FRIED FISH
Full of nutrition, fresh from the sea,
Rich in sweet flavour, good as can be
In quality always our custom relies,
Excellence always will win the first prize!
Depend on experience, here at your wish
Fresh as the morning we serve our FRIED FISH
In rich golden hues our potatoes are dressed
So are our haddock, skate, plaice, all the best!
Here is the place to appease every wish with
BEAUTIFUL POTATOES AND SPLENDID FRIED FISH!
This is a poem often quoted by my mother, Mabel Lee (nee Lee) when I was a child. I believe she saw it on the wall of her local chip shop in Halifax when she was young, This would be in the 1930s or 40s
