Really? Anytime I've got Capone's chips you can taste that the oil hasn't been changed in ages and there's a bang of fish off them.

Im not a big fan of the type of chips served in McDonaghs and other similar places, too thick and greasy and you never feel right after them.

To be honest if having plain chips, i.e. not taco or curry etc Id chose McDonald's over anything, they are lovely.

I would love to travel the 120 miles from here just to have some McDonaghs chips + curry sauce and chicken.

Went there once about 6 yrs ago. Had garlic chips. Found a thick black pubic hair in my garlic sauce within a few seconds.
Wouldn't be easily put off my food, but this was stomach churning.

Never been back

that post should have had a health warning, i was just about to make some food, gonna give it a while now. :eek:

Had McDonagh's recently, great chips have to say...proper chips as opposed to fries. It's shameful they import their cod though.

All Cod is imported ...very little fish got off these shores anymore.

Oh there's plenty fish caught off these shores, it's just that Irish trawlers are not allowed to land much of it.

So how are McDonaghs supposed to sell Irish Cod?

ive never got the fuzz with mcdonaghs, ate there a few times, average. chips okay, like ya would get in most places e.g nico's , la salsa, vinnies, norio's. chicken want great. prefer supermac's

magentas

the chips in bar8 are unreal!

but for a normal bag of chippies I'd have to say McDonaghs even though most galwegians I know hate it!

In terms of price? Or what do you mean? It may well be an economical issue but if more Irish businesses helped their own and insisted on Irish produce (including fish) maybe our fishing industry could lobby for a fairer quota of what is our fish and support more jobs....anyway sin scéal eile as they say...and this thread was about chips in Galway I believe!

Do you mean "Norios"?

Harry Fitz for me. Although they're less than half the size from when they opened! Still a good feed for one in them though.

Manufacturers like Donegal Catch actually import most of their fish , it's processed here therefore they're entitled to call it Irish, All the big Irish distributors import the majority of their fish from the Nordic countries, sad but true, so McDonaghs really have no chance ...nice chips though

Anyone tried that new place JD's Kitchen in middle street?
they've a logo that looks like cap'n birdseye

barone

had cod n chips on friday in harry fitz, cod was nice size,batter was lovley, chips were grand,7 out of ten for the chips, a tad undercooked

SlipperyPeople

had harry fitz on saturday after a few drinks hanging around the main stage for the latin festival...thought it was poor to be honest chips were way undercooked and my mates chicken goujons were burnt to a crisp...probaly wont head back there tbh

After reading this thread, I went to Harry Fitz on Saturday evening. I had intended just to get a bag of chips but I got some fish (whiting) as well.

I really liked the chips, they had a great taste and were very chunky

Pity that the portion was quite small

(the fish was very tasty too, except it had alot of bones).

Overall, I'll definitely be going back there again if I want a bag of chips!
(I've yet to try Jack Jordans in Doughiska, and I gave up on Vinnies on Dominick St. a good while ago).

JONJO THE MISER

Went to Harry Fitz a while back, chips were nice but the staff were rude which will put me off going back there again, oh and this was during the day when there was only 1 other customer so it wasnt like they were rude because of a busy night.

ben.schlomo

tried Jack Duggans last night. Slow service but thats okay when they are new. Got Chicken Fillet Burger and chips. Fillet was fresh and cooked nicely but little lacking in flavour. Chips however were very good, skin on, and chunky and a decnt portion. They are opening till 3a.m Fri and Sat nights too.

Jack Jordans is hard to beat in terms of a bag of chips or the fish. Would have been a huge fan of Mc Donaghs but just to hard to drop in.

pateen

not too sure if this has been posted already but the 'Takeaway Chonamara' van/trailer thats usually in Maam Cross on saturdays and any other big days is by far the best imo. Like as far as i know the ingredients and veg used is bought fresh from a fruit 'n' veg stall on the day! Oh and dont get me started on the curry... yum!

Jack Jordans is also offering gluten free fish, chips and curry sauce etc among other things. Great to see as I don't think many places in Galway cater for these kind of needs.

Anyone else notice the standard of chips in Supermacs can be just awful?..Yesterday I bought a bag and the chips were rotten and a few were green in places:eek:
