Best Fish and Chips in Sheffield thread

Based on a recommendation on here I tried the Seafayre on Charles street. It wasn't bad, but nothing special Tbh. The chips were pale and a bit soggy. The fish was decent but the batter wasn't crispy. The flavour was good.

 

Not a patch on Bill Green's eccentric Harlequin on Howard Street. But that is long since gone of course.

 

Its fashionable these days to serve large Y-shaped haddock in pale yellow soft batter and pale chips in copious amounts. I am of the old school and think fish should have dark golden crunchy batter with thick white flakes of cod, and chips should be brown, not white. And enough for one person, not three.

 

If you can relate to that then the only places I know remotely near Sheffield are Tony's at Mosborough and Margarets at Whittington Moor, near Chesterfield. 2 traditional chip shops serving fish n chips like they used to be.

 

The one in Dore village isn't bad btw, but not a patch on the ones I mention.

 

As a Blades fan, I am disappointed that "A Salt n Battered" on London road changed ownership this season. They were also very good. The quality of the chips there is still decent, to be fair, but they have cut right back on portion sizes, especially the fish, and it is nowhere near what it was.
