    I went to a Mother Hubbard's for the first time when I visited Shrewsbury last year, fantastic fish and chips and some of the best batter I've ever tasted.

    It might be the first time you have had yorkshire fish and chips done in beef dripping darren. A completely different and superior meal to london fish and chips like poppies etc. The batter finishes and taste are common in yorkshire. Finally london can sample them with the excellent mother hubbards chain. You should venture up north and the two best are 1) Blakeleys in brighouse 2) Magpie cafe whitby.

    The original was (and is) in Bradford. I didn't think they would be charging Northern prices in that there London. Most chippies in Bradford use beef tallow to fry but I think these guys use veg oil.

    Thanks for sharing! I prefer my fish n’ chips deep fried in beef dripping and the fish to be coated in beer batter. The last time I went to a Mother Hubbards, my fish and chips (like yours) looked amazing. Unfortunately they were fried in vegetable oil and tasted ok ish. On the-other hand, Murgatroyds (Yeadon - Leeds) do AMAZING fish n’ chips! If you ever find yourself up in West Yorkshire I highly recommend that you give them a visit.

I've never has such a wet piece of fish in fact we (the SO) seriously doubted it was Haddock! But that looked proper.
