INGREDIENTS
Tofu-Fish’ Fillets
1 firm or extra-firm tofu block (I used Cauldron tofu)
Fine sea salt
1 Tbsp nori sprinkles (or 1 nori-sheet, blended or finely chopped)
8 toothpicks
0.5-1 litre (17-34 fl oz) Sunflower/vegetable oil for shallow frying (or similar)
1 lemon, cut into wedges (for garnish & tartare sauce)
Batter
60g (half cup) plain flour
60g (half cup) cornflour (or more plain flour instead)
1/2 tsp (3g) salt
1 tsp (3g) cracked black pepper
2 tsp (10g) baking powder
125-175ml (125ml=half a cup) ice cold water
Chips
3 medium maris piper potatoes, washed (600-650g)
Oil to coat (sunflower/vegetable or similar)
Salt to taste
To Garnish
Lemon wedges
Tomato ketchup
Malt vinegar
Equipment needed
Kitchen paper or tea towel - to dry the tofu
Frying pan or large saucepan - for shallow frying
METHOD
First things first . . .
-For the chips, preheat oven to 220c (425F): for fan-assisted, 200c (390F), gas mark 7.
-For the batter, either put some ice cubes into 200ml of cold water or put around 300ml of cold water into the freezer for around 20 minutes.
Preparing the Tofu-Fish Fillets
-Chop the tofu block widthways into thin slices (around 3mm thick) and lay the slices out onto a tea towel or kitchen paper. Fold the tea towel over the tofu (or put more kitchen paper on top) to encase the tofu slices and press lightly to remove water.
-Lightly sprinkle sea salt over the tofu slices, followed by the nori sprinkles; the more you use, the ‘fishier’ the fillets will taste.
-Stack the tofu slices up to make 2 even piles. Slice each pile lengthways straight down to give you 4 fillets. Skewer each fillet at both ends with a toothpick to hold them together. Set aside
Chunky Oven Chips
--Slice the potatoes into 1cm thick slices, then slice into 1cm thick chips.
-(Optional) Add chips to a saucepan of boiling water on high heat, cover, get back to a rolling boil and then let cook for 90 seconds. Drain all the water away, cover the pan and shake vigorously to break up the outer layer of the chips, releasing the starch, giving them a fluffy and ‘gnarly’ outer layer.
-Place onto a baking tray (lined, if desired), cover generously with oil, toss to coat and spread the chips out so they are touching as little as possible.
-Cook in the oven for around 15 to 20 minutes or until you can see signs of caramelisation. Flip or jostle the chips around and then cook for another 10 to 15 minutes or until they have yellowed and caramelised in places.
-Toss with some salt and any other seasoning to taste.
Batter the ‘Tofu-Fish’ Fillets
-While the chips are cooking, put all of the dry batter ingredients into a medium-sized bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
-Into a frying pan or large saucepan over high-heat, pour vegetable oil (or similar) so that it is around 1 cm (half inch) deep. Allow to heat for 2-3 minutes. It will ripple gently once hot.
-Meanwhile, add around 125ml (half cup) of the ice cold water to the batter mix and stir until you have a double-cream consistency. Add more water if necessary.
-Drop a blob of batter into the oil. It should bubble immediately and turn a light golden brown within 60 seconds once it’s hot enough.
-Dip the fillets in the batter and cover, allow any excess to run off, then gently lay them away from you into the hot oil. Shallow fry for 2-3 minutes. The oil should be gently bubbling around the fillets but not violently. Adjust the heat throughout cooking if necessary.
-Flip the fillets over and allow to fry for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown all over. Remove from the pan and allow to drain on some kitchen paper or tea towels.
-The battered fillets can be kept warm in the oven with the chips for up to 10 minutes.
-Serve with a wedge of lemon.
NOTES
-The fillets may need to shallow fry an additional minute or so on each side to ensure they’re golden brown all over.
-Whilst shallow-frying, you can slowly spoon more batter around the edge of the fillet to bulk up the crispy batter coating. Highly recommended.
-Very small lumps in the batter doesn’t matter.
-Using baking powder in the batter makes it expand once in the oil. Cornflour makes it crispier and ice cold water makes the batter react strongly with the hot oil which gives a lighter and crisper batter.
-Used cooking oil should not be poured down the drain. Instead, check to see whether your local recycling centre can take it.

I worked hard on these videos and, as a relatively small creator, I was very proud of my (mostly good) like/dislike ratios.
Hard work and a good ratio will encourage others to watch videos which I think is great for new or small channels.
I hope you are all well. I'm doing great. Thank you for the fun times.
Any new videos in the making? Please?
@@TheEasyVegan Dude you should really start making videos again. Ur a legend!!!
@@glamp3212 he's a vegan. so probably hasn't got the energy :-)
But, I do agree, he is good at making videos. Just a shame he is a vegan.

Omg, the toothpicks didn't kill me, but this did lol
Well,most Asian Seafood always have the fish eaten WHOLE.
@@explosivemodesonicmauricet1597 as an Asian...
Can confirm
That had me LAUGHING HARD 😂❤️😭😭😭
Lol "I'm not religious so I'm going to keep the skin on." I love this guy. Keep up the great work
@LaGrange Is Alive
I’m religious and skin my potatoes. Does that mean my life is a lie? Have I been going against my belief my entire life? Has my entire purpose for living been eradicated in the span of a 2 second joke?

**extensional crisis averted**
yeah.... hehehe love it
Laughed so hard, Thank you very much!
rétro they got the joke.. they were just explaining it for the people who didn’t..That’s not a woosh lmao
Just tried this recipe today and damm, that's some good tofish
My little sister who doesn't like fish hated it, which means it tastes very realistic :D
very good measurement! x'D
I loooove the SPEED of this, the interwoven jokes and general tone. You don't waste my time. Sub'd.
This is my exact sentiment, and also why I subbed.
this is exactly why i like him
Me tooo😂
Well put, agree!
Ska börja göra som han 😁
Ok ok ok people. I’m here to testify for this man. He’s a freaking genius. I just made this recipe for dinner, not going to lie, I had pretty low expectations as one does as a vegan, but this BLEW ME AWAY. wow. It was amazing! So good I immediately made all my non vegan roommates try a bite and they were also amazed. Well done sir.
Side note. This is the second recipe I’ve made of yours. The first was the millionaire shortbread which also blew my mind, so really I should have known this was going to be brilliant.
did you use nori sprinkle or sheet?? I wanna try this asap :)
Way to go, Jessica! Non vegans also respond to seitan sausage very well.
Thank you so much Jessica for the feedback. I'm glad it went well and everyone enjoyed. You've given me a big smile 😁😁😁
@@DJ-su2wj I used a nori sheet and cut it up really small!
@@TheEasyVegan yay! keep it coming
"That was my toxic masculinity leaking out"
I love this guy
What a surprise
Chozeh Abaddon hahaha that’s great. No one needs that toxic masculinity
@Chozeh Abaddon Good. If everyone else's toxic masculinity leaked out, that would be great.
I call him the sassy masculinity🤣
@Chozeh Abaddon You tried to insult him and it backfired 🤣
The government doesn't want you to know this, but...
Chuck a little bit of vinegar on the chips before baking and they go EXTRA crispy.
Thanks for sharing the info even though you're at risk :D
Any type of vinegar?
@@VeganO_MexicanO Apple cider vinegar goes alright. White vinegar gets the job done.
They're on to me. Going dark.
Why would you digest a coagulate?

OMG... I only got it now.. AND I'M JEWISH! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The "rolling boyle" gets me every time.
I would marry this man in an instant! Honestly can't decide if I like the recipes more or the humour.
Jules, please pitch your ideas to the food networks. You are so talented, funny and engaging, and you deserve your own show. We vegans can certainly use a vegan food program. Please consider it. 😘xx
Here here!! I TOTALLY 2nd that awesome idea!!
If you wrap slices of aubergine with seaweed, in dipped in batter and then fried in oil, it will taste like an Fried oyster.
Very interesting.
Also, if you fry an oyster, it will taste like... a fried oyster. Just saying, like...
"And... There's my foot"
OMG I'm laughing so hard i'm sorry
If anyone wants any further info about any fin to do with the meal kit, please do let minnow!
I wish you guys offered kits in the USA! I'd love to give them a try!
Will you be able to ship these meal kits to the rest of europe anytime soon??
@@Annie-hw8wz Theresa May won't allow that.
Y'all better start this up in Australia!
Awesome job in making the packaging compost able and recyclable! Too bad I live in canada :(
Your channel is one of the reasons I finally turned vegan after many years of just thinking about it
Keep it going, you are awesome!
"Even if that kills you, it'll be a very good simulation of a well-battered fish"😂
" deep frying scares me more than my receeding hairline"
I LOVE HIM x)))
Jules this is a very creative recipe , I am so happy with it !
Well thank you in return for the lovely comment. I am so happy with it 😊
@@TheEasyVegan you are welcome !
Holy Mackerel...! I spit coffee all over my screen after seeing the rolling Boyle! It doesn’t get better than that. You need to be on tv/movies/my patio.
✔️🤪👍
Couldn't stop laughing at Susan's head rolling in the pot.
Keeshia Lacy right?
I need a shirt that says 'Mixy mixy mix' Merch please!!
This has to be the funniest vegan recipe video I've ever seen! Great job! Now I am excited to make some flaky vegan fish and chips. ;)
watch his bacon video!!! XD
He's my kind of vegan chef 😂😅 I made this recipe and it's brilliant. Really good.
@The Easy Vegan You need your own comedy show. I always laugh when seeing a video of yours. Thank you.
r/woooosh
Fanta woosh what?
I seriously love the Screen to Plate concept - the ad aspect of the video becomes less of an ad and more of a normal video with bonus prepared food. Like, it's still YOUR food, YOUR recipe, and that matters. That's what we're here for, you know? The recipes you develop.
Idk. I just really love it, and I'm so bummed I'm not in the UK and can't directly support it.
(The not-fish looks great. But, like, duh, what else is new - all your recipes look great, I end up accidentally vegan more and more frequently because of them. I appreciate it!!)
Thank you so much for this comment. Truly appreciated 🙂
I love the way you explain the whole tutorial with a rly clear voice and some sense of humour. Keep up the good work! 👍
I came to your Channel just to see the recipe. I'm staying to binge watch because you're hysterical.
"so-fish-ticated" :DDD
@Dio A I'm German :'D
OMFG THE GILLETTE PART KILLED MEEEEE HAHAHAHAHAHA
I'm stupid and I didn't get that joke, someone please explain 😂
@@Toffnm basically Gillette did a TOXIC MASCULINITY IS BAD ad and it was overrated. It got a LOT of hate
Do you have to use ALL CAPS?? I find micro aggressions such as this intimidating.
@@0rbit80y 😂 dead! wElL tHaTs yOuR fAuLt!?
Me too!😃😃
your sense of humour paired with your recipes makes you one of my favorite recipe/food youtubers ever! Keep it up!
You should cover them with oil before shaking them like a Maraca so you don't have to mix them on the parchment
Very excited about this one! Seriously delish. Also just FYI the meal kit does come with both nori sheets and nori flakes - so you can choose whether to do the full on flakey version, or the simpler (wrap nori around the tofu block) version. There’s a time and a plaice for both methods!
Great idea to use a kit, what about making a jackfruit version?
Okay now, I'm not vegan though I'm trying to incorporate more meatless dinners - and that's how I stumbled upon your channel. After binge watching all of the videos I attempted to produce lyrics for "Under the sink". Not a masterpiece but I tried. Thank you
The spinach is always greener on somebody else's plate
You think about getting takeout
But that is a big mistake
Just open your british freezer
Roll over your kitchen floor
Make your own vegan dinner
What are you waiting for?
Under the sink
Under the sink
Microvawe's better
Down where it's wetter
Don't you agree?
Up on the counter it gets in way
And the room seems more gray
Way more space in here
Now that's down in there
Under the sink
Wow!
Brilliant!
@@TheEasyVegan OMG senpai noticed me, thank you! It's exam season in my Uni right now so I may produce more lyrics. Fancy a collaboration for your next video? Wink wink
I come back to these videos periodically - both for the recipe and the delicious visuals as well as the unmatchable humor. Love your stuff! Superb editing, too!
I just made this recipe and for the first time ever I actually enjoyed tofu. This is CRAZY GOOD! Thank you!!
you're hilarious I am not even vegan I just watch your videos because of your personality 😂😂
Aww haha, that's similar to how I started out! Go give it a try!
This is a pretty cool summary why it's worth it: m.ruclips.net/video/Z3u7hXpOm58/видео.html
Mr Schmidt fucking bot
Ditto! ;D
I just made this yesterday and it was so delicious 😭😭😭 thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I'm slowly trying to become vegetarian (and vegan later on) so this truly helped me a lot!
I went cold turkey on vegan, it helped me a bit coz I didn't eat much animals
Chi - Proud of you!! I went vegan in january and i feel so much better
That's the best "seafood" recipe that I found on RUclips and I'm totally in love with it!
At first I wasn't excepting anything but WOW I miss a lot fish taste and texture and that's just perfect!
Canadian Plant based beginner, here ! I can't tell you how enjoyable this video was to watch. The Brits do indeed make everything better.
The layyyyeeerrssss 🤤🤤🤤
I’ve made tofu fish with the nori sheets before and always thought it needed more nori but wasn’t sure how to do it - thanks for solving that! Plus, you’re videos are pure entertainment as well as information. Two thumbs up!
I don't think there is ever a more entertaining cooking channel...like ever! I can watch your videos over and over.
“You can roll up a fat one” 😂
I would have never considered buying a meal kit because of waste. Thank you for addressing that! I like the cornstarch sachet :-)
I love your videos and humour. Keep uploading videos pleaase😍😏
I love your videos so much. You're hilarious and your recipes are mind blowing! So good! ❤️
Your the vegan version of binging with babish
U mean Binging??
YES
Not really, not even close lol...
he's better but unfortunately does not put out videos as fast. worth the wait
naw, babish has *way* higher production values and a real studio. This guy is clearly doing it in his home kitchen. They're both good channels, but the difference is amateur vs professional
Can you make a video about why you went vegan?
I would love to see a video on this!
Watching Earthlings should suffice.
@@melw401 You know I'm vegan but ive never seen Earthlings lol
Tue Milkovich proceed with caution
@@melw401 Earthlings isn't really that amazing. I found it to be a bit too much on the soppy emotional manipulation end, I couldn't take it seriously. Mind you I was already a long time vegan when I watched it.
Brilliant! Best vegan ‘fish’ and chips I’ve seen demonstrated. Now to get the ingredients tomorrow 😍
Thanks Sue. Hope it goes well. Be sure to tag me or email me a pic. Enjoy :)))
You're frickin hilarious 😁 I actually started cooking because of your videos. And this is the best kind of vegan activism - starting a cooking channel. Thanks for the inspiration!!! I'm sending the links to your videos to all my vegan and almost vegan friends 😊
THIS WAS HILARIOUS! You gained a new sub, thanks!
Can’t imagine how much effort you put in making this video! Much appreciated for lighting up our lives :) xx
Ahhhhhhmazing looking fish not fish! 😍
Thanks Mary 😁
Vegan food legends!
It'd better be fish even not looking like one. Nutrition is not just cookery and processing.
The Easy Vegan the queen approves
I love that you put the full recipe in the description as well! If this recipe turns out as good as it sounds I won't regret getting the ingredients myself & can do a faux fish fry once a month!
Just doscovered you channel from this being recommended to me and immediately subscribed before the video was even over. Brilliant recipe, well explained without taking any more time than necessary, from the UK so easier for me to understand being from there myself, plus it was funny and entertaining. Great content thank you man!
So happy to see a new video from you!
Your channel is my favorite cooking channel! You'r vegan, you'r funny and your video editing is great! Please never stop making content :)
OMG! This was hilarious (and informative). How have I never seen one of your videos before?!
So gooooood! This made it easier for my non-vegan family members to enjoy tofu. Thanks so much
I went to England and Ireland for Hollidays sooooo often! Fish&Chips were always this special and delicious thing we don‘t have at home.
SO!
Now I CAN have it at home - in VEGAN! 🥳
I love your mindset and I love your CHANNEL!! 🥰
Love me some mixxy mixxy mix
My husband and I made these today and they were DELICIOUS! Everyone should try them out. You will love this vegan fish and the chips are great as well.
I'm trying to quit meat and this channel is really helpful ♥️love it!!
I love your videos! Yum! Have you ever heard of “Old Bay” seasoning ? It’s used in the states for crab and crawfish boils. It might be tasty in your batter on the tofish. 😁
I'm just a notification junkie! Liked before I even saw it! Haha good to see anything uploaded by your good self!
Thanks Emily :)))
Thanks for the great recipe!! Definitely will have to try.
You are amazing...
I come back here to check out your old videos from time to time. I laughed a lot again tonight by going through your videos.
Thanks for being amazing and bringing so much laughter and inspiration to people around the world.
Salut!
Miss you from Australia 🇦🇺
Came for recipe, stayed for the *magnetic* personality (it's not a real expression it just felt right)
But it IS a real expression!
“That was my toxic masculinity leaking out” I’m screaming 😂😂
I never laugh so much watching a cooking video in my life 😂 and it's first time watching one of yours, subscribed straight away, love it! 😁
i like how you speak fast, keeps the pace up and how you say "cool" after all your sentences

This recipe looks delicious, but you really should reel in the fish puns a bit. :p
Yeah, he's still not off the hook for these.
there are so many good jokes i can't pick just one.
BUT DAMN THOSE CHIPS! this whole recipe is amazing and i love love LOVE the editing and humor!
NEW SUB
I just made the recipe. It's delicious, tastes & smells like actual fish! Even the texture is quite similar. 5/5
I just started watching your channel today and I wanted to say I love your videos!!! You’re so funny and I love your jokes. Your editing style is great, so quick and fun but very informative!!! going to subscribe :) ♥️
Lol I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s afraid of deep frying. I think if I ever deep fry I will long sleeves and oven mits. 😹😹😹
Thanks for some great videos yet again Jules! Hope life is treating you well! :)
omg, such a funny video, it's pure gold xD
I had my doubts, but I just made this recipe and IT'S AMAZING! Fish taste and all! Even the chips are delicious. So impressed, this was perfect for a feel good vegan splurge. Thank you!
This was incredibly awesome I loved the pacing the puns and your style!
Love your videos I think I want to try to make my family a meat free day because of your videos! Does it matter what kind of tofu I use though ?
Ideally extra firm. Firm will also do it. I hope everyone enjoys 👍
@@TheEasyVegan thanks!
Aaand there's my foot! 😂
Made this last week. It was so good! The whole seaweed thing is genius!
ok, this is the first video i watched and i'm already in love with this channel.
You know, there are lots of amazing vegetable cuisine in asia. And yet every vegan food that almost always get the spotlight are gluten and tofu.
Logos Maxima sad right...
Spotlights are Imitations of real meat
Cause it's an imitation of European cuisine, dude, hence all the tofu and gluten. Asian cuisine is awesome, but not that easy to eat on a daily basis in Europe :)
I'm Asian so I make mostly Asian dishes but I'm also british and fish was the hardest part of going vegan. It's why I want from pescatarian to straight up vegan cause the rest weren't that hard for me. I needed this recipe and can't wait to try it all I need it nori, got all the other ingredients.
they are versatile and cheap, you can tofu almost at any chinese market around the world. The vegetables you use depend on your location, the european north doesnt grow shit but here in south america theres is tons of options very much like asian vegetables
I'm not vegan but he's so hilarious ++ these recipes look so yummy, might try them soon!!
This was such a great video!! Quick and to the point. Well done, Sir!
Tried this recipe out and was awesome 👏😁👍🏽 so good I’m making nother batch and having friend over for lunch. Thank you so much for your brilliant video 😊👍🏽🙌🏼🤗
