Its only £5.20 for mini fish n chips, with curry sauce and sausage from the chippy in Aldridge. Very nice as well! Had it on Thursday... won't have it again, not because I didn't like it, but because my jeans are getting too tight That chippy and that deal must be some of the finest fish and chippery in the land, if it’s the same place I know. Though I do only crave my chips to be battered these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The battered chip is a thing of beauty, one near me does them and once bitten never back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things that piss(ed) me off, after discovering the battered chips my dad used to still insist on getting half of them and half normal. Everyone demolished the former while the latter remained untouched. He eventually came to his senses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Majors in Bilston did the best fish and orange chips I’ve ever had. Almost worth moving back to the Black Country for. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read about that shop on the Express and Star page, it's about 6 miles from me, I've never been to Bilston but was thinking of trying it if you can eat in. Gonna make it a plan one day from what you've just said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s dangerous because it kind of ruins normal chips (even chip shop) after that, you really can never go back. 9 minutes ago, Xela said: Its the one just a few doors down from the spoonys (The Avion) on the main thoroughfare in Aldridge.

Black Country / West Midlands orange chips are chip shop chips, so already deep fried, which are coated in the same batter as the fish, hence the colour and extra crispy deliciousness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried them either, the ones I've has use the fish batter. Maybe there is a secret ingredient or just food colouring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chips in batter. Yes, The Black Country has invented something that would provide a shock in Scotchland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aussie's like chicken salt on their chips, have you tried that, it's amazing, ordered some on Amazon (embarrassed to say how mush it cost) over here as it's not available in the shops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone at work found some Aussie-style chicken salt flavour crisps in a petrol station, they were alright but I didn't get the fuss tbh. Probably nothing like the real thing mind you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 2, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2022 I never knew battered chips were a thing until I started working in Wolverhampton. They all thought I was weird for not knowing about them. (FWIW they're lovely) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted January 2, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2022 I can take or leave chips in batter. In all honesty I much prefer normal chip shop chips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
