The chippy at the bottom end of Greystones Road is very good.

I was always in Don Valley fisheries in attercliffe when I worked around there.


on a side note, I REALLY miss a decent fish and chips now I have moved over to Oz. The last place I went in and asked for a fish without batter the poor girl didnt have a clue what I was talking about... and as for scraps.....

I've not found any good ones as they all seem to use oil for cooking and have non-brewed condiment instead of proper vinegar.

Anyone know of a chippy in Sheffield that still uses lard and not oil?

Best Chippy I know of in all of these areas Chapeltown, Ecclesfield, Grenoside, High Green, Thorpe Hesley, Parson Cross, Wadsley Bridge, Sheffield Lane Top, Firth Park area. All North of Sheffield and possibly beyond. Is the little Chiipy next to The Old Harrow Pub at Grenoside.

Doesn't open for many hours, generally Thurs, Fri Teatime and Saturday Lunchtimes.

Robin Hood close to old Banners is also good, as some have already said.

Worst Sheffield Chippy

1. Devonshire - Soggy chips, lumpy gravy and charges for ketchup sachet.
2. Two steps Sharrowvale - Chips underdone, small expensive fish.

Best Chip Shops

1. Stanhope Road Intake - perfect chips and snips, very cheap.
2. Lowes, White Lane Gleadless Townend - Lovely fish cakes and scampi.
3. Alnwick Road, Hollinsend - Crunchy scraps, big serving and cheap as chips. Polite service.

TRY ANY OF THESE THREE, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!

Oh dear Zakes, it must be years since you had fish and chips - I am pretty sure that neither of these three exist any more - Stanhope Rd is now a house, Lowes must have changed hands and the one on Alnwick has been a chinese for years!

The chippy at the bottom end of Greystones Road is very good.

Echo that, the chips are good and the portions are huge - if you order a large chips you get enough to feed a family of four. For a week.

Im going to have to go with Heeley Green as the worst, just me personally but I think its awful.

Best in Sheffied? dont know if best is the word I was looking for but Man Fryday opposite Bramall Lane is ok, the best chippy I have found is in Macclesfield of all places.

Best one used to be the Paragon at Firth Park, is it still there?

The Paragon definately were the best fish and chips ever, used to go every friday for tea and if we had a treat mum would let us go inside to eat in the cafe through the back of the shop. There still is a chippy there but it changed donkeys years ago. The best one weve found is darnall fisheries at Darnall next door to the darnall club on the corner, delish.

As a kid I loved Becketts at the Manor Top-loved the chips and the scraps.

'New Cod on the Block' at Commonside is very good-people come from all over Sheffield for their chips!
mumsy

Not exactly a chipshop but the Palace Cafe @ the Palace Mall, stocksbridge does an excellent fish & chips on a friday lunchtime

just been to New Cod on The Block , best weve had for ages

If you're from Aston/Aughton/Swallownest, I'd recommend Ocean's. Swallownest used to be my favorite however in recent times I've prefered Ocean's.

One to avoid is Rosegarth. Always dry and in my opinon the teatime chips are recycled lunchtime leftovers..

just been to New Cod on The Block , best weve had for ages

didn't I tell you they were fab??!!

Just a tip....go at 8.50pm just before they close-you get loads and all the same excellant quality!
mumsy
xx

The one on Worrall Road, Wadsley is excellent.

One in hilsbrough across from witherspoons

There's one on the shops at Richmond which is fantastic.

How about Manor top fish bar good but not as when Mr Beckett had it

How about Manor top fish bar good but not as when Mr Beckett had it


LOVED BECKETTS!
I remember having to go to Kerrys opposite Prince Edwards-Manor Top on a Monday when Becketts were closed but they didnt have a patch on BECKETTS-can still taste them now!
mumsy

Becketts on manor top was a good un when i was a kid, but its ruff as sausage now. better than some tho.

ye salt n batterd rate chippy mmmm myt go tday if its open lol

best chippy = tonys at mosborough

worst chippy = too many to mention

salt n battered london road :)

the one at woodhouse across from the job center is wiked realy nice crispy chips with lots of little crispy bits not to fat not to thin and not greasey and if you wish you can even buy a scraps butty

**********

ye i think iv been to that 1 ye thay was ok.

Best chippy for me is Marishells Chippy high street Ecclesfield

manor top alwys good

the ranmoor friery is the best ive had not sure about worst

manor top alwys good

no it isnt

Trafalgar Road chippy off Fox Hill Road is brilliant.

thanks for the tip lol

meadowhead is the best (i think thats what its called near the roundabout at norton ??)

There are no good takeaway fish and chip shops in Sheffield.
Every single one does the batter too thick and claggy and the chips all soggy.
Plus the oil they all seem to use tastes really artificial and leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.

They get the tastebuds going but ultimately are disappointing.

Maybe people like it that way but for me the batter has to be light and crispy all the way through and the chips soft in the middle but crispy on the outside and crunchy at the ends.

If you want decent fish and chips you either have to go to a decent restaurant and pay the price or , only eat them on a trip to the seaside .

For some reason , in Scarborough or Whitby , they seem capable of making takeaway F&C with a really light and crisp batter. Quite why Sheffield shops cannot equal this I do not know.
If we're talking fish and chips on the coast, try 149 on Marton Road, Bridlington, best I've ever had.
As for Sheffield, Tony's at Mosborough take some beating!

thanks lol

For me it would be Becketts or now known as Manor Top Fish bar for chips.

and Stans at Intake for Fish and their scraps lol

sheffield lane top
chip and scales

stans wow i used to go there every day when i worked around the corner also beckets was nice when i went to school when god was a lad , richmond fisheries was always nice everytime i had them from there also , does anybody remeber the chinese what used to be at manor top on the old shopping centre next to the arcade and manor motor spares , they had the best chips going .... nowadays they are all rubbish , as someone said they taste ok at first but leave a bad aftertaste and a greasy feeling in your mouth and stomach .... why dont they do them like they used to in beef dripping mmmmmmmm the best chippie im gonna say is when i do them at home for me and the kids in the chip pan cos i do em how i like em ...

I would really like to know if there is a good chip shop in Sheffield. I live in the Gleadless area but would travel if it was worth it. We had chips the other day and they were rubbish!

Danni at Ranmoor Friery

Best 'seaside' fish and chips across from the petrol station up past asda at handsworth.

Cheers for that, i'll give it a try.

A while since I've been but we used to like it???????????

Alberts on City Road, near Manor Top Fish Bar.

Great fish, and the chips are always hot and spot on!

Just been for fish and chips to one in Woodhouse. The fish was rubbish. Bad as any I 've ever had. I would have been better grilling a couple of fish fingers.

Oak House, I agree. Never got a decent fish from them.

the one at townend best fish and chips in sheffield hmmmmmmm :hihi:

Worrall Road just past the Horse and Jockey and on the opposite side of the road heading away from Hillsborough.
Excellent !!!!!!!!!!!

Mannings to the side of the Royal? yes it's crap - worth driving up to Stan's on Woodhouse road for a decent fish.

Try cooking yourself, fresh food always tastes 100000x better.

try wheatleys at bottom of manor lane,same bloke had it about 30 years..i used to work there years ago and would never go anywhere else!!

Top chippy - hard to remember having had better.

my mum used to work at the best chippy in sheffield at pond street bus station, called the friary

Try the new one on Basegreen shops.
English owned and superb. Everything is cooked to order as well.
Forgot the name though, sorry.

Tonys at Mosborough is simply the best no doubt

Wow, what an excellent use of the Forum - let's have a kind of open chat and between us see if we can decide which are the best chippies in Sheffield. Brilliant. That would be really useful.

Anyway, here goes...

My vote goes to New Cod on the Block on Commonside S6. I can't think how it could be improved. Lovely food, staff, premises. It's a pleasure to go there. I'm just glad I don't live too near or I'd be in there 3 or 4 times a week.

I actually love the Admiral on Birley shops, lovely chunky white fish in nice batter and chips are nice too, also cant beat tonys chippy on mosborough!

tonys chippy on mosborough is good, went there last week

Taplin Road chippy used to be good. Not sure if it's still open.

[QUOTE=vix2000;7436325]Danni at Ranmoor Friery[QUOTE]



Ranmoor Friary is good but you don't get enough chips!

my mum used to work at the best chippy in sheffield at pond street bus station, called the friary

yea they were mint!:)

she also worked at the manerva next door as well

Dont go to sarahs plaise

Tony's at Mosborough is the best round this neck of the wood.

defo tony's I go all the way from Ecclesall to mosboro for them be prepared to wait though as there is always a queue

Woodseats Fisheries is the clear winner. It's so good that I walk past another good chip shop just to get my fix from there!! I've sampled a lot in Sheffield, but nothing like the W'Fisheries! I think estate agents have started using it as house selling points!

she also worked at the manerva next door as well

my sister in law brenda work there and the chippy as well

would that be brenda bellamy

would that be brenda bellamy

brenda lawson

who are you by the way, my mum may know her

who are you by the way, my mum may know her

brenda lawson is my sis in law, i am married to her elder sister

Oak House, I agree. Never got a decent fish from them.

Have been to two steps tonight ..rubbish ! the fish was just batter and more batter ! come on were paying enough it!!!

Try West End Fisheries in Woodhouse, the little one on the old folks estate near the Angel pub. Fish is lovely.

Had some from the Riverside over the bridge at Hillsborough corner - chips a bit soft but the cod tasted gorgeous and fresh.

the one in Crosspool is quite good

Big disappointment last week. Went to Trafalgar road chippy, had the haddock, it was dry and stale, not good. That chippy was excellent for years, what's happened to it?

The one at the bottom of Abbey Lane is good.

Chips should be brown, not white.

Batter should be golden and crispy, not pale yellow, thin, smooth and flaccid.

Fish should be snow white with large firm flakes.

I only mention this because it is difficult to find a chip shop that consistently does all these 3 things.

I'd agree with Tony's at Mosborough as being one of the best - because they do manage to do all 3.

poseidon at woodseats or devonshire chippy in devonshire green :-)

New Cod on The Block, commonside

Anyone got any tips for good chippys near Nether Edge? I've been to the one at Millhouses and that's alright. Just wondered if there were others worth checking out

Never had a problem with Abbey Friar tho mushy peas are watery!

Well Two Steps have seen the last of me.

They used to be superb untill a few months ago, but the last 4-5 times they have been terrible. Went in on Tuesday for last time. The fish was grey, the batter soggy and the chips tasteless.

Mind, the guy doing the frying looked incapeable of boiling an egg.

Grenoside chippy (Main Street) is the one for me. Trouble is, its only open about 2 nights a week. Anyway, the chips n fish are delicious and excellently consistent.

...that's if you can find any chips....stingy is a bit of an understatement

broomheads,crookes

taplin chippy hillsborough,always good

Going off topic a little, if you are out Bridlington/Filey way try Fish & Chips@149 on Marton Road. Without a doubt the best F&C I have ever had.

Because 9 out of 10 of them seem to have the inability to cook a decent crisp, golden chip. Do they actually care about repeat custom?????

Its not rocket science is it. The chippy i went to has been there years. Yet the meal i was served up half an hour ago was borderline offensive. Uncooked soggy white tasteless chips. 75% got binned as i filtered through the edible ones. I didn't even give my faithful canine a taste for fear he'd barf it up later.
Restore my faith and point me in the right direction.

Depends on where you are in the city but I love the chippy on Abbey Lane, Woodseats :love:

Worral Road.

Admiral Chippy at Mosborough

stradbroke chippy brill

Worral Road.i second that had them tonight they were fantastic.

Worral Road.

That up my neck of the woods. I went to Supper Spot on Loxley road. Never again. Will try that when i'm passing.

I'm not telling you, find it for yourself. :P

Bolehill chippy, Crookes
Poseidon, Woodseats
Rose Chippy, Hillsborough (by far better than the much more popular Rawsons:-Fish twice as big just a slightly long wait)

New cod on the block, common side is beautiful. :)

Broomheads at Crookes next to the Grindstone is superb, even if he is a Blade. Marishells on Ecclesfield high street are also nice (but a little expensive).

Got to be mannings at woodhouse near the george they are amazing and not small portions either would certainly not recommend oakhouse @ Handsworth over priced and mostly undercooked !!!!

Bolehill chippy, Crookes
Poseidon, Woodseats
Rose Chippy, Hillsborough (by far better than the much more popular Rawsons:-Fish twice as big just a slightly long wait)

Poseidon woodseats/abbey lane are really good :)

woodseats all the way

Broomheads at Crookes definitely. Beat all the other chippies in Crookes. It's the furthest one away from us so we have to drive to it so the chips don't get soggy.

Admiral Chippy at Mosborough

You go to Admiral with the best chippy in Sheffield (Tony's) round the corner?

Strange!

Poseidon woodseats/abbey lane are really good :)

I would second that, my mum used to like going there and she said it was 'very clean' (we used to liken her to Hyacinth Bucket at times) (Boookay) Their fishcakes are the best I have ever tasted in my life.

Best fish and chips are from Posiedon on Abbey Lane

off to whitby today - magpie cafe here I come...

skinner knows his fish & chips. I'd say Tony's is the best I've had since Harlequin shut down years ago. And the Magpie cafe in Whitby is legendary.

Thing is, fish & chips aint what it used to be. Most places turn out pale coloured chips, almost white and fish with very light yellow thin chewy batter on them.

The best chip shops still use beef dripping - but there aren't many of those left nowadays - I think it's politically incorrect or something.

Went to Tonys Sat deffo number one.

tonys mosborough

The one at firth park is nice, but portions should be bigger for price. ps. get them wrapped as the pigeons round there will mugg u.

Woodseats Fisheries is the clear winner. It's so good that I walk past another good chip shop just to get my fix from there!! I've sampled a lot in Sheffield, but nothing like the W'Fisheries! I think estate agents have started using it as house selling points!

I once went in there seeing the queue (a good chip shop has a queue which this normally has) but what put me off was the fact that they didn't sell FISHCAKES!! what sort of a chip shop is that?

Woodseats, and they sell very good fishcakes!

Definitely Two steps on sharrowvale road road! Its world famous!

Two Step Sharrow Vale !!

Two Step Sharrow Vale !!

No way no way the best is broomhill fisheries two step is good if you haven't got teeth just saggy!

Had chips from Newfield Green chippy saturday tried 2 chips and binned them worst chips ever undercooked greasy mess,didn't fancy complaining the two women in there look like angry bulldogs.

A good choice in town is Moorfoot Chippy - I don't go too often, but I've never been disappointed with quality, quantity & friendly service.
I have tried most of the other chip shops in the town centre !

best chippy we've been to is Poseidon on Abbey Lane.

never understood how you rate this question, seeing as there's one every few hundred metres in most towns and cities. saturated fat, saturated market i suppose.

They serve decent fish and chips at "a salt and battered" on London Road. It's popular on match days when the Blades are at home.

The only thing is, I went in there a few saturdays ago, about 2.30pm. I got in the queue for my fish and chips. I know they shut about 3pm when the match starts and they aren't keen on putting in extra fish if they've sold out. However, they'd got plenty of fish cooked, maybe a dozen or more, so I didn't think there'd be a problem. But when I got to the front of the queue and asked for fish and chips I was told they hadn't got any fish!

I pointed to the ones already cooked and they said, "they're all booked"! Blimey! So, you have to book a fish in advance now eh?

Anyone else come across this? Anyone know the "fish booking hotline" number for them? I've never heard of anything so daft in all my life.

Devonshire Chippy!!

I havent read through all this topic so dont know if anyone else has mentioned it but Harry's on Wostenholm Road (off Sharrow Lane) does nice fish and chips

New cod on the block, common side is beautiful. :)

Without a doubt - best chippy on the west side of Sheffield.

Tried it for the first time last night, and would call it a must for any true fan of fish and chips.
The cod king.
Bottom of bridge st in Killamarsh.
Classy place, and by far the best I have had in this area ever..

Anyone know what Man Friday is like on Shoreham Street, behind Bramall Lane?

My votes go to Brenda's in town, and the one in Castle Market, which is run by her sister! her brother used to run Woodseats but lately thay've not been as good so not sure if he still does.

You go to Admiral with the best chippy in Sheffield (Tony's) round the corner?

Strange!
Agree, the Admiral food is shocking ... last fish and chips we had from there went straight in the bin, greasy rubbish! Tony's is far better!

And why is Tony's so good?

One reason above all others for me...


HE COOKS IN BEEF DRIPPING NOT OIL

how many other chippies still use the tradtional method of frying in beef dripping? If you know any, please list them here.

And I'll bet they are also amongst the city's best chip shops as well.

Spot-on, went in recently, chips just flaccid and yellow! Ranmoor Friery is good.

DarnAll fisheries is nice azwell

Ok, hot debate time, what and where is the best chippy in Sheffield, chips have to be cooked in dripping or lard and they have to sell big white bread cakes covered in flour.

I think the best is Johns in Stocksbridge.

I think you have answered your own question, there are none where the chips are cooked in dripping or lard. :confused:

We've been working on London Road recently and have discovered the English fish n chip place almost next door to the Barrel. It's busy for a reason... :) (Lunchtimes, anyway, don't know if it's open later cos we're not around then)

I just love great fish and chips - but 90% of chip shops don't impress me.
New chip shop I just tried - but they only open lunchtime (till 2pm)
Tony's Fish Bar on Attercliffe Road.
the chips were TASTY - yummy.
they cook in beef dripping. The fish was one of the best i've had.
and all it cost me was £2.60 for fish and chips (and this was a regular fish! - not mini)
They had queues out the door when I went - and I can see why.
a pity they are lunchtime only.

where exactly is this? attercliffe road is very long .

Deffo Tony's for me.

Tony's fish bar is number 594 -just by the staniforth road junction.
They also do the real fish cakes - two slices of potato with fish in between.

If you do try them - I would like to know your comments - so post them on here

always been a great chippy!

where exactly is this? attercliffe road is very long .

It's the old Robin hood chippy thats been taken over as Robin hoods have moved into the omega sauna building and are now called Frymaster.

yes mafya - thats the one - same building as the old robin hood shop - they have named it Tony's fish bar and cafe. The cafe and restaurant is not open the but if the takeaway is anything to go by - its going to be a great little place to go for nice food. I love their fishcakes. decent portions for fish and chips.

Woodseats Fisheries.........best chippy round here, do's so well it closes early every day ! Leaves the evening trade to all the other local kebab, pizza, Indian, Chinese, chip shops.

Second that ! & word has it the same guy who owns it is to open a new chippy in Greenhill :):)

Broomhill Fishery is very good.

I had a gorgeous fishcake butty from the chippy in Castle Market at lunchtime. Hope that place can survive the market changes.

stans on intake if you ever luky enough for it to be open when you pass by

Why doesn't someone start doing delivery fish and chips? And why not a drive through fish and chip shop.

Off to try the UK's current #1 fish shop in Bridlington next Tuesday...

My faith in F&C has been restored - this was quite simply the best fish and chips I have ever eaten .

Even better than the magpie cafe in Whitby....

Really clean and modern place , loads of staff training and other certificates lining one wall.

Fish is fried to order (they ask you when you walk in what you want).

Very fresh fish (they even have a little blackboard saying which boat the catch is off).
Thin and very crispy batter , well cooked chips and homemade mushy peas.

Served in their own printed cardboard boxes.

Well worth a trip. If only somewhere in Sheffield could match this quality.

great fish and chips at taplin road fisheries hillsborough

taplin road fisheries very good

woodseats all the way

Yuck made me and the OH sick when we had some from there, there's one at crookes that do lovely fish and chips for a decent price too, its not the admiral its the other one that used to be called Bolehill Fisheries :)

try whitbys at catcliffe,sounds spookly very very similar !

deffinately Broomheads in Crookes, its the best by a mile, won tons of awards however you have to time it right as it isnt open much (sign of a good fish and chip shop, always fresh never frozen)

Ballifield Chippy and they do great Curry too !!

Ballifield Chippy and they do great Curry too !!

Err no...

Good fish and chip shops don't do curry, or kebabs, or burgers, or chicken.

That's a fact.

Went for fish and chip lunch today with wife and 6yr old grandson to Frymaster,the new(or relocated one from further down the road)one on Attercliffe Road - Fabulous!!Pity they are not open at night and licensed!
Only thing missing was a pint!!
My grandson is very particular(pain!!)when it comes to eating but he finished his childrens version and pinched some of mine and the wifes - excellent portions,price,value and service!

Err no...

Good fish and chip shops don't do curry, or kebabs, or burgers, or chicken.

Maybe back in the 1960's but nowadays chippys do all sorts to boost profits.

icelandic frozen at sea is probably the best fish. Clean water,deep frozen as soon as its caught and from well managed stocks. UNLIKE ,caught in sewage dumpted waters around our coasts. Kept on a boat for god only knows how many days. Fresh is not allways the best when it comes to fish.

give the new whitbys restaurant a try at catcliffe. great fish and light crispy batter, very nice quality. went last week. cant compare to your recommendation as havent tried that one, but this new one is as good as the magpie if not better.

I can name a place where you definitely will NOT get the best fish and chips in Sheffield. Admiral on Birley Moor Road. I went today and came out with a huge portion of tasteless potato and watery fish :gag:

New Cod on the Block, Commonside!

tried whitbys last week takeaway. the chips were white as snow ie undercooked , the fish smelt the car out all way home ,and the fishcake we threw out for the birds. the fish was undercooked.and we tasted it for 2 days never again. back to stans top of woodhouse rd..fresh out golden brown snow white fish. and no smells in your car

I wish i had gone to Stans instead of the Admiral. I haven't had anything from Stans in a long time. I wish he would open a chippy near me!

Marieshells at Ecclesfield. They call from miles. Marie the owner is absolutely spotless and the food is scrummy. Trust me, you will not be disappointed x

One thing i find annoying in general, is how most fish and chip chops will fry their fish in the same oil as the pork sausages :gag:

Are there any places that dont partake in this abhoral practise?

I quite like my sausage a bit fishy.

rose in hillsboro is good value

you had a bad un then, we have had them twice now on takeaway and they were perfect.

Another Whitby's here, fresh and crispy and cooked in dripping, just a shame there's too much with chips so will stick to fish & mushy peas next time.
Also worth mentioning that they do gluten free batter for fish or you can have it poached and the chips are done in a separate frier too.

in the interests of research (!) and being a greedy chuff i managed another portion of fish n chips tonight for tea from Whitbys :)
spot on quality, red hot, fresh out, and now feeling very full.:)

Just wanted to put a post on bigging up the Chip Shop in the centre of Stocksbridge. Historically it has not been too good but the new owner George has really improved it.

All food is cooked fresh to order so you may have to wait 5 mins but it is worth it. Beautiful cod and home made fish cakes are to die for.

Give it a go - I am not on commision although a free fish supper on a Friday tea will be greatfully received !!

Darnall fisheries...craving it like mad right now! bang on chip shop

Not long ago on here I recommended the Abbey Friar at the bottom of Springfield Road. It seems that it has gone massively downhill since then. Went the other day with the OH, both got cod, chips and mushy peas and I wasn't that impressed. The cod was flavourless, and the batter floury and not very nice. The mushy peas, again very bland and the chips, well, they were average. It was very disappointing considering i'd spent ages telling the OH how fantastic it was. At for over a tenner as well, they weren't the cheapest.

Does anyone know if the chips at Whitby's are cooked in dripping or vegetable fat?

It pure beef drippin , the Proper traditional way.

the best name is Codrephenia

"Traditional" English fish and chips, what a joke! I see so many signs above shops stating that fact.
I have joined a family of fish friers that are now 3rd generation in this industry.
Any shop that claims to be traditional and sells chips cooked in vegetable oil, fish or should I say codlings cooked in factory made batter should be fined for false advertising!

But I have to hold my hands up, we now use frozen at sea Icelandic cod instead of fresh and frozen sausage, but we still use the same recipe for making our batter, and still make yorkshire fishcakes.

I believe anything else is not a chip shop.....it's just another fast food outlet run by people that don't have a clue about "traditional"

So if you want tasteless fish in a inch of batter, or pale chips with no taste, or kebabs, burgers etc just look for the shops that claim to be traditional, because good shops don't claim it they ARE traditional!!

rant over lol

If you REALLY wanted to know skinner, you would search to find the answer
If you thought I was advertising my or our families chip shops then I must have forgot to list them!

Whitby at catcliff its a good price and great portion sizes

Carnaby Road chip shop, just off Walkley Lane, Fish always cooked fresh,not greasey.

Forget Sheffield, get thissen to Whitby or Brid:hihi::hihi::love:

Does anyone have the number/e-mail for Robs Fish and Chips @ greenhill? Thanks

Can`t answer your question but can you give me an opinion on the quality of their food. I have not tried the food yet but whenever I have driven past there has always been lengthy queues.

the best ones are the ones who never overcook the fish and leave it sitting in a hot cupboard

4mins deep fried hot oil cooked in front of you..

So how long if it's cut from 32oz+, 4 mins is ok for small codling, but then if they are using codling they are not using mature fish, which do you prefer then? over fished "young" cod that is being depleted? Or mature cod responsibly fished and cut from the thick part of the fillet cannot be cooked in 4 mins?

Best one ive ever had in sheffield is the one in hillsborough opposite rawsons spring. Lovely.

The Admiral at Crookes

The best chippy in Sheffield bar none is Robin Hoods Bay on Attercliffe Road.

But for the best overall go to Bob Carvers in Hull as they still get the fish fresh from the docks every morning.

Ive always been fond of the Arundel chippy on Arundel Road, Chapeltown.

Closed Mondays & Tuesdays.

Forget Sheffield, get thissen to Whitby or Brid:hihi::hihi::love:

Whitby's good, but if tha wants proper fish and chips, get thissen to Grimsby :love: :hihi:

In sheff i would suggest trafalgar fisheries just of halifax rd s5 and 1 for best chippy in uk weatherby whaler weatherby north yorkshire never had fish n chips so good even fro seaside there truly scrumptious!!!

would agree with that about RHB at Attercliffe, but has it recently changed hands and is it still any good?

New Cod on Commonside. Lovely food and staff.

i dont know about sheffield but the best fish and chips ive tasted have come from the oban fish and chip shop in oban

and for the person who said that the cod would not cook in 4 1/2 mins .. a very strange chippy in aldgate used to do amazin big cod all cooked to order .. i timed the cooking of that perfect cod and they cooked it in 4 1/2 mins from the time it went in to the time it came out. spent half my salary in the place

The Admiral at Crookes

I tottaly agree, The Admiral in crookes is by far the best chippy i have ever been to (and that is allot:hihi:)

Dont know about you Mick but i allway's get the lunch time special (chipp's, small fish, sausage & curry)
And it is spot on every time. Trust me SF users it is the best:thumbsup:

RHB have moved into the old omega sauna building and are now called Frymaster.

Whitby at catcliff its a good price and great portion sizes

Those are the 2 things I don't look for in a good chip shop. Price and Portion sizes.

I couldn't care less if it's £10 for fish and chips - if the quality is excellent I'd pay it.

And those chip shops that tend to serve HUGE portion sizes seem to be very popular these-days. This trend towards providing HUGE portions was started by foreigners coming here and setting up fish and chip shops in order to outdo the traditional ones. They couldn't beat them on quality, so they beat them on quantity, with really huge fish and 1 portion of chips big enough to feed a whole family.

Sadly, it caught on.

Whitby at catcliff its a good price and great portion sizes

Been today and had a lovely starter of smoked salmon and monkfish terrine with hot toast. then I had the fish and chips with mushy peas. The fish and batter was perfect but the chips let them down. The chips are far far too dry.
The place is clean friendly and I'd go back again. I know it's suppose to be based on the Magpie [ so I've heard ] at Whitby but that would take some beating but it definately beats Harry Ramsdens.

Anything beats Harry Ramsdens. It's been a joke since 1988.

what a load of rubbish, good price for a takeaway £1.60 for chips?
you dont mind if they are any good but unfortunately they are not!!!
too heavyhanded with the pepper and the same old mushed up fish in the fishcakes, tonys at mosborough beats any other chippy hands down

I agree with your recommendation of Tony's - but he doesn't open Mondays does he? As I found out to my peril this week! Someone said the Admiral was good - and it is - but not in the same league as Tony's. The Admiral is another one of those, "let's give them the biggest, longest V-shaped fish we can, plus enough chips to feed half the population of Owlthorpe".

and it's not cod either!

Brenda's on Earl Way, or the Castle Market Chippy. Bouth part of the same family. Both excellent. I believe the new one at Greenhill and the Woodseats Chippy, and maybe Robin Hoods Bay, are all part of the same family.

Last lot I had from Woodseats weren't as good as I expected. Fish was overcooked and the batter didn't seem as good. Maybe a one-off though as they've always been excellent in the past.

I have bought many, many portions of fish and chips from Woodseats Fisheries over the last 10 years, but I would like to say that, in my opinion, something has changed in the last year or so that has stopped me from going back as regularly.

I do still buy from there, because I pass it on the way home (and it's better than the red one on the left and the one on Meadowhead) but it's genuinely not what it was.

My mate, visiting from Portsmouth one weekend, always raved on about "that portion of fish and chips he had in Sheffield".

Anyway, the strange thing is - it's very difficult to put my finger on exactly what has changed. I believe it to be the fish itself, but I could be convinced otherwise if someone said they knew for sure. I have also noticed many more instances of bones being present in the fish, which I think there is no excuse for.

Hippo

Well, the guy who did run it (brother of Liz who runs Brenda's in town) left and now runs Joe's Chippy in Greenhill. I think another family member now runs Woodseats but I agree, it's not keeping up the family standard!
Still good but not excellent.

1. Abbey Lane
2. Loch Fyne
3. Bishops Coffee House and Bistro on a Thursday

Best chippy by far is the frymaster at attercliffe (used to be robinhood), its new premises are across road, much bigger and nicer, still best chippy in sheffied. Would highly rcommend.

Does anyone know what the opening hours are for the Four Lanes on Leppings Lane? It's normally closed when I go past, but sounds like the food is good if you're lucky with the timings!

Tried the new one at Bocking Lane last week. The chips were ok but the service was a bit slow. So today I went back to the one in Greenhill Village and as usual was very happy, with the quality, price and service.

Best - Devonshire Chippy
Worst - Northern Sole

best = Brendas
worst = devonshire

Can I know where can I get the best fish and chips with good value of money near Sheffield town center??
Many thanks!!!

Try Betty's fish and chips on Fitzwilliam St opposite Revolution.

I have heard good things about the new Whitbys restaurant/take away at Catcliffe but from experience, Mannings at Woodhouse has got to be my favourite...

When we where younger a load of us got in our cars all put too for petrol and went to skegvagas for fish and chips had an hour in amusments and drove back :P

We did similar one day early in December.

It snowed.

I've often been tempted to do the Cleethorpes run (as it's almost all motorway, it's pretty cheap - petrol wise - to get there).

worst is trawllers catch on castle gate, been twice once fishcake was cold and slimy stupidly went in again about a week before xmas and sausage was raw inside even though waited to cook fresh battered one, she didnt even apologise and i had to ask for some fresh chips as she expected me to eat the old ones cold by the time another sausage was properly cooked for me.

should've kicked off but just couldn't be arsed.

"Beckets" aswas at Manor Top, fish was like it had been done for three times longer than it should have been, plenty of not first class chips though

It isnt that near to the town centre but the best chippy i have been to is The Admiral at crook's.
They are spot on every time, I usually get the lunchtime special:
Small fish
Chips
Sossage
Choice of sauce
All for £2.30, And it is loverly every time, trust me you carnt go wrong

my vote for best, marishells at ecclesfield
my vote for worst, cottage fish bar ecclesfield

Best Ive had are at Bridlington, think its fishandchipsat149.co.uk/

Back to Sheffield, Manor Top, Manor park centre (lunchtime) and Darnall fisheries,
The one on attercliffe road near bottom of staniforth road used to be good too.

Threads merged

My chippy of choice is Jimmy's Plaice on the corner of Ecclesall and Rustlings roads by Endcliffe Park. Always very high quality and the guys who work in there are really friendly too.

Agree with you on that one mate, very good.

Best - Highgate Fisheries, Tinsley.
Two Steps, Sharrow Vale Road.


Worst - Any chain ones (Admiral etc.) and any that open all day and sell EVERYTHING.

149 fish and chips are brilliant, with Brid Bay Fisheries on the north shore near the Expanse hotel coming a close second!

Admiral chip shops are shocking, I agree!

Tried Whitbys yesterday and was really impressed.

Fish was very fresh and perfectly cooked with a light batter , chips were crunchy and tasty, peas were good and tasted like proper homemade ones.

Big carpark , bright clean space inside with large tables. Service friendly and efficient.

Will definitely be back. £ 8.95 for decent sit down fish and chips sounds pretty good value to me.

Wife and I like McGinty's in Hornsea ... Haddock and Chips, £3.70 and probably the best I've ever had!

alberts on city road.mixed kebab on nan is the best in sheffield.

Just a shame there chips nearly made me sick i had to chuck them in the bin they were swimming in fat when i bought some the other week :gag: it was absolutely disgusting needless to say i will never be going back there for chips again.

Any chip shop that sells Kebabs I give a wide berth! Greeks and Chinese are hopeless when it comes to fish and chips!

Cleethorpes run is good and the cafe owner at the side of the railway station on sea-front is an ex-sheffielder but in sheff i love handsworth chips done in real beef dripping,some people say they are burnt because they are brown like chips used to be in olden days

broomheads in crookes and valley rd are by far the best in sheff

hi just wondering were can i find the best chippy in sheffield just wondering what u would suggest and what is the worst

Best :love:
Arundel Road Fisheries - Chapeltown
The Supper Spot - Loxley Road

Worst :gag:
Les'als Plaice or whatever they call it now on Greengate Lane - High Green

Which one in Handsworth.

Best - Brenda's or Castle Market Chippy
Worst - Trawler's Catch

Although Chip Shops are widely regarded to be the work of the devil, I believe that God would buy his chips from the one on Derbyshire Lane (is it called the abbey friar?).

Don't bother with chippies much as they are generally very poor now around here, especially the Admiral on Frecheville shops. Anyway after seeing the recommendations on here we went all the way to Tonys at Mosborough.

Well either its been taken over or they lost the plot on Saturday evening. Everything we had, for a family of 6, was absolutely awful. Overcooked beyond belief and the dark brown batter made everything taste like it had been cooked in old, burnt oil.

Never going there again.

I think Tony's has changed ownership ... not a patch on what it was 5 yrs ago!

Three Sheffield chippy's here!

Having moved from a fishing town, I have to bid for Two Steps - excellent quality fish! Don't bother on a Friday night though - still good fish, but it's so busy that the batter tends to be a bit soggy.

Green Steps (their other place round the corner) is also really good if you fancy something different. They do gluten free fish and chips, which is a bit like having your fish wrapped in Nik-Naks - bright orange, but really crunchy!

The best i ever went to was right in the middle of pitsmoor just down from the rock in a little white cottage, dunno if its still open but it only used to open on a friday tha knows

i remember that chippy from ny childhood it was a good chippy then i know its still there but i cant remember what road its on anyone help

the one i like the best is at norwood shops up southy the best fash and chips around and thier fishcake butties are fantastic if anyones near there now will you get me one please and i will pick it up later or if you deliver it to chesterfield that would be great

:) Union Jack in Dore ;)

the worst chip shops are the ones that u have to search through the chips to find the nice ones it really puts me off the one on lowedges is like that its changed hands a few times but none of them seem to get it right on how to cook chips its the worst chippy going we live on lowedges an we go past it to go to the one on woodseats its much better and better staff
