how I determine is I will always give a place one shot - if it is not up to standard - I won't be back. As somebody there said you need to go to a chippie run by a family concern. This lot looked pretty clueless. Since scampi was on the menu I curiously asked was it breaded or battered.
I lipread one guy saying to the other - "what's scampi and the other shouted oh it's breaded". Ah well.
Yes Dizmo - it was pretty strange as there were a cuppla of chips on top of it and when I removed the chips - literally there was no "whole" fish - just broken bits that clung to the chips.
