Kendal is quite a small town and there are a handful of chippies
in the centre. The Chip Fiends were going to pop into Frydays and eat our chips
overlooking the River Kent. However it was closed 'due to unforeseen
circumstances' on this day so we walked into town and found Fish Xpress.
This is a smart-looking chip shop / restaurant with a takeaway
counter and tables indoors and out.
It was a busy Friday evening and there was a good flow of
customers. We ordered fish and chips open, and a shared pot of mushy
peas.
As we sat and waited for the order to be fried we had a look at
the 'specials' on offer. Chips, cheese and gravy appears to be a popular
delicacy in Kendal. Unsurprisingly Fish Xpress (and some of the other chip
shops) serve Cumberland sausage - a long sausage cooked and served in a coil.
The meal was ready in a few short minutes and boxed. We sat
outside to eat.
The fish had a good crispy batter and the chips were a dark
golden colour and nicely crisp on the outside too.
The peas were a satisfying accompaniment to the meal but a tad
on the stiff paste-textured side.
The bin outside the shop was filled to the brim so we took our
empty takeaway cartons back inside for the shop to dispose.
