    Half Price fish & chips at participating chippers.

    Below is the list of ITICA members who will definitely take part, but others may also take part for fear of loss of business.

    http://www.itica.ie/chipper_directory

    Btw, this offer is always very popular so best to get it reasonably early, don't be expecting to get it on the way home from the pub at 11pm or anything like that.

    Burdocks used get insanely busy between 5pm-8pm. Be prepared for a 20-30 minute queue at peak times.

    Apparently Leo Burdocks aren't on the list. Nm.

    I don't think they have ever been on the list, they just do their own special offer on the same day.

    Burdocks in Christchurch are doing their own half price fish and chip day event on the 28th to celebrate their 100th birthday.

    Although Macari's Blessington isn't on that list, it has done this for the last two years.

    Assumed the Macaris in Limerick was on it. Sadly disappointed to find out it's actually a Mc'Aris. Great Fish n Chips but sadly not half price. :(

    The list only shows paid up members to the ITICA, I know burdocks are not members but have done it in the past, as do many non-ITICA chippers.

    Some do half price on everything, not just the fish. You can look at previous years threads to try and see what your local does.

    A chipper near me was doing the deal the day after too, he might have bought in more fish than needed, he is now closed down though.

    Its more like they rarely see a genuine deal in takeaway places. The bogus junkmail pizza half price offers are laughable.

    It does get mad in the sense that people do not seem to value their time much, you hear of 1 hour queues to save a few euro. I have only availed of it once or twice due to queues.

    Most think other takeaways will suffer, my local chinese place was really busy as people set out with a takeaway in mind but the queues meant they went to the chinese instead.

    Most places will end up doing it. You'll find that on the week the media will give coverage to National Fish and Chip day, so that guilts most chippers into doing the offer.

    Spoke to out Local guy about this one year.

    He said people go mad for it on this one day.

    He showed me his Menu and he does the same thing every Tuesday and nothing...

    Its all hype and cheaper deals to be had throughout the week

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    In all fairness, not a lot of "Proper" chippers in Galway!
    I know my local one in Moycullen which has an ITICA sticker up in the windows chips are manky, they could do with a little trip up to Dublin to see how it's done properly ;)
