Because I have tried both !!!!  .. Just my opinion.. The batter is better .. lovely and crispy..   Each to their own.. I guess..

Ah, don't like batter - always breaded for me.

We have a fantastic chippie in the village and do use it. Don't always have a fish supper but everything they do tastes great.
I usually have a pack of 4 fillets either crumbed or with batter in the freezer as I do the fish in the oven along with minted wee potatoes and corn/peas.

Have recently started to have fish fingers occasionally for tea.  Had forgotten how nice they are.

Heading into the village shop, need milk and Rolls, Duffas here forgot to put her purse in the car when she took Dageus out. 

Best fish and chips I ever tasted were in Arbroath.  Breadcrumbed haddock.  Its always battered here, and it varies.  The long time best local chippie owner retired recently, and the new owners haven't matched his quality.

I don't think I've ever seen a chippy sell breadcrumbed fish. 

Me neither.  Can't imagine they'd deep fry it in the main fryers.

They'd fry (anything fries) but a lot of breadcrumbs falling off into the oil would probably be a pain.

That was my thinking.

I agree Scrumpy, you can't beat fresh from the chippy     I mean you can get fish and frozen chips from the supermarket, but here the fish is really fresh and the chips are peeled on the premises, no frozen stuff.
I felt quite cheered up when I got in and realised I didn't have to cook anything, really enjoyed them too

I missed a clock out..
