There was a time when one could get on their bike and ride with their mates, hit the local fish and chip shop, eat your feed of shark, potato scallops and chips from the torn off end of rolled up newspaper then walk the line between Clyde and Carlingford.

I reckon I kept the Telopea fish and chip shop in business with the amount of scollops I bought as a kid.
And, 5 scollops for 20 cents was expensive back then for a kid!!

I used to get mine from Johnnys Milk Bar at Carlingford Station.

IIRC there was an awsome cake shop at Telopea shops. Great pies.

Yep, Johnny's was great too but Telopea shops were closer to my place and an easy walk or bike ride from my home just off Kirby st.
And yes, the pies were sensational at the bakery at Telopea.

I'm lucky that my local pie shop atm bakes similarly great pies. The best I've tasted since those ones I had as a kid at Telopea.
Good times.

I used to love the greek fish and chip shops. Fat fish in Annadale is great.
Is it racist to say most the asian run ones just dont compare?
If so then I am a racist. They do shit fish and chips

Sure dont, those where the days my friend.
I remember the hand cut potatoes as Id tear the top of the paper bag. Times when know one knew eating greasy scallops and chips was bad for their kids.
Great time to be alive.

'I had a meal last night. I ordered everything in French, surprised everybody. It was a Chinese restaurant. I said to this Chinese waiter, 'Look, this chicken I got here is cold. 'He said, 'It should be, it's been dead two weeks.'

I said, 'Not only that. 'I said, I said... I said it twice, I said, 'He's got one leg shorter than the other. 'He said, 'What do you wanna do with it, eat it or dance with it?'

I said, 'Forget the chicken, give me a lobster, and he brought me this lobster. I said just a minute, he's only got one claw. 'He said 'Well he's been in a fight.

'I said, 'Well give me the winner.'

Brothers fish and chips in Seven Hills Shopping Centre are consistently the best F&C shop in the Blacktown area that I know of.

Yeah but do they sell deep fried mars bars like the Bondi Beach F&C Shop ?
