Torquay food and match thread

I am going to this one, taking the little grandson on his first away game. He order fish and chips for his evening meal. Should we have it in Paignton or Torquay?

Go to Babbacombe and get 'em here. Top notch.

Some sell white fish instead of cod, some fish shops in Plymouth Barbican awful better to keep away from them.
So it better to ask where to go.

Beat Truro 1 - nil on Saturday

most chip shops are selling white fish now days some dont even admitt it. they do it due to the price cod and its numbers dropping in the ocean

One on Barbican got caught and fined



A CHIP shop owner sold a cheaper fried river fish from Asia and pretended it was cod, a court heard.

Nicholas Achilles has been fined £4,000 and ordered to pay £1,500 costs for selling the Asian river fish panga instead of cod in Plymouth's historic Barbican.

Plymouth magistrates heard that he sold hundreds of fried panga portions advertised as cod from the Platters takeaway yards from the home of the city's fishing fleet. Never been near since

When is the Turks game ?

PS>> Beware of the seagulls, they don't give a fook if it's cod or panga !!!

same meal and ingredients at the end of day no matter where in the world you eat them.

It the way it cooked and prepared, what oil/fat, batter and potatoes used, if it cooked fresh.

Two shops together


Harbour side and Barbican fish shops you try both and see (taste) the different.


Best one for me in Plymouth Perillas

Panga are farmed in one of the most polluted rivers on the planet.

Aye, times were 'ard back then bhey.

(What a good old-fashioned hi-jack this is)

Had my first flat just round the corner from Benbow St chippy about 25 yrs ago. Portions were proper 'laugh out loud' huge. Quality of spud was poor though.

My top 3 Plymouth chippys would be...

West Park chippy - a good all rounder
Harbourside (Southside St) great flavour, good portion size
West Hoe chippy - very tasty but smallish portions.

Rockfish is good but I usually eat in(unlimited chips ) does that count or do you have to take away ?
