| Comment | I moved to Glasgow about 5 years ago and found the chippies to be utter shite here. Unless you're willing to go to an upmarket sit-in (which in my view never tastes like a real chippy) or some gentrified west end joint then you're pretty limited when looking for a decent fish supper.
I was brought up in Ayrshire, don't miss much about the various shiteholes, but after visiting Ayr, Irvine and Kilmarnock over the last year and getting a chippy in each, the much, MUCH higher quality of everything from the chips to the sausage to the fish was so apparent.
My hack theory is high population density in the city and high footfall means chippies here can get away with being expensive, low quality shite. Which they definitely do get away with.
​
tl:dr get down to Ayr for a day out and try any chippy there. |
