stage of the proceedings. You are causing angst.
🙂 Not for the first time. I will take note of your comments. It will make my next lo of fish and chips taste even better. 🙂
