Hungry and Thursday – Gone Fishing

So Herself has a couple days off – we don’t move into our new house, old country, for a week.

So we’ve been living out of the fish and chip shop.

Here in Ireland it’s a chipper, in Scotland it’s a chippie.

So, this Hungry and Thursday let’s look at fish and chips and whose are better.

And a wee pint afterwards

Do you want mayo with it?

The Ashvale, Great Western Road, Aberdeen: Skip your breakfast…

The award-winning Ashvale with its iconic ‘whale’. Finish one and you get the next free. http://www.menu.theashvale.co.uk

You’ll need something hot

The Clam Shell, Edinburgh High Street: The Clam Shell is where you can get the best battered haggis and chips. https://www.clamshelltakeaway.co.uk.

Glasgow lights up

The Chip-Chik-Inn, Fulton Street, Glasgow’s West End: We used to go here every Friday to give my Mum a break.

And my brother would always give out about the ‘black bottoms’ on the fish, my favourite part.

I take a trip down Memory Lane every time I’m back in my home city… and they give me two pieces of fish. https://www.chipchikinn.co.uk.
