Best Fish n Chips in town

Rhand

Hiya lads,

Been living here now for almost a year and never had me some Fish n Chips.
What's the best place to get one in D1 or D2?

agreed

Burdocks is only for tourists. Morellis Thomas st or Fuscos Meath st....best of all is original borza , crumlin cross

Burdocks are average. The italians chippers are better IMO.

The Bishop Basher

Dont know why people always recommend Burdocks ?? Is it sheep mentality or what ? Never had great food from there. Plus 1 for Fusco's. !

So, while there are opinions that Burdocks ain't great... nobody has suggested anywhere else? I'm not fond of Fish so I don't feel qualified to give much of an opinion. I did get Fish and Chips from Burdocks in Christchurch a few years back. The lasting impression was that their customer service was good.

I read (on boards.ie I think) that the Kingfisher on Parnell St is supposed to be good for fish and chips.

New chipper called The Fryer beside the petrol station on the quays is the nicest I have tasted in a long time. They freshly batter the fish in front of you which I think adds to the taste as a lot of places half cook the fish and they finish it off when you order. Their chips are gorgeous as well and their portions are big and prices lower than city centre. Hungry now and it's only 11am!!

Little bit further a field but Beshoff Bros on Haddington Road.

Is that beside the TOP station on Ushers Quay

Been looking for a place that batters and cooks the fish fresh instead of par cooked and reheated later. Like it fresh.

Was the fish good?

Yeah just beside the TOP garage parking is on the TOP forecourt think the same people own both. fish was gorgeous. There is a big foreign guy who seems to be the manager when he is there it is perfect, sometimes when he is off the oil can be dirty or you get small scrappy chips but never happened when he was there. It is open about 3/4 months now since the garage reopened. I live close by so it's a little to easy on my way home from work.

I'm no tourist. I'd rate Burdocks as the best in the city. It's a subjective thing, and wouldn't expect everyone to agree, but it's a perfectly valid opinion nonetheless. I'd never opt for Morellis over Burdocks. Kingfisher is grand, but not in the same league.

Leo Burdocks was such a disappointment tbh. Too pricey as well.

I've eaten in the Kingfisher on Parnell St a few times and have yet to be disappointed though it is pricey for what you get. Never had a takeaway from there though.

i came here to say the kingfisher. it is, imo head and shoulders above burdocks. i honestly dont know wht so many people seem to think that burdocks is good. its average and the branch in rathmines is terrible whereas the kingfisher is lovely
fuscardi on capel street is great but i think its closed

Kingfisher has to be the best in town, have tried the Fryer too and was very impressed. Most of the Italians are ok. Never rated Burducks or Beshoffs.

Mespil Road isn't it? Either way imo it's way to greasy! Bistro at Leonards Corner or Macaris in Inchicore would be my picks.

Most Italian chippers are crap imho

Had 'em all over and Burdock's Christchurch is my number 1. Very fond of Beshoffs in Howth and Mespil Road too. Plenty of really good chippers around but Burdock's is the best.

It's open but is gone to the dogs. It might be in a different location to three years ago, it was on the NCR, it's now at the shopping centre.

I ordered a delivery from there and there was a mobile phone in my chips. In the same bag touching the chips. I rang up to complain I was expecting replacement chips, the guy had a bottle of coke for my troubles. No chips that night for me and I haven't eaten there since.

But there is also Fusciardi's on Marlborough Street, which is excellent.

It was opposite Kelly Carpets ,which used to be the State Cinema years ago .They were just before Phibsborough Library as you walk East .They moved to Phibsborough Shopping Centre about 8 years ago now .
There used to be a slightly fat Chinese guy in charge ,but maybe he has since gone .

bobin fudge

yeah, remember it now -thanks!

In my days as a student in the lat 80s early 90s, the fryer in Burdock's was coal fired.... there was something truly special about their chips back then - especially if you could not afford fish and you got a big scoop of the crispy bits....

I'm not sure when they replaced the coal fryer, but was back down there a while back and they were not the same at all....

puffishoes

for me anyway you have to look outside the chippers now for something daycent.

the chippers are all basically using the same processed shiote.

L . Mulligan Grocer on manor st normally have some form of fish n chip on with beer mayo. unbeatable imo. The crap that passes for fish in chippers is outrageous.
