Time for you barbarians to go get your fish and curry sauce again. HDM did a best chippy in Hull vote and Jim's Plaice on Longhill won by a landslide. More than 7,000 people voted, with Jim's Plaice attracting more than 4,000. Pollard's Plaice, in Holderness Road, came second, with the Frying Farmer, in Aldbrough, in third, and Cave Street FIsheries, off Beverley Road, in fourth. https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/wha...2tHbOXxVQLOqiPbCexwKOmx08FWffBbrUXf6U0NyBbEr4
It’s Friday so today is chippy day. Currently in Brough so will be having haddock chips and curry sauce pretty soon probably from the chippy down Skillings Lane.
Yeh that’s the one. Great chippy … their Credit Crunch Lunches were brilliantly back in the last financial meltdown. I used to chuck a couple down the hatch followed by a leisurely walk back to work.
Us east Hull lads & lasses didn’t venture onto Longhill, you couldn’t beat Harry Jackson’s, Rosemead St.! Reminiscing alert - we lived in the dales off Southcoates Lane, I remember like yesterday, being sent to chippy, down ten foot, with money folded up in order, going back home with change wrapped back up in the same order paper. I was also fortunate to have a great friend at School, whose parents had a fish & chippy down Portobello St, so the chippy visit was a VERY regular occurrence at dinner times - heaven! Happy Days. Enjoy your fish & chips everyone, or whatever floats your boat! Including curry sauce….. or gravy!
Other east hull chippies worth a mention in the dispatches. Crimlis's's. Think there was three of them down oldness rerd. Fosters down New Bridge road. Latus which added several inches to Prescott's gut. Moby dicks. A stop off walking back from swimming baths. I also had to once abandon a bird there I'd picked up round town after the vodkas I'd been knocking back suddenly went to my head. There was another opposite southcoates primary I can't remember the name of. But yeah, harry Jackson's was the best of the lot.
I was coming home from Bilton so I thought I'd see what all the fuss was about Jim's Plaice. Got Pattie ,Chips and curry and it was really nice . I will try the fish next time
Aye - Crimlis' was weird - two near the old Craven Park at least - and hardly ever open. Which was the hallmark of a great chippy. Fosters did crinkle cut chips too.
I remember being sent to the chippy in Redbourne Street, opposite the police station, with a parcel of wet fish for them to fry, Seemed to be a fairly normal thing for them to do. No idea what they charged but it wouldn't have been much.
Most definitely. A good chippy always operated limited opening opening hours, at inconvenient hours. When I was at Lister, fosters did great business selling scraps butties to the poor school kids.
