    Good call Wally, but definitely not the only place I'd eat fish. By the way, they have a shop on O'Connell St too, but they're not in this Italian thing so won't be half price

    Philie, where are you goin with this one? Burdock's is disgusting. I had a smoked haddock and chips up near Christchurch and by God it was sickening.

    The trick is to find yourself a good local chippers, none of these poxy chains. Get a good reliable one and you can't go wrong because the people that work there are the ones who own it so they won't fling rotten chips at you.

    Rule of thumb - you should always have to wait while the chips cook. Just walk out the door if they try to give you chips straight away, don't even bother excusing yourself.

    Looks like it'll be just chips for me, then! And I had chips from Beshoffs in town and thought they were horrible, definitely not a fan!

    Oh and I can confirm the Cosy Chipper in Artane is taking part in this anyway...

    They've had the poster up for months.


  • Registered Users Posts: 43,852 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Was in P Borza in Sligo earlier..

    .. no signs anyways! :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,582 ✭✭✭WalterMitty


    sorry to go OT again but in Dublin, Beshoff restaurant is not the same company as "beshoff bros" which have several branches around Dublin. They are both owned by members of same extended family but not same members.
    On Burdocks, it used to be great but last 2 times ive eaten there it has been terrible. Tasted more like vegtable oil than fish and chips, poor quality smoked cod and far too much batter.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    I read recently that 80% of what is sold as cod in Dublin isn't actually cod.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,300 ✭✭✭✭casio4


    it was on the news last week that most of the time it's not cod you're getting


  • Registered Users Posts: 26,336 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    AW Macaris Raheny isn't on the list.

    Are you codding? It sounds a bit fishy!

    My mate Ray who coincedently plays the Bass told me to drop down to his plaice for a game of poker(hes a bit of a shark). He said his local chipper serves the best fish in Ireland!

    His friend Macker elected to pay after winning most of the money on the night. He's a decent sole.

    I had a feeling he would get lost so I volunteered to go instead.

    When I returned we had a whale of a time eating the meal while regaling about our favourite Frank Sinatra song "Salmon enchanted evening!
