Those birdseye battered cods are pretty good. Quite expensive here though.

Again DIY, I like the Tesco battered cod (4 pieces) €5.99 with Freezeland crinkle chips from either Tesco or Paps. As far as I'm concerned mushy peas are definately OFF the menu. I prefer garden peas (Findus from Paps)

We got some frozen mushy peas from Alpha Mega. Cream of the Crop, packaged in our old home town of Rochdale. They are really good and much better than the ones from the chippy. Had them with some Lidl frozen cod, (lightly floured and fried) and homemade chips, made from Mandria potatoes.

I can highly recommend the chips from The Railway - takes me back a few years!

The cod in Lidl is fabulous..but haven’t been able to get any for ages

Home made chips double fried, wife slowly blanches them, then into hot oil crispy and fluffy, frozen or oven chips don't compare, we are lucky because we have a fish chip resturant called Lambros, over our end of the island, in the Eastern SBA bases, best fish and chips on the island, people come for miles for his food.

Well, That's one can see on my photo above - cod from Lidl!! also just plain, important that it is not overcooked (max.50c) controlled by the food thermometer I got also from Lidl. As I am a hoarder, there is still plenty in my freezer Concerning the sauce/mayo: consists mainly of eggs...

You're right, not been able to get for ages...could it be a seasonal thingy?

Hope not, I’ve usually got it all year round, maybe problems with transportation due to virus, I usually dip in flour, egg then in Panko breadcrumbs...absolutely gorgeous
