“The best fish and chips I've had in recent years! I normally avoid eating the fish from chippies because of its grease but this one was perfectly freshly fried and not greasy at all!”

🎯 Consistency
Serves haddock not cod; one diner found it tasteless
“The most tasteless fish n chips I've ever had in my life went in asked for two lots of cod n chips but they said they only served haddock. Why call yourself The Codfather when you don't serve cod.”
