Best Posts in Thread: Fish and Chips

Coming from the UK Fish and Chips is sold all over there, the southern part that place they call England they favour Cod, but in the better northern part, Scotland we go for Haddock, there is one fish I found here that is not unlike Haddock, Mull Mull or Parrot fish as it is sometimes known as, when you get this really fresh here I cannot tell the difference, getting it near fresh or perhaps properly iced over when caught is the difficult part, we had one the other day which was super fresh and this made me think of home and about as good as it gets here, however I have been told and this is only hearsay; as this is a reef fish it tends to have some degree of mercury in it and was given a warning not to eat it, in my advanced years I do not really care and I am a bit of a Mad Hatter anyway.

 

As far as I'm aware in UK, Carp is usually fished for sport and returned to the water after being weighed. I guess like Pike some people might try it, to see what it tastes like.

 

When i was a lad i worked in the Scottish fishing industry repairing trawlers, once the ship had landed its catch at the fish market we would go aboard to work and the deck was always strewn with many types of fish that had fallen out of the baskets and were just left there.
We were allowed to take as much as we wanted as they were just left to rot or the seagulls got them, if anybody took cod you could be sure it was only for their cat and the cats would not even eat mackerel, haddock was the one everybody wanted.

 

I found this: Scottish Haggis at P800 per kg (plus delivery)

This is from https://thewelshdeli.com which is based in Makati.

I used them many years ago and food and delivery was fine.

They have a HUGE range of food, including Cornish Pasty (for anyone who might be interested!), 22 types of sausage, over 20 Pies, wide range of Meats, Haslet, Gala Pie, Black Pudding, Welsh Faggots, Scottish White Pudding (???), Shepherd's Pie.... etc.
