Good effort by Robe Seafood and Takeaway. Crispy and light batter, excellent chips. Just the thing on a long, solo road trip.

The Aussies are the only others that understand fish n chips. That looks fucking superb

Usually accompanied by Irn Bru or Vimto, rather than overpriced fruit water though, but I'll let you off πŸ˜‚

Now imagine it's a haggis super with salt and sauce.

Chip game looks weak, can’t see that yellow sheen of chicken salt.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I've tried and failed to find chicken salt in Europe and I'm starting to think it's either not as good as yous say, or it's banned πŸ˜…

[–] Onii-Chan@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

It is definitely that good. We just don't want to share it.

[–] Guntrigger@feddit.ch 1 points 2 years ago

I had to look up what chicken salt is and despite what it says on Wikipedia, I've never seen it in the UK. However, it seems very similar to something I had in Iceland called "KartΓΆflukrydd", which translates roughly as "potato spice" and can be found under a similar name through Scandinavia at least.

MSG based seasonings are definitely not banned though. Maggi is very popular in central Europe and I think that is literally just MSG and salt.

I lived in the UK for 10 years and am married to a Scot, so I understand the similarities and differences!

Fun fact: There's two places in the world where Coca Cola is not the leading drink.

Irn Bru outsells Coke in Scotland, and Iced Coffee outsells Coke in South Australia.

Dandelion & Burdock is a popular drink with fish n chips in Northern UK. :)

Shut your haggis-hole Hamish!

[–] Lophostemon@aussie.zone 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wee bit light on the fish though eh?

[–] swearengen@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Depends on how much it cost. Looks like a nice light lunch if the price was right.

[–] Lophostemon@aussie.zone 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Everything is too fucking expensive in Australia.

[–] Idreamofcheesy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd say it's alright for 4 bucks or less.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Remedy! I had no idea they were in Australia

Needs a fried dimmy to top it off

Looks amazing! One question: is that pronounced robe or robe?

[–] BuffLemmyworlder@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

We have it in South Africa too

Why isn't this wrapped in newspaper? Oh wait, I guess newspapers barely exist any more :(

[–] CopernicusQwark@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Why on earth would you want fish and chips in actual newspaper? I hate the idea of getting that ink on my food.

Every fish and chip shop I've been to either does the boxes shown or butcher's paper.

Doies good effort mean something different in Australia? In the US that would translate as "nice try, but not great."

I ask because those look amazing, just need some vinegar

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Good effort = They performed well.

I swear Robe in SA is one of those places where it's a 1 hour drive to the next town, across the most arid coast you could imagine. I've only been in the area once.
