Fish supper

Sadly, mine didn't look like these!

I was having a very busy night...didn't have time to cook and by the time I got in from work the family had visited their favourite fish and chip shop and the smell was too much of a temptation. Too tired to drive any further, I called in at a more local shop Ruddy's I wish I hadn't bothered! I had to ask for a small fish 3 times...each time the girl went for the large one, I repeated "a small fish please" with a blank look on her face, she wrestled with the small fish again....the look of amazement on my face was the thing that finally made her come too and register what I was saying...why don't shop assistants listen? Do they hate their jobs sooo much??
When I got home, I was so disappointed, the fish batter was hard, greasy and too well done, the fish inside was dry and tasteless, the chips cold and greasy...oh how I wished I'd stuck to one of my favourites.

Ye Olde Fish Shoppe, 8 Hare Lane, Gloucester. Fantastic chips in a cone, eaten after a long days shopping

The London Road Supper Bar Worth the drive to get there...consistently good!

The Seymour Fryer An old favorite when we lived on that side of town.
