I went to school in Greenhill back in the late 50s when my parents moved to Dor. I remember eating the freshest and bestest tasting fish and chips in my life there. The fish came in from Hull on a Tuesday. The school served fish and chips on a Friday and that experience marked me out in later life as a weirdo. Fish, chips, cabbage, hot beetroot and proper brown gravy, mmmmm yummy Pickled onions and gherkins (or Wallies if you prefer) are for ploughman’s lunches or Boxing day lunch with cold meats and stuffing.

I’m a southerner but have zero interest unless there’s curry sauce involved. Don’t mind mushy peas but curry sauce is the one
One in Mirfield too (still open), good friends with the owners of both. Think there was a tragic event associated with the manager of the Leeds road one leading to them selling up. Hollowgate is your way isn't it? I like theirs, both shops in Meltham, Harry Heywoods on Manchester Rd, Mr Chips in Mold Green, Lepton Fisheries, Kirkburton fisheries, Corner fisheries in Marsh..... Huddersfield is chock a block with great chippies really.... and then you can keep going East (went to Harpers in Hornsea following a recommendation on another forum) and theres decent chippys all the way to Whitby.... and I've not found a single decent one in Manchester!!! Everyone raves about our local chippy and its pretty average. That extortionate place Harry Ramsden's does bits, but they make them up as a separate thing and serve them on a side plate so you don't even get little bonus fish bites. Scandalous. Soooooo...... Best fish and chip shop names then (like tanning shops e.g. "Tans in 'ere"? Bradford has 'The In Plaice'. Barnsley has 'The Codfather' Surely we're awash with wittily named fryers?
Thats a bit like the French with snails ... "Ha ha look at those knobs in the uk eating slugs in a shell"
I've not had a battered/fried mars bar but I have had a fried crunchie. And I have to say it was lush!
You need to give the Battered Cod a shot, think there's two the best being in Fallowfield in the student area.
Once had battered pork ribs from a chippy in Glasgow one very late and drunk night. My shirt the next morning looked like I'd been stabbed!
There`s a guy works down the chip shop, swears he`s Elvis. But he`s a liar and I`m not sure what his favourite chip shop extras are. True story.
