Fish and chips in Brighton leaves a lot to be desired, especially for a seaside town. You're better off getting a nice Smokie from the Smoke House rather than traditional fish supper.
Best proper fish suppers I've had were in York and in Weymouth. Both about half the price and about 4 times the quality and you get a lot for your money. Plus they don't charge for slapping a bit of sauce on your chips like they do round here.
Brighton:
"Would you like any sauces with our chips"?
"Yes please, ketchup"
Chippy reluctantly hands over a sachet of ketchup roughly the size of a newly hatched hummingbird..
"70p please".
Most other places:
"All the sauces are over there mate, 'elp yerself".

the best i've ever had was in a small non-descript town called Amble on the Northumberland coast. The town itself is a bit of a hovel but its near to Alnmouth (stunning place), Alnwick and Ashington (where they have a superb mining museum) so if you're ever in the area I'd recommend popping into Amble. Head to the harbour and there are two chippies...instead of the one actually in the harbour, turn right and there is a better, smaller one 100 yards or so down the road. Buy them and head to the quiet beach in front of you to eat them. My mum grew up in this town and my Nana lived there until her death so I have great memories of their fish and chips....they cost **** all and are far superior to anything down here.

I have to agree the North East does Fish and Chips and some. I work above The Waterfront North Shields Fish Quay its won loads of awards and the portions are huge! Fish and Chips back in Sussex have always been sadly disappointing. The food in the village pubs is where Sussex's strength lies IMO some absolute crackers around where my family live in Danehill and Horsted Keynes

Got to be Gordon's on Sunderland Street.
Same here. I really can't stand deep fried batter and yet i love Yorkshire puds. I much prefer breaded food

how do you feel about that one in Tynemouth that everyone loves? I went a few times when I was at Newcastle Uni and liked it....still prefer the one up in Amble though
you're right, the North East does generally do chippies really well.....even Newcastle which isn't on the coast is superior to Brighton in my view. I'm generally very fond of the North East so perhaps I'm biased

It is near the 25 bus stop by the Brighton Trades and Labour club there is also a PO and kebab shop near there. Coming from HH I get off the bus at Baker St walk up over the Level to Lewes Rd and turn left to get the 25 for football and it is 50 yds up on the left.
