No. At least I don't think so. It was a chippy on the main road a bit past the butchers in the direction of Laxey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I once saw a drunk stagger out of there, lose his balance and fall into the fairly narrow gap between the adjacent telephone box and the building alongside it. Completely stuck! Hilarious. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ecobob 1,175 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I can’t believe no one has mentioned the chippy that used to be in port st Mary up the side street. There used to be queues out the door and down the street. Can’t remember It’s name but it was the best fish and chip shop on the island. Probably in the world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The wait in the queue that went down the street on a Friday and Saturday night was definitely worth it. They knew their way around a russet 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agree totally -we were probably in those queues. We lived in Ramsey but if the time was right and we were anywhere south of Laxey that is where we headed . Puzzling though... just 2 ingredients- plus a frying medium of some sort - such a wide variation in the end product? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
