Norman selby Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) 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.

Peckhampam Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 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. 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/350566-bad-fish/#findComment-1678530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_hermit Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I've found Joseph's to be great on the 3 or 4 times I've been. Did you take it up with them first before potentially ruining an independent local business and its employees? 1 2 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/350566-bad-fish/#findComment-1678531 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 2 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/350566-bad-fish/#findComment-1678532 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 (edited) Longer users of the forum! Did "crushed and devalued" spring to anybody's mind when they read the OP, or was it just me?

Pugwash Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 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.

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.

malumbu Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 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. https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Bad_Wolf_(entity) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/350566-bad-fish/#findComment-1678716 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
