There has been a lot of talk of replacing cod with haddock in fish and chip shops for a long time but still now it is rare you will find a chip shop which doesn't mainly serve cod.
For me it is always either haggis and chips or chips, cheese and gravy.

Never could get away with chips, cheese and gravy. Battered Haggis is awesome, though.

It's not really fish and chips, but for anyone up near Stockport, I do not recommend 'Wok's Cooking' in Bramhall. Acting mainly as a Chinese takeaway, it seems competatively priced for its Chinese dishes (although probably a little overpriced in some cases) but for other dishes such as chips and cheeseburgers, it charges upwards of £1.30 for a fairly average portion of sub-par chips, and £1.80 for a rather tasteless burger that wouldn't be out of place coming from McDonalds, with the caveat that McDonalds actually acknowledges the taste (or lack thereof) in its cheap price.
Again, not chip shop, but I DO recommend the takeaway Flamez in Stockport. Its donner meat is lovely, and a tray of donner meat and chips (cut as fries) only sets you back £3.50 for a generous portion of chips and donner. The fries can be a bit touch and go quality-wise, but they're generally fairly good.
Their pizzas are also very well priced, with a 12" pepperoni setting you back only £6.50, which is cheaper than most of the local chains and even some independents, and the quality of it isn't reduced, either.
They also do burgers (Beef, Cheese, Chicken, Lamb, Veggie, and Fish), £2.50 for a quarter-pounder, and £3.50 for a half-pounder. It might seem a bit much at first, but they don't skimp on the beef, or on the tomato and lettuce, and the burgers themselves are packed with flavour.
As far as independent takeaways go, Flamez is one that I'd recommend to just about anybody.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

It would be pretty funny to find out a popular Quebec dish was inspired by English cuisine.

The only difference is we use cheese curds instead of cheese.

No, it's just there is a stereotype that Quebeckers aren't fond of English speakers.

In Quebec and some parts of other Canadian provinces (like Winnipeg and New Brunswick) but yeah were a bilingual country, mind you my experience with people in Quebec is that if you make some effort to speak french they'll be polite about it and switch to English if they see you're
struggling I mean anytime I tried speaking French to them they just switched to English so they don't have to hear me butcher there much prettier language.

Up here in the north of Scotland we have a ready source of fish.
When we order fish n' chips its generally Cod or Haddock. However some offer other alternatives like Plaice.
Also Chips and Cheese is an institution, however in Scotland if something isn't stuffed with cheese or at the least incredibly bad for you we don't eat it.

Sun? -SUN-?!. I live in the mountains. Either fog or the great rocks themselves choke out any sunlight. And when it's not snowing it's raining.
I have no qualms with adapting to rainy English weather in fact it wouldn't even be an adaptation.

If you wanna live in the UK choose the countryside of kent as we have many fish and chip shops that are very tasty...also it snows a bit and when you stand on the hilly area near the south coast of kent and it is sunny the view is outstanding...and nice people (like me) live there..also visit bluewater shopping center (there is a games workshop there)

Don't listen to him Shadowbrand, F+C down south is a pale imitation of its northern relative. The best place in the country to get a nice piece of battered cod with chips is Whitby, plus it's the most goth town in the UK. Must be the Dracula thing...

I have. I did.
Its very hard to find a decent chippy. Most of them serve scorched bags of fat instead of chips and sad little bits of over cooked fish in overly crisp batter. This seems to be the case all over the country unfortunately, the chippy that I went to in Whitby certainly wasn't good. By and large the best ones that I have been to were in small fishing villages.
