Fish From The Chippie

[jennyjoan]

Well a chippie has opened round the corner from me so decided to give them a try and got a fish.

When I opened the paper I couldn't see the fish as it broke up into a million pieces - it was appalling - not going to be back there. No way Hosay.

Why not get cod or haddock next time?

Never Mind the Pollocks ...

[jennyjoan]

Talbot it was a cod - when they put it in the paper it was a whole fish and then it crumbled. I can guarantee this chippie will not do well.

[-Talbot-]

Oh, I thought you said it was a palling...I assumed that was one of those dodgy contaminated Asian fish.

[sunny-dave]

You need a herring aid, tablet ...

[jennyjoan]

LOL never heard of a palling fish but there ya go.

[jennyjoan]

this post is all a load of pollocks.

You were codded. (fooled) But it could be as you have said ...'a load of pollocks'.......... Meaning of Cod., Archaic... The scrotum.

I think you had a Cod Piece. ....What a lot of balls I am saying.

Codding was used in the North West to mean kidding, not much heard since my Aunt died!

[Georgiesmum]

Ask for rock eel or huss as its known next time. The bone in the middle will keep it all in one piece . sorted!

[Dee Sa]

why didn't you take it back ? thats what I would have done, show them ? surely they would have changed it for you ? just asking.

Jenny one has just opened near my daughter and had the same reviews and prices are high . Don't suppose it's the same one in Leicestershire .

If someone gives you bad service/goods you owe it to them to let them know. How they react determines whether you ever deal with them again.

[jennyjoan]

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.

JJ: That would of scared the life out of me - I'd of been straight back out the door!

[jennyjoan]

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.
