They have this unique coating on them. <br /><br />“The only reason I came to Dr Vinegar is because my son has the shop next door. They’ve been trading for a few weeks. It was word of mouth for me. <br /><br />“We arrived at about 11am, then about half 11 we stepped out a bit. Then the masses came. I was first one who came. <br /><br />“A good 50 or 60 people came straight away, then they just kept coming. It was constant. I was quite pleased I was at the front. I’ll be a regular now. <br /><br />“I thought they were excellent. For the price they were charging, they were superb. The chips were good, nice thick pieces of cod. It was all fresh. <br /><br />"The standard was excellent. I wouldn’t expect anything else. <br /><br />“It’s usually £2.20 for a cone. I think a fish and chip meal these days is usually around £6 or £7.”<br /><br />Another punter Matt Nichol, 29, of Willenhall, West Mids., added: "I wasn't going to miss out on what's surely the cheapest fish and chips in the country.<br /><br />"They were really lovely too, I queued for about an hour but it was well worth it. I'll be coming back."<br /><br />Owner Royston Spencer ordered hundreds of mini-fishes for the one day only mega deal to cope with demand. <br /><br />The new takeaway soffers all the usual chip shop classics like fish and chips, kebabs, sausages and Pukka pies.<br /><br />But its main draw is its famous West Midlands 'orange chips' which are chips coated in an orange batter, with a 'secret extra ingredient' to give its 'signature glow.'
