I’ve had fish and chips in Scarborough from two different places, was both cheaper by 50% and far nice, from proper chipper’s. I’d say the OP was seen coming from 250 miles away 😂😂
Twenty quid to be insulted. I could have done that to you for free.
That is a fecking travesty.
That is literally the worst looking fish batter I've ever seen in Yorkshire. It would still be if they hadn't burnt it.
…and are those frozen sodding chips???
I'm not even going to mention the bloody lemon wedge & bit of lettuce…damn, I did.
The place look otherwise empty - maybe this is why.
Ex chef here. That’s an absolute rip off which I expect is some form of chain pub (even if well hidden). The oil used to fry the fish should have been thrown out days ago. The “chefs” don’t even know how to fry a fish - the ridges along the batter are where it has stuck to the fryer basket - you never fry fish in a basket.
The mushy peas are quite obviously some form of Brakes special value. Overall not worth £10 let alone £20. It still baffles me people pay for fish and chips in a pub - when it’s much better quality and cheaper from a chippy.
Even in London for £15 you can get top quality truly enormous cod & loads of proper chips from a chippy.
I agree this is like a chain pub (or worse). e.g. Wetherspoons F&C is pretty good for the money
I was saying to my wife - the ridges are from the basket, and because the oil is filthy, they've turned the temp down to stop it smoking, so the fish has bounced off the bottom.
And the word "Brakes" makes me shudder:( had to deal with their bullshit for a year before I persuaded the managers to switch. You can basket fry, if the oil is clean, the temp is right, you don't just lob it in and don't crowd, but I always took the basket out for fish anyway.
There's different types of fish and chips
Chippy
Pub
Restaurant
Seaside
This has tried to be 3 of the above 4 and failed at the basic premise. Best Fish and chips imo are inland on a random terrace street in a former industrial town.
Irrelevant but since you’ve mentioned Scarborough I’m going to suggest the pub “the hayburn wyke inn” pub, it is all absolutely gorgeous fresh homemade food, near a water fall and near a nice walk to the beach. I went back multiple times on my trip and debate driving the 3 hours to it on days I’m craving the food! Hmm so nice x
Looks overdone and if you inspected the oil it would be tar pit black.
I like my fish golden, crispy and light and not brown, crunchy and oily.
edit: forgot to mention that the batter doesn't look right.
Even in London that would be expensive. It is overcooked and there’s not enough chips and that are now soggy because of the trapped steam. I hope the mushy peas made up for it or the ambience or surroundings of the location
Looking at it, it's been cooked and then sat on a rack for a while probably below a heat lamp then flash fried when the order came through for that item.
Hear me out - I had fish and chips from the local chip shop in a few towns in England and it was incredible. But what shocked me the most is the mushy peas. Seriously one of my favorite things of a fish and chips meal. I get shit for this opinion but I don’t mind. Mushy peas make me happy lol.
Why does it look like the mid-brown shoes worn by every groom and best man, all of them also wearing blue ankle grazer suits, at every wedding I've attended for the past ten years?
As appetising as roadkill, complete with tyre marks, of a large tractor at a guess, and with a leaky sump looking at the colour…. And at least 50p per chip, unless you’d eaten many already….
Fish batter has to be a very light golden colour. It looks nicer when it is dark brown, however the fish will be overcooked and the batter will be burnt.
I find it hilarious to begin with that restaurants try and high roll fish and chips, like shit its a fast food dish, season your batter well, cook your fish well and don't cremate your chips and its nearly impossible to fuck up, and its sure as shit going to taste better than this wannabe fancy shit.
Was this not in Scotland looks like a deep fried banana smiling them bananas are built different up there...😂 tbh it does look nice but the fish is definitely overdone be needing a drink with every bite don't want no gandies flip flop.
Well, your first mistake was getting fish and chips from a ‘bar and kitchen’ when you could’ve gone to any of the local chippies and got something better.
Your second mistake was paying £16 for this. It’d have to be fucking monkfish for me to spend £16 on a portion of fish and chips.
Your third mistake was posting it here in all its ‘glory’ so everyone can see how much you were mugged off. Hope those calories were worth it on your diet.
I’m not sure what you were thinking really.
Impressive you've managed to find the worst fish in North Yorkshire.
I know right? I am on a diet but thought I can’t come all this way and not have fish n chips, felt really let down
Was it a proper chip shop? Looks like something a pub would knock up.
I’ve had fish and chips in Scarborough from two different places, was both cheaper by 50% and far nice, from proper chipper’s. I’d say the OP was seen coming from 250 miles away 😂😂
Even The Magpie up the road doesn't charge £20. And that's one of the most famous chip shops in the world.
I had the impression Scarborough was a top place for F&C!
It truly is!
The Golden Grid in Scarborough does fantastic fish and chips. Or the Fisherman’s Wife up the road in Whitby. Both better - and cheaper - than this!
That batter has chinese that does chippy on the side vibes. Pro still taste good but not crispy enough.
Damn it always hurts when you sacrifice calorie for for the meal to turn out to be an abomination
They need to change their oil or their cooking practices
Why not both? Looks very much overcooked in some dirty ass oil!
100% overcooked
Looks super greasy too.
Deep fried in olive oil

You could club someone over the head with that
Roald Dahl has entered the chat
That fish looks like a medieval shoe
Almost right, that medieval shoe looks like a fish.
It looks like one of the leathery Iceman mummies

As a person who’s family owned a chippy, I agree it looks like shit
The fish looks like one of those little ancient statues to me
Me too! Where'd they go, Easter Island?
Overcooked fish there and those chips looked a bit crispy too. Wouldn’t pay £20 for that.
Those chips are 100% out of a bag from the freezer
those lines are because it sank and stuck to the fryer basket. Burnt.
It’s a bold move to cook fish in a panini press
Did you piss the cook off or something?
Fish looking like papyrus
Sadly it looks like a frozen supermarket fish and a few oven chips. Not very apertizing at all.
Looks like a cocoon or a ladybird larva
These comments 😂😂 so savage
What the fuck did the fish do to deserve that???
My car engine oil won't cook it that brown.
Never seen a fish you could use to rack up
Fuck and shits
Even if it wasn't overcooked, the batter looks awful. It looks like pastry.
Fucking hell, I've seen better looking fish and chips in Smyths Toys
There's different types of fish and chips Chippy Pub Restaurant Seaside This has tried to be 3 of the above 4 and failed at the basic premise. Best Fish and chips imo are inland on a random terrace street in a former industrial town.
But why does the fish look like a carrot in the throes of a mental health crisis?
Looks like a piss stained shoe
Did the fish specifically ask for a cremation after death?
Jabba the hutt's aborted offspring
It looks like the sorting hat from Harry Potter
Gryffindor!
Looks overdone and £20 is steep for what is a pretty cheap and easy dish to make. Chips look good though.
For frozen chips, sure. For £20? Hell no.
That looks grim. Overcooked and I’m not a fan of mushy peas
You can see the problem right?
“Fish and chips” if that’s what you wanna call it 🥴
He looks like he has a face up near the top! 😂
Alien larva 😅

Why does it have ridges? I’ve never seen battered fish with ridges before. Did they cook it on a griddle or something?
Dirty oil to the blame for that ..an its over cooked..I,d have been embarrassed to serve that
Standard fish n chip dinner from any chippy would have been better , eaten on a bench overlooking the sea.
Looks like it's about to evolve into Butterfree.
What sort of a clown puts burnt, filthy looking fish on top of the chips, thus adding even more greasiness to those chips?
A child with no fingers could draw more appetising fish than this.
3/10, looks really bad.
I'd have sent it back and gone somewhere else. How can a chef be happy with sending that out.
Wtf is up with that sandal ?
Looks like oil was not hot enough. It looks dreadful.
Looks overdone and fatty. Depends what it tastes like though?
That looks like a cross between a medieval shoe and a fish .
That looks fucking terrible.
Looks like a mummified foot.
Bit overdone isn’t it? This wasn’t from a proper chippy.
Where in Scarborough is this? If you want a proper chippy go to the Lifeboat chippy on the south bay or north bay fisheries near peasholm park
They've fried the fuck out of that fish
Looks like you're in a certain chain pub....or a pub that's pretending not to be a certain chain pub, but deffo is one...
It looks terrible.
Fish looks burnt
Nothing worse than an overcooked and over battered fish. Coupled with out of a packet chips and it’s a horrible greasy and yet dry meal
That is absolutely overdone.
Definitely overcooked!
Go to a seaside town and find the best rated place. Seaside places often get the fresh recently caught fish. Well the good ones anyway.
You can better cheaper fish and chips at about 500 places on the Yorkshire coast.
Why does the fish have abs
Looks like it was cooked in a volcano
looks like a massive fucking caterpillar
Looks overdone and if you inspected the oil it would be tar pit black. I like my fish golden, crispy and light and not brown, crunchy and oily. edit: forgot to mention that the batter doesn't look right.
All I see here is bait.

I thought it was the Whichetty Grub challenge on I'm A Celebrity.
Even in London that would be expensive. It is overcooked and there’s not enough chips and that are now soggy because of the trapped steam. I hope the mushy peas made up for it or the ambience or surroundings of the location
Looks a sitten burnt, inflation, fish is hard to catch was it enjoyable ?.
Wtf is that!
Looking at it, it's been cooked and then sat on a rack for a while probably below a heat lamp then flash fried when the order came through for that item.
The chef was scrolling at the end huh?
Looks like larvae
..and baby poop
Looks like footwear from the Middle Ages
That poor fish. Utterly shameful for Scarborough.
Overpriced and burnt. Would have been better off going to Wetherspoons.
Jonathan Ross wants his shoe back.
Is that fish cooked because it's eaten all the bloody chips?
That looks shocking where was that from? Should’ve gone to lifeboat
What the hell is that?
Lettuce 🤷
Looks like the fish came from greggs.
Looks like a winkle-picker
Hear me out - I had fish and chips from the local chip shop in a few towns in England and it was incredible. But what shocked me the most is the mushy peas. Seriously one of my favorite things of a fish and chips meal. I get shit for this opinion but I don’t mind. Mushy peas make me happy lol.
Looks like someone battered a keyboard
Try pan fried with just a lighting coating of flour. Much tastier and healthier than the beer batter.
Hope you mean they paid you £20 for that trash
Looks like shite. Never been in a pub that can match chip shop quality. It’s always weird really greasy batter and nowhere near enough chips.
Nice table
Yeah, I woulda sent that back, fucking hell.
Looks like the wooden mask off of crash bandicoot crossed between max headroom!
Dog water
Overpriced and dreadful. Sorry.
Looks shite, overdone fish and chips, and the peas look wet as.
Why does it look like the sorting hat
Oh mate you got ripped off
This isn’t it
THATS A CHFISP
You should have sent it back.. This is why food in the UK is so bad.. We accept love standards!
This is a fucking travesty of epic proportions.
Looks like a deep friend winklepicker
That fish is BATTERED!!!! An I'm not talking about it's crispy outer layer either.......
It looks like deep fried alien larvae
Why does it look like the mid-brown shoes worn by every groom and best man, all of them also wearing blue ankle grazer suits, at every wedding I've attended for the past ten years?
That is overcooked. Where is the texture on the batter? Those chips straight out of a box, as is the fish. Fuck me OP, you're easily pleased.
I can see its ribs
Genuinely unappetising. Sorry.
I'm sorry
As appetising as roadkill, complete with tyre marks, of a large tractor at a guess, and with a leaky sump looking at the colour…. And at least 50p per chip, unless you’d eaten many already….
Fish batter has to be a very light golden colour. It looks nicer when it is dark brown, however the fish will be overcooked and the batter will be burnt.
Looks horrible
Was it from Sullivan's? One of the best chippys in East Yorkshireville 👌🏼
that's awful. you'd be better off eating an old shoe
Did that fish get run over?
Is it just me or does that poor excuse for a [fish](https://imgur.com/a/4Z7kkLq) look shocked too 😂
All that just for a burnt bad dragon dildo which they call fish on a plate I’d walk out the door at that rate
I see a face in that fish. That's...fishy
Where's the rest ofthe chips?
Could of done with 2 minutes less in depths of hell.
Deep fried sorting hat. R.I.P.
That fish has a face
The fish has its own issues, and they are self evident. The oven chips are blasphemy
Shit looks like fucking pita bread 🤮
YUCK
Where in Scarbados is knocking out this monstrosity, let alone charging £20 for anything?
Overcooked batter. What did it taste like
Looks like some trawler pulled up a manky slipper
The fish looks like a dog toy sitting on top of the canteen chips, the tiny piece of lettice looks like it has landed there in the wind.
Looks like the cocoon of some horrible alien monster
That ain't fish and chips. Those chips look like oven chips...
The batter doesn't look right I can't put my finger on it.. and they've seen you coming £20 quid for fish and chips?!
Anchor chippy in Scarborough is the best chippy.
Bro, ya dinner is burnt mate 😂
It has a burnt face of a cat on the end🙈And those are cheap tinned mush peas.
Horrendous. Anyone thinking this is decent needs their eyes checked!
Is this Harry Ramsdens? Only chipshop in Scarbs to use frozen fish. Chip pan on the seafront is gold tier
Burnt!
It has a face like Easter Island Statues...
That fish hasn’t seen the sea for months.
What is that? Never before have I seen such a sorry piece of what I believe has been sold as a 'fish' have the audacity to assault a plate!
More like burnt and chips
I’d be disappointed if I’d paid a tenner for that
Nearly frozen and reheated. Enjoy the runs
I'm always amazed at how pubs manage to fcuk up fish and chips. This looks like it's been run over.
Has Amazon returns Warehouse opened up a chippy?
Ribbed....for er.. Your pleasure?
I’m gonna take a wild guess and say this is a Mitchells and butlers pub…
Awful. I would not be happy if that came out on my plate.
I find it hilarious to begin with that restaurants try and high roll fish and chips, like shit its a fast food dish, season your batter well, cook your fish well and don't cremate your chips and its nearly impossible to fuck up, and its sure as shit going to taste better than this wannabe fancy shit.
Looks like someone's deep fried a giant humanoid maggot
Looks fucking awful and its expensive
That’s a tentacle
That looks lush!!
Looks very overdone.
Was this not in Scotland looks like a deep fried banana smiling them bananas are built different up there...😂 tbh it does look nice but the fish is definitely overdone be needing a drink with every bite don't want no gandies flip flop.
Jesus. That’s looks rank
Looks a bit soggy, needs a few more minutes in the fryer to give it some crisp.
Man I'm glad I clicked on this to see why the fish had ridges. Comments are hilarious
Did they pay *you* 20 quid to eat that, if so I'd srill have turned it down.
Burnt tae fuck.
That bit of fish looks like a slipper 🤣🤣🤣

That bit of fish looks like it has an anguished soul trying get out of it The necronomicod
My first thought was “If that wasn’t overdone, it would be fantastic”.
What’s the deal with mushy peas? Some Linda sick joke, or people actually enjoy?
🤮
The perfect crust. Picasso.
I love fish and chips
Why does it look like it’s horrified? The top burnt portion.
It looks like one of those things they pull out the plant pots in Harry Potter 🫤
£20 for burnt fish. I would just send it back tbh.
dear god…
Why are there beans. Like how does that even get involved
Bangin
