Kingfisher Fish & Chips

As said, best chippy in the Northern Quarter. and imo, one of the best around, period.
Perfect fry. Clean. Simple. Good people.

Kingfisher Fish & Chips: Come for the service, stay for the food.
I single-​handedly blame this place for my clogged arteries in later life.
Easily knocking Leo’s Fish Bar off the top spot for chippies in the Northern Quarter, Kingfisher has it all wrapped up and drenched in vinegar. Never has batter been so crispy or fish so soft and white. Prices are more than reasonable with chips at a decent £1.10, fish double this at £2.20 and yes, you guessed it, fish AND chips for a gleaming £3.30.
So yes, the food is great and the prices reasonable, but the service is spectacular. From the moment you walk in its like you’re at the Ritz. There’s no shouts of ‘NEXT!’ or ‘Yes love,’ here. It’s all ‘How can I help you miss? Right away miss, would you please like ketchup miss?’ Yes I would. And thanks for asking so nicely. Your food will arrive moments after you ordered in, carefully wrapped and soaked in just as much (or little) sauce as you require. Look out for the meal deals if you fancy spicing things up a bit.

Agreed. Fish & Chips as it should be. Big portions of cod or haddock in a proper paper wrap with a pile of fat dark colored chips. Mmmmm. Even better than its closest Manchester rival, The Battered Cod in Fallowfield.
Gravy is amazing too, proper northern tasty salty gravy.
And an unexpected plus point, you don’t feel too grim afterwards.

The definition of proper FISH AND CHIPS. Independent, old skwl, indie all those kind of patriotic qualities are embodied in this simple institution. You head in, they have the heaters, the fryers, the bags of chips and the assortment of plastic 80s style tables and seating.
You order fish and chips, chips and gravy, chips and curry sauce or my favourite chips and mushy peas. You given a lumped bag of greasy potato and you enjoy. Simples… sounds like that car insurance advert… urghh.
