Shockingly, I'd been a Sale resident for nearly eight months and had yet to have a local 'chippy tea', 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.
