Surely everyone loves fish and chips? No? Well maybe not everyone, but with a name like the…read morebattered cod, and in a prime location to pick up on passing trade as people amble through Sale town centre, the Battered Cod must surely do well... The smell as you pass a chippy is enough to draw in all but those with the ultimate power of will, and this is completely the case with the Battered Cod. It opens early in the morning and serves fried breakfasts, coffees and tea-cakes to those shopping in town, and at some point in the day, the fryers come on and more traditional 'chippy fayre' is on offer. I commend the quality of this whole-heartedly; a portion of fish, chips, mushy-peas and gravy from here is as good as anywhere in the Manchester area, and whilst no more 'fresh from the sea' than anywhere else this far from the coast, the food is high quality, high-value, filling, and refreshingly british. Just don't have it for every meal!

Shockingly, I'd been a Sale resident for nearly eight months and had yet to have a local 'chippy…read moretea', so one lazy Saturday wandered into town and decided to try The Battered Cod for my typical order of fish, chips and curry sauce (kept separately, never poured over the chips until ready for eating). Yes, I have chippy-rules. Though admittedly it doesn't have a cool interior like Fish Bait in West Didsbury (http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/fish-bait-fish-bar-manchester), they resemble the ever-so-British chippy of slightly worn counter tops and plastic chairs. There's plenty of seating in there if you wanted to eat in. My order came to £6, which seemed reasonable given the size of the fish and the portion of chips. And the verdict was, well, A-OK - the fish's batter was light and crispy, the fish itself was tender (if fish can be 'tender'...) and the chips were really good, especially the ones smothered in curry sauce. Om nom nom.
