Visit the Pier. There are not many left in England now, and they are a great part of our heritage. The laines are a nice place to wander down as well with lots of quaint shops and cafes. Walking on the beach without a care in the world, getting my head together and feeling happier than I have done in a very long time.
Fish and Chips - A Great British Tradition
by amapola66
Fish and chips, is a great British tradition, although not quite the same as it was when I was small, the basic idea hasn't changed.
I remember 'going down the chippy', usually on a Friday night, and getting our fish and chips served in old newpaper wrapping.
It was a cheap option then - Now, due to cod prices going through the roof (oooh the price of fish these days) and ermmm other things I'm sure, a decent fish and chip supper (fish and chips is always referred to as 'supper' rather than dinner for some reason) can set you back 7 quid.
Fish and chips from fish and chip shops are freshly prepared from natural products. Fillets of fish, mostly haddock or cod but sometimes plaice and whiting, are covered in batter, fried until golden and served with freshly chipped potatoes
When I was a kid, it was always cod or rock salmon (the latter with a bone down the middle) with chips, ketchup and a giant pickled onion. We should not forget the two slices of stodgy white processed bread thick with real butter and a good strong mug of tea.
Yum.
When in Brighton, grab some fish and chips to take away and go and munch them on the beach. There's nothing like it on an autumn evening.
Best fish and chip shop locally?
It has to be Bardsleys in Baker Street, off the London Road. Unpretentious and friendly, they serve up the best fish & chips in town.Thin batter makes for thin and light food, not greasy and stodgy like some; All the cod is line caught in highly regulated Norwegian waters and frozen rapidly at sea.
Among the menu - Cod and Chips (£5.50). Grilled Sea Bass and Chips (£7.95). They also do Pea Fritters and Bubble Cake.
*British fish and chip shops are rarely open on a Monday*
