The Denmark Street Fish and Chip Shop, Bedford

We recommend this chippy very highly. If you find yourself hungry in Bedford, go here for your fish 'n' chips.

One of the Chip Fiends called on a Saturday lunch time. The owner was waxing lyrical about how great the haddock was. He said the fish was from a supplier in Dunstable but its provenance was Grimsby. Of course! He said it was such good quality he was going to have one himself. 

I must add to this that it was also fried to perfection. A thin, crispy batter encasing pure white tender flakes.

The chips were the potato equivalent of the fish. The outside was a very thin crisp of potato and the inside fluffy and light as a cloud.

The curry was good because it was mixed thick and clung to the chips. It was also served in a pot which made it better for dipping. However a better style such as Irish or Chinese would have been preferable.

I had walked to the nearby Russell Park to eat and all the boxed food was still piping hot when I tucked in.

Lovely.
