Fish and Chips

[amelia]

Freddy wish I had a penny for all the times I stood in the queue on a Friday in the chip shop in Cavendish St next to Mary Purries the sweetie shop.
We stayed in Salisbury St up until it was all demolished.

Would that be a "New" penny or an "Old" real penny, Amelia!

Hi Amelia.My auntie sent me for a whole load of fish and chips one Friday night. "mind and go to the Cavvy". She said. But I knew their would be a massive queue on a Friday night, so I just went round the corner to Chrissies in Pollockshaws rd, facing the Granite City Bar. There was hell to pay when I got back .Chrissies chips were rotten and I was in the dog house for weeks. Surreyboy.

Hi Tweedlie5 + Gang,
Yes I remember as I grew into a young man and started drinking in the pubs that the aroma coming from the chippy when the pubs closed was so mouth watering, I know the Chinese and Indian restaurants came along but the smell of the Fish and chip shop was something else, and maybe a few pickled onions as a bonus. Iv'e lived /worked in a few different countries and tried their fish and chips but ye canny beat the Glasgow fish supper.
Regards.

I live in Rutherglen and I go to Milads in Castlemilk rd, Kings Park side, for our special fish suppers, you get two fish, so one does the two of us
Its Kurds who run it now and have done for a few years

The longest queue for a fish shop on a Friday night was probably the deep sea at the top of crown street, my mother would take me with her to get our fish suppers and it was fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

Our chip shop was the same as Surreyboy there was always a big queue on a Friday night, maybe I stood next to you
But I liked Marios was only in the Unique once it was a great place for the taxi drivers
Greasy Peters was in Rutherglen road. Do you remember "dirty Maggies" Danny?
