The best fish and chips in Wales and it's official!

Advantages: Food, service, cleanliness all excellent
Disadvantages: None apart from the dreaded calories!

...As some of you will already know we live in Llandudno and I am happy to tell you that we boast an award winning fish and chip shop ? in fact it came second in Great Britain in the National Fish and Chip Shop of the Year a couple of years ago. Incidentally on the way up to Edinburgh we tried the fish and chips at the winning shop in Biggar and they are nowhere near as good as ours! The chip shop in question is called Fish Tram Chips which you may think is an odd name but it is directly opposite the terminal where you catch the tram up to the summit of the Great Orme so that explains the name then. The full address is: Fish Tram Chips 22/24, Old Road Llandudno LL30 2NB It is open seven days a week during the summer from 12pm until 3pm and then again from 4.30pm until 7.30pm. In the winter it is closed on Monday and Tuesday...

Review of Fish Tram Chips, Llandudno

Stick to the tradtional fish & chips!

Advantages: Great if you like to try new flavours
Disadvantages: Bad if you hate fish!!

...My mum told me about these new flavoured crisps, and I had to give them a try. They sounded really unusual but love trying new things, so thought I would buy some of these and taste them myself. ***ABOUT THE CRISPS*** People from around the country have had their say, about which flavoured crisps they would like. Walkers have decided to put some of these flavours to the test and then you can get voting to decide which one you want to become a permanent flavour on the shelves! The flavours to choose from are Chilli & Chocolate, Cajun Squirrel, Builders Breakfast, Crispy Duck and Hoisin, Fish & Chips and Onion Bhaji! These come in multipacks of 3 different flavours. You get 2 of each flavour. I got 2 multi-packs so I could try all the different flavours. Of course, the flavour I am reviewing is the Fish & Chips flavour! I...

Review of Walkers Fish & Chip Flavour Crisps

Vinegar crisps with a hint of fish and chips

Advantages: I'm no longer the only one that hasn't tried them
Disadvantages: Quite vinegary

...The idea behind these crazy flavoured crisps - These Fish and Chips flavoured crisps are 1 of 6 new flavours as part of Walkers "Do us a flavour" campaign. The idea of this campaign is to introduce these 6 new flavours as previously suggested by the great British public, we then try them all, and vote for our favourite flavour either online at www.walkers.co.uk, or you can text in your vote free of charge to 51199. The voting closes on 1st May 2009. I have read a few reviews of these various flavoured crisps and wasn't sure if I should try them, as most of the reviews have said how disappointing they were. So when I was in my local Tesco Express yesterday they had a special offer on these at the till point so I thought, why not. The offer was buy 2 bags of these "do me a flavour" crisps for 90p. I chose The fish and chips ones...

Review of Walkers Fish & Chip Flavour Crisps

Walkers Fish and Chip flavour crisps are just plain wrong!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: The taste, the smell!!

...Walkers are shooting themselves in the foot in one of the worst advertising ploys ever, I've so far tried the Hoi Sin and Duck (ok), builders breakfast (just about edible) and Chilli and chocolate (amongst the worst thing I've ever tasted) now I've tried the fish and chips and well they are nicer than the chilli and chocolate but the smell is really unpleasant. With most varieties of crisps you open the pack and a lovely waft of crisp flavour hits your nose and entices you to eat the crisps but these crisps had a horrid sweaty oily chip shop smell with a hint of mushy peas. Well I thought perhaps the taste is better than the smell but oh dear what a let down, the crisps have a horrid greasy after taste and have a lingering feeling of standing too long in a rancid fish and chip shop last thing at night at the foot of the pier out...

Review of Walkers Fish & Chip Flavour Crisps

Fish supper anyone?

Advantages: The best fish and chips you can get
Disadvantages: It gets very busy

...Stein's Fish and Chips Celebrity chef Rick Stein is so prevalent in Padstow, and brings so much custom into the pretty harbour town, that it can only be a matter of time before the local dignitaries approve changing its name to Stein's Padstow. At the time of writing Stein has four restaurants and two deli / gift shops all within a hundred yards or so of the harbour front. At the top of the tree is his flagship Seafood Restaurant, opened in 1975 and offering an excellent choice of mainly fish dishes with prices you'd expect from such a famous chef. Next on the list is St. Petroc's Bistro, a more relaxed place that also offers very good food at prices that are slightly more reasonable than the Seafood Restaurant but still not for the faint hearted. Further down the food chain there is Rick Stein's Café, a place where you can drop in...

Review of Stein's Fish and Chips

I thought the chips were to go with fish .

Advantages: Very funny , great characters , great performances , good plot , farce
Disadvantages: Perhaps a little dated now.

...When A Fish Called Wanda hit the big screens, in 1988, it was way ahead of it's time. As with many movies, it suffered a little from over-hype by the press and reviewers. As such, it was a wee bit of a disappointing film to me. However, I only mean a very small wee(gosh I hope you know what I mean)bit. The plot revolves around an American couples visit to England. Wanda, a sex bomb of a con artist and Otto, a jewel thief have planned, and are to carry out a diamond robbery in London. The plot involves a double cross, deceit and murder all of which is carried out in ludicrous circumstances. Michael Palin best known for Monty Python and more recently Pole to Pole on British televisions, plays a stuttering character, who is not as foolish as his opponents think. As the down to earth Ken, he portrays this character well. For me, Ken...

Review of A Fish Called Wanda (DVD)

Mighty Tasty Fish and Chips

Advantages: Very tasty and ample helpings. Good service.
Disadvantages: Can get busy.

...My daughter lived in Islington for two years while studying at London University and I stayed at her flat four or five times- it was certainly a lot better than having to fork out astronomical hotel rates,even though I was not allowed to have a smoke inside the flat. I must say one of the great features of my short stays in this trendy area of London Town was sampling some of the fine eateries along Upper Street. One of my favourite haunts was a fish and chip restaurant known as the Upper Street Fish Shop at no 324 Upper Street. It is a somewhat refined chippy and certainly appears to attract a well heeled clientele but then there are a lot of well to do local residents occupying the rather nice houses in Islington. Although the Upper Street Fish Chop does a takeaway service we eat there twice and thoroughly enjoyed the experience...

Review of Upper Street Fish Shop, London

Why is there a raw fish in my mouth?

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: stale smell too fishy!

...I have had two bad experinces of these new walkers crisps yet still I pressed on determined to find a flavour I could enjoy, and so fish and chips was my next one...after all what could be bad about these! Well from the packaging nothing was bad, they are a mainly white packet but with a strip of orange going along the top and bottom of the packet, I feel this made it look like the perfect packet to have this flavour of crisps in. Again like the other packets there is a sqaure in the middle which contains a picture of the flavour. The smell was slightly dissapointing as it reminded me of when you smell chips the day after you've eaten them and they have gone all hard. However they smelt of chips was was surely a good sign? Again it seemed walkers had taken something I loved and runined it! I picked up one of the crisps which...

Review of Walkers Fish & Chip Flavour Crisps

Kettle chips

Advantages: A really crisp potato chip
Disadvantages: none

...When I sit and watch television in the evening I like something to munch, the `something` all depends on my mood. There are times when I reach for the biscuit tin, other times when a bar of Cadbury`s will do the trick and times when I feel like something savoury. There aren't many crisps and potato snacks that I don't like, but Kettle Chips have to be one of my favourite snacks. Maybe they remind me of my childhood, my Mum used to peel and slice some potatoes very thinly and then deep fry them, the result was much like a Kettle chip. Kettle chips are produced at a factory in Norwich, interestingly enough by a firm called Kettle Foods! I have always thought of them as an adult snack, let the children enjoy their Monster Munch and their Wotsits and let the adults enjoy the unique taste of the Kettle chips. A pack of any flavour...
