Best Chipshop in shetland...

[ladyfootballer]

Had fish supper from harbour chippie last night - very good. Not had a bad meal from them since they opened. Also noticed that fort chippie has upped it's game since harbour chippie reopened. Must be a contender for best chippie in Scotland now. We are lucky to have two excellent chippies in Lerwick.

I had a white pudding supper, the chips were covered in black specles which i presume was from the oil requiring changed and the white pudding was as tough as old boots.

 

Other two folk at work said they had been in once and would never go back.

That's not so good, not had a bad chippy from harbour yet! Personal tastes I suppose! It's the only place that doesn't make me feel

feel ill after because of the grease.... Not that that stops me eating from

any chippy!!!

Da Fort. alwees his been an will be.

Popped into the 'new Ian's chippy' to ask if they fried their chips in lard, or oil?

Was informed they use oil, but... also, that everything they do is Halal... as a vegetarian I found that a tad disturbing, so won't be eating from there, so that leaves the Fort chippy. {I believe Happy Haddock still fries their chips in lard?}

Okay, here is one for the auld folk

 

In the days of Good Victoria

Peace and plenty reigned supreme

On the night of our Up Helly Aa

Jollification is the theme.

 

So before you start off

 

Stock up with sweets and fags

Obtained from PETER LEISK'S

Fish and chips from THE VICTORIA

Served up in paper bags.

 

Both well established at the Market Cross..

^^.....and by 1975 they were all gone, the building wis stung foo o' heads o' wirsit.

 

A pity, as they did a damn good fish supper.

I had a supper from the new harbour chippy the other day and it was awful. Tasteless and really greasy.

 

Last night I had a supper from the Happy Haddock, it was lovely, best chips I have had in a while, nice and crispy.

 

Frankies is nice but they need to work on their chips,,,, can be dry and kinda hard.

OMG bit short of time and I missed my meal to go off to da fishing.

On the way back after a pint I felt a bit peckish so, knowing that da Fort would be closed {GRRR} and after a bad experience at the Harbour not that long back, I tried the Happy Haddock. { sometimes, you forget a bad experience but, that was after it last it changed hands}

 

WTF can't they F*** up? King rib - It leaked more oil than the boat engine.

The chips were like rubber and I actualy broke a bit out of my dentures on a crispy bit just before what was left went into the bin.

 

I should have known better. How the hell do you expect bairns that are not long finished playing with dolls to be able to make food?

[piggywiggie]

I really want a chippy now

[mogling]

Had chips from the Fort Chippy last night- really excellent!

[number 7]

sad sole fur me , eh i mean the happy haddock !

[tarhellja]

frankies is best. Winning awards to prove it. Space is plentiful compared to the fort which is also excellent, especially at take aways.

[breeksy]

Frankies at it's best is really good, but at it's worst is pretty dire (it's their chips that let them down). Sadly I find them really inconsistent. Although I agree that their premises is great and it never smells like the other chippys do.

 

It has to be the fort for consistently good grub.

[Tromboning]

Frankies over the past year has come on leaps and bounds

Fort i find a hit or a miss depends on who's frying

Happy haddock again bit of a hit or miss

Harbour chippy more of a miss than a hit

 

so Frankies i'd say just in the lead at present
