Fish and chip shops rarely fillet their fish themselves, they buy it pre-filleted. And you can't really blame them as working in one is already icky enough with all the oil (seriously, digging out the remnants at the end of the day from the friers is vile).
Which meant is was potentially big enough to not be properly cooked in the middle. Also what sort of culinary maniac deep fries and battters a trout anyway? That's totally the wrong type of fish for it. Also also if the fish was whole did anyone even bother to gut the thing first, or did Max eat deep fried piscine digestive tract?
@@MrDannyDetail You can see the slit at the underside when it lies on the plate. Pretty sure they did it right after catching it. Frying a trout in batter isn't that weird though. Here in southern Germany it's often fried in a flour covering. That makes the skin really really crispy. I know it's not batter, but it's not too far off.
We didn't see the whole thing I am pretty sure it was somehow staged and Max instructed them on how to cook it, to make it look a bit ridiculous. Also, they were way too unimpressed and asked no questions which makes me think he talked to them before the scene we saw.
I mean even if you don’t know shit about fishing that should be common sense, no?! Why didn’t anyone else on the boat say something? I don’t know how any man can possibly suck so bad at fishing.
The River Thames is one of the cleanest rivers flowing through a city in the world. It is so murky because of the mud and sleet at the bottom that gets dragged up by the current. It used to be one of the most polluted in the world, however, now it's so clean its home to dolphins, seals and even a newly discovered species of shark.
Max, where you went fishing with Jed isn’t the Thames. I live 5 minutes from where you went and it’s the River Teise, Kent. It flows into the Medway, then out to sea at Sheerness. They stock the river with fish making it easier/more enjoyable for the fishermen. I’m actually doing a dissertation on the changing geomorphology of the river
@@connorchalmers8959 yes, I was waiting for someone to point this out lol. Rainbow trout are only indigenous in one river in the U.K., which is like somewhere in Yorkshire.
@@lewis809 Considering it's a *rainbow trout* it's not indigenous anywhere in the UK as the rainbow trout is an american species that has been introduced into various european rivers in the 19th century because it can tolerate much more pollution, murkyness and lower oxygen levels than the european river trout.
The Thames isn’t actually that polluted. The reason it looks really dirty is because it’s a mud bank river with a strong undercurrent. That’s not to say it’s entirely clean. Plastics, fuel and random rubbish etc do have a negative impact on the river. With various fish, dolphins, seals, birds and other wildlife now seen (and returning) in and around the river is a strong sign that it is in fact a pretty clean river. Sorry Max. I do love your work though.
Exactly David Walliams in 2012 completed the 140mile swim and drank quiet a lot of it. I don’t think he felt well but didn’t slip in to a coma. Love the work Max keep up the great content.
@@A88A88 oh yeah! Forgot about that. I ran/crawled the length of the Thames a few years back. From the source in the Cotswolds to the Thames Barrier. It’s only when it gets to Hammersmith it starts to get a tad questionable. Lol
idk if this is a brand new thing but i think the viewers can see a simplified version of the viewer attention graph when hovering over the scrub bar, and all of your videos are pinned at the top through out the whole length. its hard to see why someone would want to skip any of this. true ideal content. 10/10
if there are crustaceans that's a pretty clean river. I think he never heard of Ganga in India. They literally deliver all their wastewater in that river
The fact he said he's gonna catch chips, if I find out he's catching a fish called a chip fish or something I'll rate Max more than I already do sadly didn't happen but god he spends a lot of money for these ridiculous idea's, you gotta love him
For the price of the speedboat you could almost rent a helicopter . Fishing while hovering over the themse certainly has a certain flair. (Helicopters are like 8 bucks a minute)
future tip, the first small eylet (thing where line goes through) is not meant for the line to go through. It is for holding flies/lures while not fishing.
I don't know where to start with this video, claiming the Thames is the dirtiest river in the world or the fact that the trout wasn't prepared and filleted or the fact that he had mayo with his fish and chips bonkers
On the contrary, the Thames is pretty clean especially once you're up river. It just suffers from plastic pollution in the city and sewage surges in bad weather until the new sewer is built. Either way, self-caught fish and chips is an achievement!
Signs of wildlife still living in the river doesn't seem all that polluted to me. A nearby polluted river from me (in a big city) doesn't even have living wildlife on it anymore lmao.
@@supernoodles908 Nobody's saying it's spring water ffs. What it is though, is the cleanest city river the world. What that says for the rest, I don't know, but if you have marine life living in it, and the Thames has LOTS of species of fish, then it's 'clean' in relative terms.
In the US we call a chip a French Fry. Interestingly, one would also call a baby fish (minnow) caught off the coast of Normandy a French Fry as well. And even more interestingly- when we have fish and chips where I live, we call the whole meal a "fish fry". And now I think I know why.
did anyone go to the fish and chips restaurant and said to mollie "In the name of Max Fosh, Dish out the fish"? i feel like that would be too easy but worth a try
Coincidentally, they announced five days ago that they'll be closing for the next two weeks. The restaurant is called Mick's fish bar if you want message them online. I think that'd work
Rainbow trout is my favorite. When we go to Minnesota for the summer, we always go fishing and have a fish fry with our neighbors. Pick out the bones and clean it up, and my personal favorite way is to beer batter it up and fry!
That's what I thought too. Frying it whole risked it being not cooked in the middle, and not gutting it (and therefore Max eating deep fried piscine digestive tract) was also potentially a health risk. I really thought Max from the edit was going to tell us he'd been ill for a week afterwards.
Thought so too. Ngl, wouldn’t expect an English fish and chips worker to know how to gut a fish when everything they probably do is deep fry pre prepared filets.
There are many times when I am watching these videos that I think it is James Veitch. Especially the last chat to the camera at the end, looks and sounds so similar!
I remember when I was about 7 or 8 my family and I decided to go swimming in the Thames just outside London. When I got out, I came to realise that my foot was all cut up by glass and had to get a bunch of stitches. Needless to say, I don't think I'll be swimming in that river any time soon.
@@Aeronaut1975 considering it’s the only major river in London essentially, the rest are basically tributaries, I think that’s a given lol.
