 I don't know if you have had fish & chips from the new fish shop in lordship lane. East dulwich. Called Joseph's. Well my and my wife went there the other day we had rock & chips. The chips was lovely but the fish was well over cooked and very greesy. I just could not eat the fish the batter was realy hard and the fish just taste like rope and dry. My wife's fish was just the same   but the batter on her one was harder . This was the first time I've been there and it will be  the last time.sorry this shop is not worth The prices they charge for their produce. I paid £ 29.90 for this load of crap.

I am amazed.  Josephs is not new, it has been there about 3 years?  I have had fish and chips from there a few times and rate their fish as some of the best I have ever had from a fish and chip shop.  Chips are great as well,  The portions are enormous and great value.

You joined the forum two hours ago specifically to post this?

I haven't been there, but I have only previously read good things about Joseph's on here.

I'm also wondering if you took up your complaint with the shop. 

If so, what did they say?

If not, why not? Especially given that you had paid nearly thirty pounds, it would seem the obvious thing to do, to ask for a replacement or your money back?

So... what happened when you expressed your disgruntlement directly to the establishment?

As everyone has stated, Josephs might be expensive but in terms of sizing and quality, never had a bad meal from them. In fact they are so generous with their food that we order 2 fish and one portion of chips as servings are very large. Ordered food from them last week and got usual good quality stuff.

Rock’ is only dog fish. Most anglers throw them back

And dog fish is actually a small shark species. Very different taste and texture to the cod family.

If you'd been expecting cod then the rock would have been disappointing. But it is what it is.

Is it just me or is the title of this thread weird?    Not a good sign when the subject heading is not clear.  Is this  a decline in our use of the English language?  A thread in it's own right.

Reminds me of the Badwolf line running through the Dr Who's of Ecclestone  and Tenant.  Perhaps Rose in the parallel universe can understand what badfish is and save our world.

Not a good sign when it's is used instead of its, malumbu.

Its! It's its! Not it's 🤣

Definite sign of decline there

😛

Sorry admin, as you were. I notice the OP has not posted again in response to any of the comments 

Very fishy.

    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
    • I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.  
    • I see what you mean.  Perhaps the "alcohol licensing flyer for Tesco Express on the Poundland site" confirmed by the OP has been removed then.
