Malcolm Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 I gave Ian's chippy a second chance (as is my nature) and the upshot is that I wont go back for a third try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanna Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 ^^^I'd agree, I gave it three chances and the last was the worst, the chips were from the day before, re-fried, and horrible, the seagulls had a good meal though. Unless saturdays are a bad day to go there?? which is the only day I'm in town. If so I'll stick to the Fort which has never let me down.

Frances144 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Sorry Happy Haddock, but twice in the space of two weeks our chips at lunchtime have been vile, old and chewy. Today's offerings were scraps of tattie not even the full chip. You have lost our business. No more second chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medziotojas Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I went to Ian's in August when I was on holiday. I bought five crabsticks and a portion of chips and it was ok. The chips were a little soggy and it was difficult to pick up less than two or three at a time, but it was nostalgic, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The crabsticks were good (as far as crabsticks go), but then again it's difficult to get them wrong. As I say, this was in August, so things may well have improved/deteriorated since.

Frances144 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Had chips in a cone at The Fort last Monday - best description "average" from me and "good" from my OH. He thinks, compared with the rest, they are the best of a pretty poor bunch. The Fort are, at least, consistent - we think this is due to the amount of traffic so that the chips are never chewey and old. There is just no excuse for chippings (thank you, Happy Haddock!). This is a very sad state of affairs. The Happy Haddock used to be great, Ian's were just as good and The Fort stayed the same. What has happened to the great chip? They are the bench-mark of Shetland cuisine! Oh, the chypocrasy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
