mac16 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I'm new to this so please bear with me, but I had to comment on how down hill the 'Seacow' has gone of late. We had take away from there last night and it was awful Why??? I'm sure your all going to write back and say I should be using some local chippie run by some ED locals, but I've enjoyed the food in there since it's opened and have fallen for the feeling that I'm not eaten some greasy, deep fried heart attack food- even though I know I am. It's looking like I need a new chippie I hear 'Olly's' is good? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/837-seacow/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellenden Belle Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Where's Olleys?I ask because, sadly, I do know exactly what you mean Mac16... although perhaps it's a good thing in the end to halt my ever-expanding waistline!

SeanMacGabhann Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Shame about the Seacow Mac - I'm not a big fish man but it always looked tlike the place that might convert me Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/837-seacow/#findComment-20438 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_the_chin Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 i've been to both seacow recently and it seemed okay. although, having said that, the mushy peas last time were more runny than mushy. no reason not to go though.

Ladygooner Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Seconded on the mushy peas - more a case of pea puree! Other than that I have always had nice fish and chips in and takeaway from Seacow Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/837-seacow/#findComment-20442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratty Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I have found it to be hit and miss, but more hit to be honest. Had a dodgy one a month or two ago and a fabulous one last week!

peckham_perkster Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hmm I only ever got take out from there once, it was dire so I never went back. I'm very fussy about my chips and have found the best fish n chips at Camberwell. The Flying Fish is on Camberwell Church Street and it's fantastic, they buy their fish fresh from Billington market and cook it to order. The guys that run are really lovely and they have a restaurant out the back where you can BYOB. The one on Uplands Road is good as well.

Bleep Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I love the fish in the Sea Cow but the chips are bloody horrible. I heard they import them half-cooked from Holland or something?

*Bob* Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Yeah.. that's my issue with TSC (as I'm sure it will be re-named soon ha ha). The fish has always been good (apart from once) but the chips aint great.

Brendan Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hmmm? Is all this fish you lot are scoffing coming from sustainable stocks? Perhaps our local traders should set up some kind of karma offsetting scheme where, say two mugs of fair-trade coffee allows you to have one portion of line caught swordfish? ;-)WARNING! Do not take me seriously.Anyway I?m more of a warm chicken salad in pita man myself.

Mmmm, chicken doner wraps from Kebab and Wine are rather good, particularly after an EDF gathering... I clearly bring such class to this forum!

Domitianus Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I think the fish at TSC is generally very good (must admit I usually just plump for the cod). I had one very ropey piece of cod there a few weeks back and actually complained about it - couldn't even finish it. They were fine about it and didn't charge me and seemed concerned. In terms of sustainable fishing - they used to have a card there showing the various types of fish served and indicating the sustainable manner in which it was sourced.Added benefit - the waitresses are generally pretty tasty.

The fact she got half as much as she would have seemed like a fair outcome to me.

SeanMacGabhann Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 One of the good things about Seacow is how they have removed certain fish from their menu because of sea-stocks which should be applaudedAs I've said I'm not a fish-man but I do remember getting a carton of chips in there and loving them..

Ant Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I really don't see what the place on Upland Road has to recommend it to anyone. Every time I've been there it's been bog-standard greasefest all the way. Can it really be that I'm just unlucky each time I visit?

Andyng Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Yes I agree fish was tasteless.I highly recommend the one oppositeforest hill station 10 out of 10 . Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/837-seacow/#findComment-20523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
