New Chippy called "Frydays" due to open 15th of this month, takeaways, eat in, and deliveries, underneath San Marino (was Overseas Chinese). Good friend of mine Debbie will be working there and looking after you. Hope some of you will give it a try. Always thought that Los Cris lacked a good proper chippy.

I have no connection with it, but nice to see new ventures, in these not so good times.

yep gone the old boss wanted to make millions in the 1st six months!! brought in a new manager wanted everything cooked from frozen and in the microwave!!! not for me i like t cook fresh and i hate microwave cooking so parted company he shut roughly 3 weeks after i left!! shame really if we had stuck t how we started it it would have become a thriving business. but you can always pop to los cristianos there will be a restaurant as well as takeaway and not a panga in sight that i promise you!!!

Yes Greg I think their will.

Greg
16-07-2011, 14:41
That's it then, I'll be their best customer. The first thing I do when I go to the UK is have a donner with chilli and mint sauce. All the ones on the island are all made from beef not lamb and it's just not the same. Can't wait! :)

Do they have really thick, chunky, flaky cod type fish? I recently had fish and chips in a (will remain nameless) restaurant in LC and the PR guy assured me it was the nearest thing to cod in the canaries. I was very disappointed at the tasteless, thin sloppy fish which was served up!

glostergirl
16-07-2011, 20:09
sal i promise you on my childrens lives it is cod!!! think you may have had panga at the unnamed restaurant. a lot of the english bars and restaurants here pass it off as cod!!!

I'll definitely give it a try next time we are over!
The PR guy intimated that cod was not available in the canaries and give them their due, the restaurant was offering "Fish & Chips" not trying to pass it off as cod.

hi everyone, yes we have had a few teething problems mainly with the size of our chips!! the response to a new chippy opening has been overwhelming!! all points customers have made regarding this problem are being rectified, hopefully by tomorrow as we have now obtained a bigger blade for the chipper!! to the poster who had the kebab i am sorry you were disappointed with it and you didnt get your chilli sauce!! i know our customers are thoroughly enjoying our fish,pies,scampi and we are already getting customers coming back for the second time!! the staff are starting to gel with each other some are training and are doing well. thanks to those of you who have been patient whilst you have been waiting for your orders. julie x

If you went into a restaurant and ordered fish and the waitress returned 30 seconds later with it you would wonder if the quality was up to it. I certainly would and I should know, I spent 10 years supplying fish and chip shops and have now bought my own. Obviously we cook fish to order to maintain the quality. If you can't wait 4 minutes for a fish then it's a bit of a poor show. We have an ultra modern high efficiency range and never have a queue (i.e. someone still in the shop waiting) for more than 20 minutes even on a Friday night.

I would rather walk into a chip shop and wait for fresh chips than get ones that have sat for a while. I also agree with your comment that fish needs to be cooked to order. If people want fast food go to to Mc D's or Burger king.

not real big fat ones just normal size ones now as our other chips were to small.


PS can I have some ´crisp´with my chips? :jumping:

Sorry but you seem to be the only one,as yet, that has a good opinion of it, 3 freinds of mine have been and they said, they had no haddock, but cod was just ok, chips very greasy, batter greasy, why do these people think they can learn ' on the job ' think i will give it a miss...tar.


Only one post, and that's to slate a new business off.... If this is a taste of your future contributions, maybe I should just say goodbye now! :rolleyes:

Walk up to the roundabout,,turn left, cross the road walk towards the bus station, past tenerife sur, 50 yds turn right, large furniture shop, next door to that, 5 or 6 mins from viccy court.
