Fish and Chips?

[Dark61]

My stepson reckons there's no Fish and Chip shops anywhere around Mitchel Park, Adelaide. I've tried searching and cant find anything either.

Does anyone know the area? and if so is there any Fish and Chip action?

cheers,

[Sandgroper]

If they're anything like the fish & chip shops around here they've probably gone broke because no one can afford them! Remember when fish & chips used to be a cheap feed? Not anymore!

Have you tried that really famous search engine?

Brighton is not exactly far away.

Marion and Mitchell Pk aren't what they used to be so finding a F+C shop could be difficult, but there is a very good one 5 mins away;

Colonels Fish & Chicken Shop
501 Goodwood Rd, Colonel Light Gardens SA

[olbod]

We used to have milk bars too, back in the good ol days.

Sigh.

[Mick_Marsh]

So, you couldn't find fish and chips in the food hall at Marion?

I used to get fish and chips at the corner of Denham Rd & Morphett Rd Morphettville. I wonder if that shop is still open?
Yep, still there on Google.

Modern fish and chips.

A McFish value meal at Maccas :o

Chips used to taste better when the newspaper ink mixed with the fat...that's authentic. Now they use plain paper instead of yesterday's newspapers, and healthy oil, it's just not the same. :( Fish and chips every friday night.

[d2dave]

Yep. I used to get paid a cent a pound selling newspapers to the fish and chip shops.

[Stuck]

For as long as I can remember as a kid,it was always fish and chips every friday nite.
I really miss a good chippy,living in a small country town.
Last weekend I bought some Kalbarri Mulloway(Jewfish over east) from a fish monger,I crumbed it and did frozen chips in the oven.Fish was loverley,oven fries cant match the chippy:(:(:(:(

Yep, was always Friday night for us. Then there was the bike ride home from the beach in the summer holidays. I passed a fish shop on my way home.

Would stop and get six pence of chips. I would keep the package rolled up the tear the top off the news paper to get to them.

The money was obtained by cashing in empty bottles found on the beach or in bins.

Best one was Broadway Fish & Chips

234 Unley Road | Unley

We used to ring up with our order, and get a security patrol to pick them up for us. Even had a special radio code for it... :angel:

[digger]

I reckon there is one on the western side of Marion Road just north of the expressway overpass just north of South Road and before Sturt Road.

They used to be good, clean and have nice chips.

But I havent been that way for a while! (so out of Mitchell Park, west on Sturt first corner (marion rd) go south, should be on side feeder road on right(western) side as you travel along.)

Is there still one near the TAB opposite the servo and supermarket near Finnis Street on Marion Road? (used to be OK too.)



Dont forget the blue and white cafe & red and white cafes in O'Connell Street NORTH ADELAIDE if youre talking about iconic Chippies.

("milk bar" when you are in SA refers to a mars bar, milky way, snickers etc etc...
here we call them Deli's - that refers to a corner shop, nowdays even if they dont deal in delicatessen items.!

It's a state thing I'm sure, bit like from bathing costumes (or swimming costumes) we have "bathers" not "swimmers" or "cozzies".)

and best way to eat chips?

butchers paper inner, surrounded with reading matter (newspaper) with top torn out and lots of salt and vinegar :)
when in UK years ago went into a fish & chip shop and asked for chicken salt and the bloke questioned me a few times then abused me because he thought I was taking the piddle! :(

My Grandmother and her sister used to own the fish & chip shop near the end of Jetty Road in Glenelg (just short of Moseley Square - pretty sure it's not there any more). I remember going in there for a good feed as a kid.

After they sold up - we used to always get a good feed of fish & chips in Jetty Road, Brighton (my Grandmother lived a few streets away in Edwards Street).

There was also a good fish & chip shop on Brighton Road near the Holden dealers (John H Ellers ???) - I was a boarder at Sacred Heart College when the family lived up in the NT and we used to sneak off up to the local fish & chip shop at least a couple of afternoons each week.

In 1968 I found a very successful local enterprise in Singapore.
They had bought an old Bedford bus, set it up to prepare fish and chips, and every evening parked it just outside the main gate of RAF Tenga.
Those chaps must have made a fortune.
Really nice chips, and generous slices of fish in crispy batter.

"Hello **** fishy n chipy"

"yeh g'day, can I get $3 chips, spring roll, 2 flake and 6 dim sims take away thanks"

"Min chips is $8 is that okay?"

"What? There's only 3 of us, don't need that much!"

"You'll need the large for 3 mate, thats $15 or $16 with salt or $16.50 with chicken salt."

"Never mind mate we'll make a sandwich I think!"

It's not verbatum but its a conversation I had earlier this year with a local chip shop. My normal 'supplier' was closed for one reason or another.


Since then I've figured out how to make them at home in the deep frier from garden potatoes and we have them with wallaby sausage rolls - it tastes heaps better than the simplot crap all the chippies down here have.

My missus is from Qld and she is training our kids to call them togs. I have to keep telling them that there is no such things as togs, they are called bathers.
