A friend of mine recently took over this place and I just had her Fish and Chips for lunch, I think the price is 13 chufs (I got mine on the house). No, they are not "proper" English chip shop Fish and Chips but they are actually pretty tasty and Laura is very much a "foodie" so does try hard, she also does roast beef sandwiches and you can eat there in the garden or take away.

They don't have a web site but they do have a FB page here. Maybe we should arrange an EF event there one evening?

It's situated just under the flyover in between the Fritag and Prime towers.

That's Blackpool for you.

Yeah the Nordsea in Zurch HB do fish and chips but they are more like fish nuggets. The Oliver Twist does fish & chips but they are not great. Paddy Reillys bar is by far the best fish and chips in Zurich although they don't have much competition. Always big fish and really good.

Fully agree, Paddy Reilly's is by far the best in Zurich.

.... yep.. Paddy's is the only place in Basel for Fish and Chips... keep asking her Highness to put on mushy peas but no luck so far

argh?! why did i read this? WHO BUMPED THIS THREAD?!

so hungry now.

I find the fish at Paddys is always always mushy and goopy. The portion is huge, but it disappoints.

It's _supposed_ to be like that. Light and crispy batter is for foreigners or posh folk. The sort of people that'd serve it with tartare sauce. FFS. Salt, malt vinegar and ketchup (or HP if you must) are the only condiments it should come into contact with.

All the fish and chip shops I have been to in the UK leave the skin on the fish when frying - and I do not like that.

There are quite a few restaurants that sell Egly fish, and although not fish and chips, it is quite good. There is a place in Wadenswil that is famous for its Egly, and they get the fish fresh from the Zurich lake. In Iceland we eat "Ysa i orly" (Haddock in orly batter) and that is without a doubt the best deep fried fish with chips I have ever tasted.

I've had the fish & chips at Paddy in Zurich recently. It was ok as Swiss fish & chips go.

Better though has been Pickwicks in Baden. This may however have been better due to the beer or the exceptional company
The staff aren't half bad either.. if you like that southern twang.

I make my own I buy cod from the manor food shop make my own batter, big fat chips with mushy peas

this is of a great interest for me, what do you use for your batter ?

You are very welcome to come over for dinner and I will show you how to make it and leave. Hehe only kidding stay for dinner, or I can post my recipe
