I prefer Haddock too.. if it's cooked well.


To answer the question, The Sea Cow consistently cooks the fish the best, but the chips are those 'posh chips' which I consider to be 'not proper'. The best chips can be bought at 'The Walstead Fryer', but the 260 mile round trip might put you off, and it's possible your fish (from The Sea Cow) may be cold by the time you get back.

Thanks Bob, but I'm sure someone here posted about a place where you could get great fish AND chips IN East Dulwich.

I have not read the thread fully, but with all due respK , your C&P isnt correct - Im not a predant, but I know my fish a bit


Haddock are not young cod, yes, that are part of the Gadd ( not Paul Gadd ) clan but distinct from cods in both appearence & form the consumer, in flesh texture



Dont eat Cods

Indeed, and I apologise for the oversight. As mentioned I looked it up, and was parlously misinformed on the Haddock subject.


It seems Haddock are of the Melanogrammus genus, but as Snorks observes, they are with Gadidae.


I shall explore this conflicting information further.


Moire to the point....


I just watched Soylent Green! What a frickin' coincidence. Turner Classic Movies, today of all days!

Glad you made the right chioce Pilsbury, the sea cow is brilliant. The Coley is cheaper (if I remember correctly) and nicer than the cod. And Yes, we should all eat no more cod, especially when there are such tasty other fishes about...

welcome to the area, enjoy the fish & Chips!

Sema's on Underhill Road are the best! Went there last night and had some really fresh fish. One portion of their scrummy chips is enough for two. Friendly people too. Have never been to the Sea Cow as I couldn't justify it when Sema's is so good and at a snip of the price. Could the thread starter go to Sema's and write a comparison?

Yes, Ken's is the best - before Ken's, we always went to Sema who do lovely fish and chips and are very obliging. Ken's is just that bit better, simply the best. I don't know why I'm saying this, as there will be a long queue next time I go!! Don't bother with the over-priced places. The quality and content don't justify the price. They need to up their game!

      That is the similar issue with Peckham Rye - the council have prioritised commercial interests over the community (residents and environment), and utterly shameless in doing so. For a council to be wilfully cirumventing legal ruling, is more than alarming. Their actions should always be transparent and beyond reproach, not shady and biased for particular commercial interest. It raises the question of where else they manipulate commercial interests and generally look to break rules.

      I can't see it will ever be finally resolved, unfortunately. Although the local problems were made much worse due to the move of the Sylvester Road  delivery office to Peckham, Royal Mail has had issues ever since it was privatised. Whenever the local MP gets involved, things get a bit better temporarily, then they just deteriorate again. I hope I'm wrong, but there are similar postal delivery issues all over the country. I think there are currently discussions ongoing to change the delivery requirements which Royal Mail is supposed to adhere to for first and second class post. Silly question, but are you actually expecting letters? I haven't had any post for ages either, but I'm not expecting any! Much stuff these days is done by email or on apps. The East Dulwich delivery office is in Peckham, not West Dulwich?

      Mediation with property solicitor

      By Dulwichlass · Posted

      Hi, over the last few years, I have had a problems with my joint freeholder. For the last 15 years there has been roof leaks and we had some repairs done around 2016 but I got another leak a few years ago. Instead of investing money in a new roof or RICS survey, the joint freeholder is trying to force me to pay for non-essential work in hallway (tiling, new door and repainting) which will come to approximately £3K via Section 20 of the Landlord and Tenants Act 1985. We keep going around in circles and I want to suggest a mediator again (ideally with a property solicitor). Key reason I am wanting to work with a lawyer is my joint freeholder is also solicitor, so needs to be someone who has expertise of leases. I have proposed a managing agent for maintenance for the building or a declaration of trust but they wont agree, so we are unable to move forward. We are just two flats in one house and trust has completely broken down. I think they are trying to make life so difficult that I sell, so they can do an extension. I love my flat and I am not in a situation where I can move. Can anyone suggest a mediator that can help us find some common ground? Any advice welcome and DM if you prefer.
