stpetre   12 #61 Posted June 24, 2017 Rotherhammers LOL  I've had stuff from Rotherham chip shops and no complaints there. Having worked in the London area many times, their 'fisheries' included items like 'Savaloys' and 'Faggots' (the food kind), they weren't keen on mushy peas tho', perhaps a northern thing ?

andrejuan   10 #62 Posted June 24, 2017 I remember the one at the top shops on Lowedges in the 1970's. Must admit I always thought the owner was a bloke. Can picture him now. Receding hair at the front. Used to go in there when the Grennell Mower called time.  If I remember correctly, the Son of the woman who owned it took over when she retired? I think she was Mrs Harris or Harrison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Â The reason I said Rotherhammers was in answer to the post about fish slices. I initially grew up in the Rotherham area, loosely( Catciffe and Brinsworth) and recall a few people referring to fish cakes as fish slices especially my grandmother. Mind you she was originally from Ilkeston in Derbyshire and maybe she picked that up there. Concerning " faggots" people here in Canada are skeptical when I tell them that it is a kind of meatball in the UK lol Edited June 26, 2017 by TORONTONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
hillsbro   33 #65 Posted June 26, 2017 Heard someone today talking about a fish slice as opposed to a fishcake. These people clearly need Sheffield education!!The same applies to Lincolnshire folk. Proper fishcakes are hard to find in Lincolnshire but when you do find a chippy that sells them they call them fritters. What we call rissoles they call fishcakes. Funny lot in Lincolnshire...

Â Actually fishcakes is the most common term for what we called rissoles After all a rissole is really any form of minced meat or fish encrusted in bread crumbs and deep fried. If you buy them frozen. they are called fishcakes. I think this is why some people called our popular chippy fishcakes, fish slices, so as to distinguish the two. After all they are 2 slices of potato with a piece of fish in the middle, battered and deep fried. Fancy a couple right now, actually. Fat chance of that over here though.

jaffa1 Â Â 10 #68 Posted June 26, 2017 Not in Sheffield chippies it isn't. Â I'll go along with that one. In Sheffield a fishcake is two slices of potato with fish in the middle then dipped in batter and fried. A rissole is .....well a rissole of course. It's been like that since Sheffield had its first chippy I suggest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
hobinfoot   25 #69 Posted June 27, 2017 Torries on Grimsthorpe Rd in the 60s. You could get good fish & chips from a lot of places back then because they were fried in dripping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
