Has anyone been to the new fish n chip place at old Crispy Squid? Since bad reviews are not permitted what about marks out of 10? Anyone??

We have tried them - nobody will be as good as the original Crispy Squid but for now I reserve judgment. However, I will still be making the drive across to Alsancak and Lockmans when I can't go South to Dhekalia. Proper fish and chips are hard to find but not impossible - unlike pork pies - lol.

They weren't ready when I went. No pies, sausages, saveloys. I just had cod and chips takeaway, which came with a teaspoonful of mushy peas. Not a good experience.
Seems like they need some business help, made no sense to me as to why they opened if they weren't ready.

A lot of places are the same , customers not guaranteed anymore

Many meals are dear now, guess it just depends on whether or not you want to pay the price.wanderer wrote: ↑Sun 06 Oct 2024 1:41 pmFish and Chips takeaway are dear now 3 medium haddock large bag of chips £30 all but 50p in the Black Country not london

No use comparing to UK makes no odds to me since I've not been for 3 years.

TRNC/UK - Had fish & chips in August in TRNC = 1010tl for two fish & chips, poor quality and quantity. Had fish & chips in UK in August = £22.50 for two fish & chips, more than we could eat, fresh Whitby cod, perfect chips + scraps, hot and wonderful! Do your own price comparison but for me, having had my first UK fish & chips in 17 years, there was a clear winner!

Actually you asked for marks out of 10 for one establishment and later asked for the price! So what exactly do you want? For example - I am looking for quality fish & chips at a reasonable price in the TRNC? I may consider other venues in the RoC also. I would appreciate honest opinions along with prices and area of location. All venues considered, many thanks for replies!
OR you could ask Google and of course post your own findings to assist other searchers! Type in “Fish and chips in North Cyprus” and see what you get. My favorite in the North is Lokmans and well worth a try! For the RoC you would be hard pressed to beat Lambros at Dhekelia!
Good luck

Yep was curious about the new place, not too many reviews so may support our local bar and check out the old mill at some point.

There is no substitute for getting out there and trying it for yourself!
There's a whole World of experiences out there, waiting to be sampled.
You can't do everything online and expect others to do all the legwork for you - and THEN start moaning that they didn't do exactly what you specified...
Also people have differing tastes, and what suits them may not suit you.
Bon appetit!

Well pre-internet you'd only get reviews in the local rag, so I'm confused as to which generation you're talking about...forestpixie wrote: ↑Tue 08 Oct 2024 10:02 amI always like to get reviews, it's probably a generational thingKeithcaley wrote: ↑Tue 08 Oct 2024 9:54 amThere is no substitute for getting out there and trying it for yourself!
