Fish and chip bros...
>>21943939I have a fish and chip shop nearby that’s awesome (although sometimes they skimp on the fish), if they closed I’d be very upsetAlso the logo for that channel an anthropomorphic turnip?
>>21943939Australia still does good fish and chips.
>>21944460Yeah but the reason they're declining is they've priced themselves out of the market. People used to go to fish n chip shops cuz you used to be able to feed a family with $2 of chips and maybe two $3 pieces of cod (one each for mum and dad). Been to a chippie lately? Shit costs $30 just to feed one person, and most of the time the quality is ass and the shop is in that dodgy meth-head part of town.You're better off dropping $20 on bags of shit from the frozen section and doing it yourself at home.
>>21944445We know, but this is a thread about fish and chips. Go to Youtube Comments if you want to cry about britfags willingly voting in Starmer.
>>21944460ism?
>>21943939What could be the signs of this strange phenomenon...anyways back to ye olden but newden kebab shoppe
It was popular because it was cheap. Now it isn't cheap anymore since China fished away what was left of the already crippled fish population
>>21944548Fucking chinks
>>21944548I miss when chicken wings were dirt cheap. Now they're the most expensive cut.
>>21944555they'll probably stop being expensive again once they're out of fashion - Oysters used to be cheap as fuck, now they cost a bomb, and conversely Pineapples used to cost as much as a castle in europe, but now you can get them by the tin. Might not be in our lifetimes, but hey it is what it is. >>21944530also yeah, kebabs do everything these days so most just go to them, or they get shit from uber-jeets. I usually go for a chinese if I want a takeaway, plus they (as well) do a chippy dinner if you fancy it (although not as good as an actual chippy).>>21944460I'd like to try an Aussie chippy some day, as it looks like a UK version but a bit fresher, plus they have weird fish available instead of just haddock, or pollock.
>>21943939Where I'm from I cannot even get floury potatoes anymore.The only ones available at the grocer are shit breeds that are too waxy to make chips with.I recently learned of a conspiracy about fast food chains buying up all the floury potatoes for themselves. So they would have a monopoly on good chips.
>>21944548I imagine things will get better within the next 2 to 4 years. Chinas oil supply is now on deaths door after Venezuela and Iran have been taken off the table and with Iran sperging out and throwing random shots at Qutari oil fields it wouldn't surprise me to see China start instituting national oil rationing. Anyways where I am going with this is they probably won't be able to maintain those fucking pirate fishing fleets anymore that fleece countries local fishing supplies.
>>21944820you can still make wedges/flat chips with waxy potatoes if you boil them a little beforehand. They turn out a bit more like roast potatoes, but they're pretty good imo
>>21943939Imagine being that much of a faggot that instead of just taking a photo outside your local chippy you generate an AI background and fish and chips.
>>21944497You aren't a bong.
I find these YouTube "exposé" videos really irritating."Did you know good thing is actually... Le bad???" Yes faggot everything on the whole fucking planet is worse now.
>>21944820Truly the capitalistic enshittification of everything continues
>>21944871>you can still make wedges/flat chips with waxy potatoes if you boil them a little beforehandDepends entirely on the variety. If they turn out like roast potatoes, they are not even waxy but like a hybrid. Unfortunately the ones that are available are even too waxy for that. They just brown on the outside and remain hard. No crisp at all.It's just shit.>>21944948That's truly how I feel. Like, even fucking potatoes they ruin.
>>21943939I'm reduced to living on lentils and rice like a little Indian fella, can't even afford meat never mind such a luxury as a takeaway.
>>21944820Maris Piper & King Edward dont count as floury? those and redskins are all i seem to see
>>21944830People should just finally shoot those fucking pirates.
>>21945081In a lot of jurisdictions it is
>>21945092>it isLegal or IllegalOr did you mean to say they are or they won't
>>21945094I coulda sworn your post was "it should just be legal to shoot these pirates"But yes, legal
>>21944497You are very fat to be spending $30 at a chip shop just to feed yourself. $10-$15 worth of chips is enough to OMAD. And yeah. Fish or chicken is expensive from them. But I don't even think they're all price gouging much. The cost of rent is crazy.
>>21943939thats not binleys mega chippy
>>21944830Russia can literally supply all the oil China needs
>>21944948>>21944985Fuck you commie bitches
>>21946009>£8, £5, £7.50, £7.50, £7.50, £8, £6.Back in 2000 a portion of chips was 90p. A fish supper was £1.50. A cowboy supper was £1.30.Prices have increased 500% since then, but wages since then have increased by around 50%. In short, we can’t justify the outrageous prices.
>>21943939for me its fish n hushpuppies
>>21946719You do realise that you are quoting the prices from the picrel which are in Dollars and somehow using the Pound sterling symbol in your post? >Back in 2000 a portion of chips was 90p. A fish supper was £1.50.You are not British and I don't think you are very bright.
>>21945072You voted for it.
>>21946719>A cowboy supper was £1.30.Nobody here in the UK would have the slightest clue what a 'cowboy supper' is ? I have never seen it in any British chippy.
>>21946789Sausage beans and chips. A proper Scottish supper.
>>21946805What's Scottish about it? This is eaten everywhere in the UK.
>>21944555I used to work near a place that had 50 cent wings on Wednesdays, I'd go there after work with the coworkers who were actually worth spending time with. My dad scoffed at even paying that much for wings because he remembers when they were garbage parts that butchers would give to poor people.
>>21946816It's called a cowboy supper in th UK
>>21946938Never heard of it in my life
>>21946941Not him but when I was Googling it the first recommended additions to "cowboy supper" were "chippy" and "Ireland." It's news to me too.
>>21944497the shops choose to buy bigger fish rather than smaller fish and so need to charge more. at british fish markets you can buy haddock of different sizes. instead of buying the smaller size and giving more in a portion, they buy the bigger size and so have to charge more.if they sold 1 and a half smalls they could charge less than selling one larger haddock but retarded british people woudln't like that. so instead a fish supper is £12 or whatever. of course the demand for the bigger fishes make it more expensive still.
>>21944548>China has denuded the seasFirstly, no. The seas are huge.Secondly, the Thais are just as bad, to get stuff to feed their fish and shrimp farms.Thirdly, enjoy your Alaskan king crab and Maine lobster while you can, they’re being massively overfished as well. >>21944460Australia conserves its fisheries pretty well but good luck finding Aussie seafood in a chippa. Scallops are generally Chilean or Peruvian, hoki’s from NZ, calamari is industrially processed crap made in Asia. It hurts because some family friends have just closed their chippa after 20+ years in the business because they can’t make a living off it any more.
>>21948124>fish are sold by numbers not weight…am I reading that right?
>>21946938>It's called a cowboy supper in th UKNo it's not. I have NEVER seen this before at all.After checking it seems to be limited to a couple of chippies in NI.
>>21949676I think the Americanization of the UK has started, enjoy hot dogs and cheesesteaks instead of chippies m8
>>21946938No it fucking isn't Gupta
>>21943939A fish supper is now about £10. 100 years ago a fish supper was 1.5p which would be £10 now but that was 1.5p in the old money when there were 240 pence in a pound so it's actually about £3.5050 years ago a fish supper was about 40p and dole money was £26,50 a week, so you could but 63 fish suppers a week on the dole. Now you could get 12. I could absolutely offer a profitable fish supper at £5, everyone is just getting gouged on everything
>>21946921Fuck man when my brother and I were kids my dad and his friend used to take us to some local wing place and we would get a hundred wings and drinks for like 20 bucks. Shit was incredible, I miss that place. And Joe Viggs pizza.
>>21945092>In a lot of jurisdictions it isAs in international waters?
