Oh not fair!! Showing us fish n chips when I have no where close to me. Arghhh...but you did make me laugh. After telling us that we don't need to see you eat. 🤭 Love your videos!!!!
Ben... I love your channel and follow you on all your travels. this question is totally off-topic for this video. ... but here goes... Im on the NCL Pride of America and found the customer service a bit more laid back than other ships..also something we like was an ice bucket in our room. Have you noticed if other ships have ice available....seems like a small thing but we like ice for our water and other drinks in the room... Sorry, I know it sounds like a little issue but it's important to us. We are older and spend a lot of time in our room and on the balcony. Thanks ahead of time.... Please continue to have a great time traveling.
@@brendalogan6281 thanks so much, Brenda! I appreciate your support very much 😁 thank you for being a channel member! I haven’t been on the NCL Pride of America but I’ve heard it’s different to other NCL ships, the crew is mostly Americans, right? I’ve never had a problem asking for an ice bucket from the room steward, usually they will bring a new one every day as they know you want it. Enjoy your cruise!
We were in London 2 yrs. ago before a UK cruise. My BIL is not a fish eater and I told him that when it is very fresh fish it tastes better. We went to the Shakespeare pub by the Victoria Bus Terminal. We ordered the fish & chips & it was some of the best I have eaten. Even he, ate it all and said if we could get fresh fish like this at home in Canada, it might change his mind.
Ben thanks for the video. I’ll be in the UK next month at the end of a transatlantic cruise (that’s how I found you). I’m definitely wanting to try Fish & Chips so this was helpful. In another video you mentioned The Hung Drawn & Quartered. Have you been there before. Also looking for an authentic pub.
@@kevinlindsey9799 definitely read reviews and do research to find authentic fish and chips, Kevin! Authentic pubs should have old signs and specialise in beer, not wine 😁 enjoy your cruise and enjoy the UK!
Just a few days after seeing your rant about “we don’t need to see you eat”, we get to see your rating on proper Fish & Chips! 😂 I love good Fish & Chips, but have not had any in years. I think they are way too commercial and quick heated these days. I can’t remember when I haven’t been disappointed - especially when ordering them in the US. But I liked your take - you will have to try Poppies again (just don’t go too late next time) and show us the “best” ones near your home (just don’t disclose the location!). Can’t wait to see your future vlogs - but for now I am off for some Fish & Chips (cod, of course!).

But, the take away looked like it was wrapped in newspaper. Glad to see the growth of your channel, and looking forward to your Asia adventure! Take care!
@@good.sheeple thank you, Jeanne! I haven’t seen your comments for a while 😁 Poppie’s definitely felt like a chain but it turned out to be pretty standard! Nothing special but I liked it. Thank you for your support, Asia coming soon 😇
Great vid Ben! Totally agree Fish & Chips should be served wrapped in paper-not in a box! Just love it when the vinegar seeps through the paper! And great to see your success is growing. Tom 😃
@@TravelWithBen121 Can't wait to see the next video Ben. My wife and I live in Tampa Florida, and had to drive north yesterday because of the hurricane.
I think I went to Golden Union in Soho when I was last in London. I enjoyed it. However, I’m no expert as I’m from NYC. Congratulations on your subscriber milestone!
Another great video Ben! I love battered, fried fish although we tend to serve them with fries on this side of the ocean, cod is a pretty common fish here too. My last trip to London I managed to find a nice pub and had what I thought was a pretty good fish & chips along with a tasty pint. I really prefer the chips to the american style fries. Mine came with something I think were mushy peas? Wasn't so much a fan of those.
@@GDJason thank you, Jason! Pubs are a great place to get fish and chips! Many non British people think mushy peas are very strange 😂 they’re okay, I’d eat them but I wouldn’t order them!
Greetings from South Florida. OK Ben, now you made us jealous. LOL I just got home from work as we are preparing to get some of the effects of hurricane Milton here in the Fort Lauderdale area and now I want fish and chips. I learned how to eat that with malt vinegar as well. Is that not part of the original tradition?? London is definitely in our bucket list. I wonder where I can get some good fish and chips here in the Fort Lauderdale area. Buen provecho!! ❤
@@Faith_and_Hope_07 you’re right! They always ask in the fish and chip shop if you want salt and vinegar, the answer is always yes! I’m sure there’s British pubs in your area 😁 however, I don’t know how authentic it will be! I saw the news, stay safe over there and take care!
Was in London early September. Went to Hobsons near Charing Cross station. Excellent chip. Excellent fish. And yes I had a 10min or so wait. But was worth it. Try that one
Great video and Fishcoteque won just based on the name alone! I’m visiting London in 2025 - I’d love to see a video of where a tourist should eat in Central London on a budget and not too far from all the touristy places. Gregg’s? Pret? Dishoom if I can get a reservation?
@@sgalligan I agree with you, Sue! Fishcotheque wins just for their name 😂 good idea, I’ve been asked about Gregg’s a few times! So I’ll plan a video about budget places 😁 thank you for watching!
Good morning, Ben ! The fish looks really good, meaty and juicy ! Not cheap at $ 17.20 ! I bet you can not buy one like that in USA. You are a handsome bag salesman ! Good day !
@@david1234lee cheers, David! Definitely not cheap, London is very expensive! These are London prices, outside of London it’s cheaper and more authentic 😁
I totally agree. Your fried foods have to be hot and fresh and still sizzling from the oil! I'll wait! This American loves fish and chips, especially at a brewery. There's a local place that does their fish (a lake fish, we're far from the ocean in the Midwest) in a tempura batter and it's so light and crispy. Not authentic, but delicious.
@@lisaanderson8235 I agree, Lisa! I’ll wait for a fresh one, no problem! It can still definitely be delicious but not authentic! Breweries are usually hit and miss when it comes to fish and chips! Make sure they’re chips and not fries 😂
Okay, I always thought that the tartar sauce was for the fish all my life. I was in London in the 80s I stayed at the Tower Thistle Hotel. I was told to cross the bridge and go to the left and I got fantastic fish and chips from a tiny takeaway shop. Unfortunately I don’t remember the name. I just remember one day they ran out of cod and yelled,”No Cod today only Rock” and I took it. But I still have no idea what rock is.
Rock used to be known as Rock Salmon, however it certainly isn't related to salmon and indeed the salmon industry managed to force the name to be shortened to Rock. Actually it isn't a fish, but a type of shark! As a Londoner, 'rock salmon and chips' was the fish and chips of choice and even now is rarely found outside of London. It remains my fish of choice when wanting fish and chips in London. It has a single gelatinous bone. The true accompaniment to f&c is malt vinegar and salt, plus a fair portion of proper mushy peas! The substitution of lemon and tartare sauce is a way to upmarket and upsell the humble fish and chips.
@@Rocking_the_Mimi_life I prefer the tartar sauce on the chips, Cheryl! But ketchup is better 😁 usually the best places are the smallest not so fancy ones! Fish and chips has to be cod only! I love salmon but cod goes better with chips 🍟
Sussex Fish Bar on London St. near Paddington...I come here every year when I'm in London. Great fish n chips and I also had one of the best hamburgers I've ever eaten there. It's a small unpretentious place but it's really good food. Of course everyones taste is different but this place is the best I've had. I come from a fishing port so I definitely know good fish when I see it.🤤
I’m late commenting on this video, I did watch it a couple days ago during the hurricane but so much has been going on but the good thing is we’re pretty safe here in Orlando and the Magic kingdom is OK 🏰 😂 But it’s interesting that the fish and chips keep their skin on. I would’ve never known that if I didn’t watch your video I just always assumed it was kind of like Captain D’s here in America. I’m sure there’s a lot of British people right now that are horrified that I just said that. But good heads up. And I agree with you the chips definitely have to be soft on the middle and crunchy on the outside. That’s how I like my french fries too. I think you should try to compare the curry shops next time. It still blows my mind that people consider that the national dish. But now that I know that when I see different vlogs or TV shows, they do eat a lot of curry takeaways. Which I don’t blame on my love all Currys, I like Thai curry, Japanese curry, and Indian curry. ❤ 🍛
@@JustShelby888 I was wondering how you were doing down there in FL, I hope everything is okay, Shelby! The skin is the best part of a battered fish 🤩 definitely leave the skin on. I actually don’t like curry! So I won’t be doing a curry review 😂 sorry!
@@TravelWithBen121 Fair enough, to each his own, but a chip butty with crispy chips doesn't appeal. Also the crisp doesn't last through vinegar that well.
Although I live in the south of the UK, I’m from the north where haddock is the norm and usually they don’t leave the skin on. I always cringe when I see the black skin lol. Must admit (of course I’m biased), northern f&c are far superior to London and the south!
@@jonathanpage7710 Poppie’s actually had haddock but no cod! I was tempted to try it but I prefer cod and chips together 😁 the skin is the best part! It adds an extra crunch. I’m guessing you like curry sauce or gravy on your chips being from the north 😂 both are a big no for me!
@@TravelWithBen121 lol actually I've never had gravy on chips. Not that usual really but it is offered of course. Curry sauce is ok. Usually I just have salt n vinegar. Simples!
Oh dear. Not a good review. The only crisp chips you will get from a traditional fish and chip shop are the tiny overcooked pieces/scraps/shrapnel that some people like. Chips should be judged by taste/quality of potatoes/quality of cooking oil. Tartar sauce is usually added to the fish, not the chips. Presentation - who cares about presentation? You eat your fish and chips with your eyes first and then with your mouth. It does not matter a jot if they come in greaseproof paper with extra paper sheets around, or if they come in a box. What does matter is that the fish batter should not be covered by the chips as they will tend to soften the batter. If you want good, albeit expensive, fish and chips then go to the highly rated emporiums in Ladbrooke Grove or Muswell Hill, and I am sure there are many other good chip shops around as well. Some of the best I ever had came from a shop in Brabazon St in the east, London they were cheap and fantastic.
