Shaped like a ball, yes. Approximately. Although I've only eaten them twice I think and on neither occasion was I in possession of all my faculties

But damn they were good!

I've only had them in Cork and they were,imaginatively, called Potato Balls.

Aarnikotka · 05-05-2011 10:01PM

Huh. Of course they would be called something complicated like that! In Johnny Walker's they have potato cakes called scallops... Super, but I don't think they exist outside of Waterford.

the roma in dundalk, and the roma 2 in carrickmacross are top class, but the ramparts chipper in dundalk is the best fish n chips i have tasted in ireland. but nothing compares to northern england cod n chips.

Genoas chips FTW

You haven't lived till uv'e had a bag of chips from Momma Genoa

On the Southside, the Europa in Monkstown. On the Northside, Luigis on Brookwood Rise near the Harmonstown Dart station.

Any one know of a Dublin chipper that dips the fish in the batter just before they fry it? Any chippers I have ever seen have the fish pre-battered & cooked (blanched?) and sitting in the glass cabinet. When you order one they'll chuck it back into the oil and cook it.

Cork you really cant beat Lennoxs up on Bandon Road or Hillbillys.

Limerick...I adore Rio's on Parnell Street.

Gotten me hungry now and its too dark to walk to Lennoxs on my own

I lived in Glasgow for a while - great city - and the sterotyped, near mythical things you can get in chippers are all there, deep fried mars bars and deep fried pizza slices among them. Hardy stuff. I'd say if you want to dispose of an incovenient corpse in Glagow you just drop it off at a chipper and they'll deep fry and distribute it for you.

Anyway, best chippers for me are Dinos in Terenure :eek:, for the food and the immortalisation in song, Dionysus in London for the same reasons. I'll buy chips for the first person that can name both songs.

NO NO NO NO!!!!!!

+1

Would even say the ones I have tried in London beat the ones I have tried here in Dublin, find fish particularly disappointing

Oh forgot about the Purty Kitchen in Temple Bar, the Chips there are chunky and a crispy..so great.!

Throw in 4euro pints of Paulaner and the great people watching from their huge window and you have a winner.

Top 3 chippers I,ve set foot in have been mcdonaghs, KCs and lennoxs (on the bandon road not the ****e knock offs).Mcdonaghs fish is the best but the chips were poor,KCs serves better burgers than lennoxs and has better sauces but for chips I,ve never eaten better than lennoxs.

upandcumming · 05-05-2011 11:40PM

I can't believe Luigi's Longford has't been mentioned yet. Or that chipper on the corner in Kinnegad.

Sonnenblumen · 05-05-2011 11:42PM

I'm wondering how many of the Posters here have ever had a Fish'n'Chip in England? If not you've no idea what you're missing, vastly fresher and better tasting than what is generally available in Irl.

I like the odd chippie meal, but there's too many crappy places here now.

McDonagh's in Galway.

Wait a minute... You're counting this as one of the great overrated chippers, right? Fair enough, it was the first chippers in Galway to sell large greasy chips, but it's been living on past glories for years.

Ah but he said its "rare" for them to be open on an evening,when in fact I know it's not as I eat out of their every week and have been for the last 20 years

Saganist · 05-05-2011 11:56PM

Best 1&1 I've had in a while was from the local fishmonger yesterday.

Got 3 lovely smoked cod pieces, did me own batter, had the coleslaw and whopper homemade chips with chip shop vinegar.

Fed 6 of us and all for under 10Eur.. Not bad huh..

Best Chippie ?

Macaris in Ballygall.

toodleytoo · 06-05-2011 12:24AM

Rio's in Castletroy in Limerick. And Luigi's across from the train station too..

OPENROAD · 06-05-2011 12:31AM

Actually just thinking the last time I had some good fish and chips in Dublin, was when Harry Ramsdens were just off the Nass Road, they also did take aways at the time.

Jesus Wept · 06-05-2011 12:41AM

People like to talk sh1te about places, especially places that they frequented since they were young. Have been told that many chippers and other takeaways 'are the best, ever', and all were average to fairly poor.

Burdocks were always over-hyped and served soggy, greasy fare imo.

Haven't partaken in a long while but Liberos Deansgrange or Borza Dalkey rarely disappointed.

Libero's have gone downhill over the last few years, Bernardo's in Shankill is one of my faves

Aldo's in Cornelscourt are great too, except for the chips

Chippers with a good reputation
