The portions are a decent size, but a medium is okay for a lunch, but you need a large one for a dinner. https://www.krispies.co.uk/menu-1 Hang on. They do battered chips. When did that become a thing? Quote

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 23, 2020 Paid Members Posted February 23, 2020 McCain did a frozen beer battered chip for a while about 10 years ago and they were fabulous. Never seen them in a chippy though. Quote
Loki Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Has anyone else noticed the size of cod portions has come down. I usually get a small cod as I have a battered sausage as well. The small cod of the weekend was fucking tiny. Apparently the price of cod has gone up again, I blame Brexit. Quote

Stays crispier all around by the time it gets home. I look forward to being judged on this action by everyone in this thread. Standard practice for me now, too. Not only do they stay crisper but you get a bigger chip portion. Psychologically there's something in serving chips on their own that makes the server more generous. Also you sometimes get places that will box chips when with something but put them straight in paper if on their own. That box severely impacts portion generosity in my experience. Quote

No idea if it's bullshit or not but I remember hearing how many chippies use cheaper white fish. Quote
Rey_Piste Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) If it's "Fish" then it's likely hake, but if they advertise it as cod, then it should be cod. I expect Loki goes to the sort of place that sells fish goujons and crushed peas with mint. Edited February 25, 2020 by Rey_Piste Quote

Any chippy I've ever been in names what fish you're getting. Edited February 26, 2020 by Devon Malcolm Quote
