ive just had a fish supper

[elsparko]

you guys would be jealous, not the usual fish supper with about 5mm of uncooked batter,

crispy batter, tasty haddock, lots of chips nom nom nom

you would never guess looking at a haddock with all its skin and innards that it is delicious when cooked, glad someone figured it out

 

[Gavin John Hyde]

Fish supper... any later it would be breakfast!

its been far too hot today to eat anything, not a cloud in the sky

You need to stop going to that chippy. They're doing it wrong.

yeah, and all the staff are heffers ,

the ashvale chipper is also restaurant so standards are definitely higher where i went tonight, can also have plaice , skate and a bunch of other fishies

do you englanders get haddock or is it the cod?

I always rated pollack as an equal,and they are not much cheaper,now. Dogfish is good,wrasse splendid in fish tikka and there is nothing better than a meal from freshly guddled eel and trout

my mate in london goes on about eels and mash, cant think of two worse things to combine

ive only recently just starting eating fish, so haddock and a bit of skate is all ive ever had , didnt enjoy the little bones though

Skate and Ray is a bit different,as it is not best fresh...
It has ammonia in it,which dissipates during a day or two in the fridge,and you do NOT want to know,what sailors of old,used to do to them

I am not too impressed with the jellied eel job,but i respect it's cultural heritage...much prefer mine,gently fried with a small amount of bacon (no fat in eel) Excellent! no cholesterol,high in protein and minerals,etc...also,has the most fascinating life journey,of any animal

 

[telectrix]

i wanna throw up... i hate fish. i even cross the road rather than walk past a fishmongers.

 

[littlespark]

Sparko, Arent you the guy the ordered pizza the other night?
Your diet is questionable. Whats tonights fare? Maccy D or KFC?

 

[Moley]

Why is it called a 'fish supper' even if you eat it midday? That always confuses me whenever I work 'up norf'. Here in the civilised world (Wales) we just have 'fish and chips'.

 

[littlespark]

Also why do they call a Yorkshire pudding a pudding? Same goes for black pudding. Puddings are not main meals, they're desserts.

Haggis supper, and 2l bottle of irn bru for me please.

You mean you've never had a Yorkshire with cream and jam ?

To further add to your confusion Yorkshires should be served like my Nana and my Mam used to serve them, as a starter before a roast, with onion gravy. The beef for the roast should also have a cold dressing of thinly sliced onion and cucumber, pickled that morning.

Go for the Balmoral Chicken. Its a great meal. With you on the irn bru though

I work with a guy from Yorkshire. He has gravy with everything. Even uses it as an aftershave.

Our favourite is stuffed with finely chopped ginger and spring onion, then wrapped in tin foil and left to cook in its own oils. Wonderful stuff.

 

[cliffed]

Oh yes !!!
We used to go mackerel fishing in Brixham,then have what we caught for supper.

Sounds like things in the UK have changed since I lived there in the 70's and 80's. It was cod, cod or cod in the chippy back then, none of the other fish mentioned above.

It's hake at the chippies here but my family mostly eat tuna which I go out and catch but it's cheap and abundant to buy in the shops during season.

Haddock is a nicer fish then cod,

I prefer Lobster at the Big Easy on the Kings Road, mmmmmmm or Surf and Turf or mixed with half a rack of ribs,

 

[telectrix]

southern wussy food. give me a 20 oz. T-bone steak with egg, mushrooms, peas, and a load of chips every time.

 

[Marvo]

Looks good SWD. We get crayfish just off the beach up the road all summer. It's something we look forward to out of the fishing season but a few weeks into summer we're giving it away left right and centre because we've eaten so much of it.

Mate said in SA the prawns are massive and very tasty on the BBQ

replace the egg with a blob of peppercorn sauce

 

[Marvo]

Crayfish are local, they're exactly like a lobster but without the nasty claw. Most of the prawns we get are from neighbouring Mozambique although there are some deep sea prawns from off the coast near Durban.

In johannesburg they have a very different breed of prawn known as a Parktown Prawn. They're not much of a delicacy however....

just noticed youre in south africa, things not getting a bit sketchy there now?

although the houses my south african friends showed me and how much they paid for them does make me wonder why people here pay a quarter of a million for a 2 bed flat

People pay half a million for a 2 bedroom flat around here but that Rands, not pounds.

SA gets a lot of bad press, TBH I feel a lot safer here than I do when I visit the UK.

arent the ANC leaders openly dancing with machine guns talking about killing the boer?

if we can find a way to export your weather and house prices to scotland id be very appreciative

for a long time i wanted to join the anti poaching units in africa, seems like a good job with good people, i think it was only open to native south africans though

 

[Marvo]

Tha anc have been openly dancing around with machine guns since the 1940's and the racial issues and killing of farmers is very real but where I am it's only something we get to read about in the news, same as you do.

Can't help you with the weather but I would have thought housing was already cheap in the more rural areas like Wales and Scotland.....

rural areas yes, i live in the oil capital though so that puts the price up quite a bit, my friend, nicknamed "african" for obvious reasons went back to africa and spent very little sterling pounds on an amazing house with a big garden and pool, the figure i have in my head is £8grand but i could be wrong about that, it was low enough to make me consider moving there regardless of the political climate lol

is the wildlife particularly wild? compared to scotland it will be, worst we get here is a badger, they will try and fight though

in scotland, for fighting, a badger's nothing compared to a pi$$ed up jock at closing time. .

ive run over a dead badger in the road expecting to go right through it, was like hitting a speedbump, badgers do not skip chest day it seems

 

[Andy78]

Well thanks to @Moley I have now discovered Balmoral chicken. I'll be making this badboy again for sure.

 

[littlespark]

What's the green stuff on the right?
