@burteriksson not sure what you’re on about. He rarely apologizes for anything-but rather points out firmly and kindly that people are talking nonsense-and what on earth would he be sued for? They’re CHIPS
Such an important point about cooking/preparing the potatoes the way YOU like them. Not the way some tradition or recipe dictates, but the way YOU like to eat them. I get so tired of the pasta snobs on the internet, insisting that pasta MUST be cooked al dente. I don’t like it like that 😐. I like MY pasta fully cooked. If it’s not authentic, so be it. It’s the way I like it 😛. Btw, I just had breakfast, but that fish fillet (and the chips really) looked amazing and had me planning my lunch menu for today, already.
I agree with your notion of enjoying things how you like it, but you should maintain the distinction between casual/personal and proper objectives. Pasta snobs are annoying, but the other side would be uninformed folks spreading false information about certain standards, traditions, methods, etc. Obviously this doesn't apply to 99% of cooks making home food. I just wanted to give my 2 cents on a polarizing topic.
you gotta love that whole interior that hasn't changed a bit since the '70s. A table with a flower cloth, a leaves placemat and leaves & flower plates :) Awesome, nostalgic.
This is the first video of yours that I regret watching. Not because it was poor, but I'm really hungry and I'm still waiting for the chicken breasts to defrost. I'm utterly jealous of that chip buttie in particular. I've always been of the belief carbs on carbs doesn't count if it's laced with butter and vinegar.
@@brianartillery I actually thought about this video on Sunday evening and ended up yielding to fish and chips for Monday's lunch. Usually a once or twice a year occasion for me, but I made sure to go to the local bakery and get some extra carby buns to add to the grandeur.
My best friend lives in London and I used to visit her every few months. The last time I went to see her, she took me to this beautiful little pub by the river and we had fish and chips. It was really really good. This video reminded me of how good it was. Unfortunately, I can't visit my friend anymore due to the pandemic, but maybe I'll give this recipe a try. Thanks for sharing and greetings from Greece
@Misspol222 It must have been providence that I found your comment, but I have to ask a couple of control questions, before asking my actual question to you. Are you yourself greek? As in Poledouris and Theodorakis or Zorbas, greek? And secondly, are you a decent cook, with good knowledge and execution on the recipes you do? Because if the answer to both of those is yes, then I could really use your help. You see, I recently picked up some Moussaka from a shop, it was ready-made, but by an in-house chef, made fresh the same day. But I was a more than a little bit disappointed, and for a couple of reasons. Firstly because there was way more potatoes than meat, but that's not even the biggest question that I have for you. It's because of Moussaka containing cinnamon. But just to be clear, I'm sure they had some recipe they followed, but to me, I could really taste the cinnamon, and therefore giving me more of a porridge vibe, as we usually eat our porridge with cinnamon and sugar on the top. And while I'm sure the recipe might be supposed to have cinnamon in it, I think they might have been too light on the other spices, making the cinnamon come through even more, as it packs a flavorful punch, even in small amounts. So my question is this, are you supposed to taste the cinnamon like that, and it's just something one has to get used to, or do you think they might have messed up? Because I haven't eaten Moussaka often, but the first time, I made it at home, with one of those "kits" you can pick up at the store, and I don't remember it tasting like that. And I also want to ask if there isn't supposed to be a decent amount of meat to potatoes ratio, or did I just get unlucky? But most importantly, the one I had recently, seemed otherwise bland, and low on meat, but with a noticeable cinnamon note to it. And since I've only had Moussaka 3 or 4 times in total, including this latest disappointment, I hope that you as a greek, can give me the rundown of what a real authentic greek Moussaka is supposed to be, and taste like? And do I just have to get used to the flavor, or did they in fact butcher one of Greece's most famous dishes? Because the cinnamon part was bad enough on its own, but like I said, it was otherwise bland, and low on meat. And if I remember anything about greek food, from visiting there (Kos island) back in '95, is that it's full of flavor, but not overly spicy, but full of herbs and spices, much like the Italian cuisine. But all in all, in terms of spicyness, more on the balanced/medium level. And really delicious, if done right. But that Moussaka I had just a couple of days ago, was quite the disappointment. And sorry this was long, but I hope you still took the time to read it all, and answers to the best of your knowledge and abilities. Thanks in advance, from Beat. 👋😊
1:21 Hey we're not here for the video quality, that just happens to be a nice effect of you being a quality RUclipsr. We're here for the quality content you ALWAYS produce. I honestly think you're one of the few that we don't really care about how the video looks, because it's always top notch content. I always make sure I can fully watch your videos because they're always very intriguing.
I learned recently that vinegar in the water when boiling can keep the chips more structurally sound due to the acid preventing breakdown of the pectin in the potatoes.
No. If you take a look at Hector Blumenthal's recipe on here, you will learn how his Method is considered possibly the best in the world, and that's by chefs from all over the world. His is scientifically designed and based upon those principles. His takes a long time, be prepared. I shall try this recipe and method . I shall use Olive Oil as for me, it's the best. Personal.taste. I note your chips were cooked about three times going by the final colour.
Pretty random but I'd love to hear what thrash you enjoy. I adore German thrash myself (Sodom, Destruction, etc) and Slayer too. American "pizza-thrash" never appealed to me. Slayer is among the American bands which I enjoy.
I'm not much of a metal-(subgenre)-aficionado, but I do appreciate it from time to time. So I happened to be listening to Mr. Bungles latest release "The Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny Demo", which is a formidable re-recording of their 1986 first demo tape of the same name. Extremely talented musicians, and a *very* different album from their other albums.
decompressing from a shift watching a man on the other side of the country making wholesome food whilst I eat my processed ready meal is the timeline I am stuck on for now lol
One year my parents happened to book a holiday on Menorca for the family, and the hotel we were in was primarily frequented by Brits. I got introduced to what I'm gonna call the "anything butty" there - some guys would put really anything in a roll, be it chips, spaghetti (with sauce) or even paella. Also, tea and cake in the afternoon, and three snacks (including a midnight one) which were always sausages, chips, and I forgot what else. Great time all around.
This channel has become one of my favourites to watch on RUclips, not just because of its wholesome setting and being random and enjoyable, but because it's made me less afraid to try new foods, and also given me motivation to cook more at dinnertimes while at uni. I feel to me personally, the video quality isn't how it looks, but just enjoying the journey of your videos and what you're doing. Keep doing you, I'll be watching all the way
Me, I parboil the chips after cutting sometimes and I use lard to deep fry them in a suitably large chip pan. Always taste better on the second or third batch. Fish, exactly like yours. Smashing.
The chip sandwich is, to me, the great treasure of British cuisine. When I first visited the UK to check out universities (Spaniard who went to an English uni here) I ended up in a tiny fish and chip shop in Coventry full of older people and noticed all of them were making sandwiches out of their chips. It seemed really bizarre - I'd never heard of anything like it before - so I tried doing the same and it's ridiculously delicious, I really don't understand how it isn't a thing all around the world.
It kind of is a thing with the Afghan population in Pakistan. They have this thing called an afghan burger - afghan flatbread rolling chips, vinegered zucchini, hot dogs (beef) or slices of pepperoni (beef), and a healthy dose of curried mayonnaise. God, nothing makes me happier than chips with flatbread.
I love it! The chips look awesome, gourmet style. Here in Germany we make the fish pretty much the same, but we put it on a roll with remoulade (mayo with herbs) very nice! Good job Mr. Shrimpman
These videos are great. I moved from the UK two years ago and these’ve got a nice cosy and nostalgic feel. Keep up the great content, sir! Love from Japan ✌🏻
You made the fish and chips EXACTLY the way I grew up eating them in Central Pennsylvania, although we didn't do mushy peas. And in regard to the clumpy batter, I havdon't heard "claggy" since my grandmother died in the 1980s. In a strange coincidence, her last name was Claggett.
No I think that would ruin it. TV channels require people to be very specific about something other than him being specific about something that interests him
Whether I'm looking for a quick and interesting video to watch while having lunch at work, something to put on in the background while I cook or just something light hearted and thought-provoking before bed. You do them all :) Keep at it! Love the channel.
Hey Shrimp, have you seen Julien Solomita vegan fish and chips recipe? Apparently it's crazy how similar it is to fish, it would be super interesting to see what you think about it and if it's easy to recreate Love your videos :)
@@AtomicShrimp do you have the show Jamie 30 minutes or less meals? He's British but I'm not sure where the show is produced. Have you ever dipped your chips in honey? Or mayonnaise? Greetings from Delaware USA
I'm watching a man make fish & chips (with mandatory Mushy peas and chip butty), and I'm enjoying it all. The only thing missing were scraps/bits, used to love mixing them into the mushy peas when I was a young lad, doubt my heart would thank me for it however 😄
I'm Aussie, and think you did an awesome job with the fish and chips, with clear instructions for a beginner to follow. I personally love the variability of different cooks' efforts. I can't wait to watch Babatunde's video next.
In the US, the right texture is usually achieved by double frying them. First at a lower temp, then pull them and let them cool somewhat, then back in at a higher temp to finish and crisp up the outside. For what it’s worth.
@@psidvicious for a number of years i was a chef here in the uk and thats exactly how we did our chips, around 4 mins blanching in oil at 140C then drained and cooled thoroughly. to finish they get fried in oil at 185C until golden. if you chill them for a day after blanching they get the best crispiness and fluffiness when fried.
@@bipolartorecovery1485 if your doing it on the hob i reccomend getting a thermometer that reads to 240C so you can manage the oil safely. its the most common cause of fires near me because all the students do it and it gets too hot and catches fire
Absolutely wonderful, this video outstands many others in quality for producing this meal. Thank you! Your previous videos introduced me to Babatunde, and I am excited to see him make this meal as well!
When fellow Americans first hear about mushy peas and make a funny face, I tell them mushy peas are the British equivalent of refried beans. They usually say “Ohhhhh...” I live in Arizona.
@@sallyintucson If I can find any of that malt vinegar I think I'll try it one night. Just in case though, would you have a recommendation for another vinegar that would fall into the range of "close enough"? We're kinda limited here in small town Mississippi unfortunately.
Ooh, I love that vinegar dropper bottle! Here in the US, vinegar on chips (or fries) is not very common at all, even when you order fish and chips from a restaurant. But I absolutely love English and Irish pubs, and those places will sometimes have malt vinegar at the table, if they're authentic enough, and I have to say I love it, and I like it a lot more than ketchup on fries. Also, as a side note, I always thought it was interesting that fish and chips is called that even here in the states. In fact, that was the entryway for me learning, at a young age, that British and American English are even different at all. But now, I couldn't imagine calling it "fish and fries," that just sounds terrible.
When I was 6 years old, my parents (born and raised in Dublin, Ireland) immigrated here to the US. I remember being vary conscious of learning "American" words for things. like "chips" for french fries. Couch or sofa was "chesterfied". Cookies were biscuits. Growing up, we ate potatoes a lot and I stilll love them. For dinner, we'd have boiled or mashed. At a very young age, I learned to peel and cut potatoes for "chips". Knelt on chair at kitchen country. Used a knife and became very adopt at it. Used vinegar at home for years and then switched mainly to ketchup because that's all they served outside of home.
One effect of the british in Malta (other than fish and chip shops) is that we put mushy peas in a local food called pastizzi, if you ever visit, I'm sure you'd love our take on them ((:
I have long made my own version of mushy peas before I'd ever heard that term! A can of peas (they are already kind of mushy) then once they've boiled a bit I drain them, add a lot of butter, black pepper & Cajun seasoning. When I went to the UK I discovered mushy peas... 😍! On another note, this channel is great! Unpretentious production, no product placement, and a great variety of subjects. This defeats the dreaded RUclips algorithm that feeds me the same stuff over and over. Bravo! 👏
I made this following your instructions exactly. It turned out fabulous and your precise instructions, (even showing the timing), really worked for me! Very tasty and I will do it again!
There used to be a chippy down here (Worthing) that you would get a free soft white roll if you wanted with your order also you could buy a big bag of crispy bits for 25p.
I love watching your videos hungover, they’re interesting regarding variety, and your mannerisms are very elegant. Thanks! Helps me get through a very long day - lol.
Heyho Shrimp, what kind of vinegar do you use on your chips? I presume you use real vinegar and no mockup-acid-condement. I really love your recipies. I'd love to make this for new years eve this year. everytime I tried it before the vinegar was the the ingredient I done totally wrong, perhaps because I did not use the abomniation of condiment(I also think in germany it would not be available in stores).
Damn, I've never seen anyone else parboil their chips. Thought I was the only one. I find it works best when i boil them in saltwater with a tiny pinch of baking soda and dried chillies. Definitely helps get the crust going, with the insides soft and fluffy. I boil em until they're just barely keeping together though, which gets a little risky when you put them in the oil.
@@EvaAdorable Honestly, you can't taste the chilli much if at all but I feel for some reason that they amplify the flavour slightly, so I just throw them in out of habit. I should experiment with that a little more. The important thing though is the salt and baking powder. The salt brines the potato, whereas the baking soda lets them get crispier by increasing the pH, breaking down the pectin on the outside of the chips, which increases the surface area and therefore the crispiness.
@@novapariah8135 That's really interesting about the pH and pectin! When you make pretzels sometimes you boil them for 30 seconds in a baking soda bath. Maybe something similar is happening there.

@@AtomicShrimp Hopefully your acetic acid is diluted enough! Great channel, some truly random content and I had never considered a chemistry pipette bottle for vinegar... until now! :D
parboiling chips is decadent folly, I cold fry them... into cold oil, bring to temperature, half cook, remove, fry fish, add chips to perfection. As for batter I use only wheat flour with baking powder for a real crispness. This is from Gary Rhodes who points out you need a thick batter because the fish does not fry, it steams in the batter envelope. He's a sad loss. and mushy peas need a good glug of worcester or soy sauce And never apologise for a chip butty
In regards to your future shrimp edit at the beginning, honestly i love this channel and watch all your videos, you make something so simple really enjoyable to watch, the way you record and edit videos is good. Dont feel like just because its fish n chips its been done before, id watch you do a video on making a sandwiche
Great recipe, personally I like to make my chips with skin on but to each his own. I don't make them very often because deep frying makes my flat smell terrible. I'm reasonably certain that the vent over my stove goes nowhere. EDIT: Love the vinegar bottle, do you have an Amazon link?
@@AtomicShrimp i personally like my chips a bit more golden, but i couldnt tell if it was just the white balance making them look less golden. Superb video as always!
> I'm reasonably certain that the vent over my stove goes nowhere. That's definitely a possibility, you can either hook them up to a pipe that goes outside, or you operate them in a circulating mode where they just blow the air out the top again. In that case you have to make sure there's a filter in it to catch the grease, and to change the filter regularly. (And I don't mean the metal mesh, but like a cotton wool filter inside.) The vinegar bottle looks like something you'd find in an old-time pharmacy.
Many stove vents in apartments put the air through a poor filter that catches some airborne fat, then exhausts it back into the kitchen a few inches higher up.
Can you use club soda or a neutral fizz? My husband and I love beer but not beer batters for some reason. Or do you have a good substitute for beer batter? I’m from the States.
When you cut into the fish the crackling sound was like music to my ears. I was somewhat perplexed when you added corn starch to the batter - have never come across that before. Your chips looked magnificent. In the mid to late 70's there was a Greek-Cypriot restaurant in Tottenham Court Road (London) and they had the most beautiful chips I have ever had - like yours looked - golden, slightly thick etc. I will never forget them It is sad what chips have become over the years - good ones are definitely hard to find - I also love Mushy Peas!!! Thanks for the video.
Love mushy peas.....but my fav is Parched Peas - with salt, vinegar and a good pinch of black pepper mmmmmm. Bread and Butter is a must for a fish supper - or a stove top roll or Barmcake mmmmmmmm
You know, I never was one much for cooking videos, but you’ve done it again! It’s so cool to not only watch something new, but especially on a channel with such awesome content! With love from the states! Keep shrimpin’:)
It actually says “mushy” peas on the can! This is being advertised as desirable! 😲. It does look sorta like split pea soup though, so I guess it’d be alright. I gotta try the cornstarch in the batter...that’s something new. That chip butty sandwich looks lovely...
Enjoy your food how you like it, My local chippy is pretty great they use proper Beef Dripping in the Fryers, which is something of a rarity these days.
Got to say that beef dripping does make superb fish and chips - haven't had them that way for a long time (I think a couple of years ago on the seafront at Great Yarmouth) but they were memorable. I think eating them on the beach somehow improves the experience too
Mike, looks delicious, I like the turmeric in the batter! I would have put the chips in the fridge for a while after boiling, then fried twice - first at 135°C, then at 185 to brown them up. But as you say brother, we all do it differently! Oh, and I'd always add a knob of butter to the mushy peas - much creamier!
i live in a seaside town next to grimsby. we are spoilt for proper fish and chips! so glad you used haddock although we always have fresh, full fillets in our chippies. the best place to eat f&c is on the each xxx
Man.... I miss fish and chips!! It was the first thing i ate when i got off the plane in Ireland. Is there a difference between fish and chips in Ireland vs. England or wales?
I've been lurking for a long time, but I gotta leave a comment finally. Your channel is so unique and i often let your videos play in the background while i do other stuff. Love the diverse topics and haimish aesthetics. Also your voice is very calming :)
One of the things I like about this video is it's done in a normal setting. So I could easily replicate it with my standard pan. I'll probably try this soon.
Loved it! And as for the Chip Butty; I used to do something like that as a child with corned beef! We'd put fried chips in it for the salt. Corned beef was a cheap meat that was once intended to survive a nuclear war!🤣 So, it had a lot of salt, like SPAM! Put it between two pieces of toast and butter and yum! We'd also have white rice and red beans with the corned beef. I'm making my own mouth water here! We'd also add adobo, cilantro and acete de achote. In English it's annato oil. The annato seeds are put in oil and the oil is allowed to slow boil for a bit. The seeds release their color and flavor into it and a cheese cloth or cloth colander used to strain coffee grounds would be used to get the seeds out, leaving this gorgeous red colored oil. Then, you would add garlic cloves, basil and cilantro into the bottle to have the oil absorb that flavor as well. Man, I miss cooking the old ways.
Your version of fish and chips looks so good! I will have to try this, mushy peas are always a plus too! I think trying different recipes of the same food is always fun. Thank you for sharing! 😊
I have a suspicion that tartar sauce is an American addition, but I'm not really sure. Certainly here it would be served with tartar sauce and ketchup, as opposed to just salt and pepper and vinegar.
I often make tartar sauce to accompany a meal like this. I decided against it this time purely because I didn't want to confound the collab aspect of the video

And since I've only had Moussaka 3 or 4 times in total, including this latest disappointment, I hope that you as a greek, can give me the rundown of what a real authentic greek Moussaka is supposed to be, and taste like? And do I just have to get used to the flavor, or did they in fact butcher one of Greece's most famous dishes? Because the cinnamon part was bad enough on its own, but like I said, it was otherwise bland, and low on meat. And if I remember anything about greek food, from visiting there (Kos island) back in '95, is that it's full of flavor, but not overly spicy, but full of herbs and spices, much like the Italian cuisine. But all in all, in terms of spicyness, more on the balanced/medium level. And really delicious, if done right. But that Moussaka I had just a couple of days ago, was quite the disappointment. And sorry this was long, but I hope you still took the time to read it all, and answers to the best of your knowledge and abilities. Thanks in advance, from Beat. 👋😊

Hey we're not here for the video quality, that just happens to be a nice effect of you being a quality RUclipsr.
We're here for the quality content you ALWAYS produce. I honestly think you're one of the few that we don't really care about how the video looks, because it's always top notch content.
I always make sure I can fully watch your videos because they're always very intriguing.
0:13 Award-winning? Such talented potatoes!
I learned recently that vinegar in the water when boiling can keep the chips more structurally sound due to the acid preventing breakdown of the pectin in the potatoes.
I'll give this a go tonight, thank you for the tidbit!
No.
If you take a look at Hector Blumenthal's recipe on here, you will learn how his Method is considered possibly the best in the world, and that's by chefs from all over the world. His is scientifically designed and based upon those principles. His takes a long time, be prepared. I shall try this recipe and method . I shall use Olive Oil as for me, it's the best. Personal.taste. I note your chips were cooked about three times going by the final colour.
I had no idea.
Switched from listening thrash metal to watching a man making fish & chips. Gotta love the Duality Of Man.
Pretty random but I'd love to hear what thrash you enjoy.
I adore German thrash myself (Sodom, Destruction, etc) and Slayer too. American "pizza-thrash" never appealed to me. Slayer is among the American bands which I enjoy.
I'm not much of a metal-(subgenre)-aficionado, but I do appreciate it from time to time. So I happened to be listening to Mr. Bungles latest release "The Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny Demo", which is a formidable re-recording of their 1986 first demo tape of the same name. Extremely talented musicians, and a *very* different album from their other albums.
So far, I have enjoyed your comments in a couple of different videos. The Shrimp has an amazingly positive comment section.
decompressing from a shift watching a man on the other side of the country making wholesome food whilst I eat my processed ready meal is the timeline I am stuck on for now lol
I love the laid back atmosphere, much love from morocco.
If you spend your life without eating chip butties (chip cobs in my case) you do not live longer, it just feels like it.
Better to have eaten and lost than to never have eaten at all. ❤️
@@PittsburghSonido That made me cry a tiny bit.
One year my parents happened to book a holiday on Menorca for the family, and the hotel we were in was primarily frequented by Brits. I got introduced to what I'm gonna call the "anything butty" there - some guys would put really anything in a roll, be it chips, spaghetti (with sauce) or even paella.
Also, tea and cake in the afternoon, and three snacks (including a midnight one) which were always sausages, chips, and I forgot what else. Great time all around.
@@rolfs2165 'even paella', you sir have not tried a toast sandwich! 😉
+1 for the cob team.
I gotta say, I live in the Caribbean and it's really refreshing seeing you make chips and fried fish using a prep/method/utensils the way I do it.
exactly what i was thinking, like cultures shaking hands
When you pulled the chips out of the oil they looked exactly like they were from an actual fish and chip shop 😊
Without all the chemical bleach..
@@cgavin1 What chip shops have you been going to? 😳
This channel has become one of my favourites to watch on RUclips, not just because of its wholesome setting and being random and enjoyable, but because it's made me less afraid to try new foods, and also given me motivation to cook more at dinnertimes while at uni.
I feel to me personally, the video quality isn't how it looks, but just enjoying the journey of your videos and what you're doing. Keep doing you, I'll be watching all the way
Me, I parboil the chips after cutting sometimes and I use lard to deep fry them in a suitably large chip pan. Always taste better on the second or third batch. Fish, exactly like yours. Smashing.
Fresh oil never seems to brown well until it's slightly broken down.
Friday night fish and chips, couldn't be more British!! Love it!! Time to go make mine as I watch.
Chip Roll!! An absolute banger here in South Africa!! We have the chips a lot softer and floppier and drenched in sauces! AMAZING!!
Will you be my favourite uncle please lol? Such an interesting man
That's funny, I was wondering if Jenny would accept an elderly sister-wife! 😂
Probably one of my favourite channels on RUclips simply because of the variety of video's that you do.
in wigan it's as good as gravy
The crossover I didn’t know I needed!
Nice seeing you here.
Pea wet 👌
oooh did nay expect this
I was absolutely not expecting to see you here, but I am here for it!!
The chip sandwich is, to me, the great treasure of British cuisine. When I first visited the UK to check out universities (Spaniard who went to an English uni here) I ended up in a tiny fish and chip shop in Coventry full of older people and noticed all of them were making sandwiches out of their chips. It seemed really bizarre - I'd never heard of anything like it before - so I tried doing the same and it's ridiculously delicious, I really don't understand how it isn't a thing all around the world.
It kind of is a thing with the Afghan population in Pakistan. They have this thing called an afghan burger - afghan flatbread rolling chips, vinegered zucchini, hot dogs (beef) or slices of pepperoni (beef), and a healthy dose of curried mayonnaise. God, nothing makes me happier than chips with flatbread.
Chip butties oh yes a wonderful secret of british cuisine
I love it! The chips look awesome, gourmet style. Here in Germany we make the fish pretty much the same, but we put it on a roll with remoulade (mayo with herbs) very nice! Good job Mr. Shrimpman
The care and love by this man behind these videos is enormous. He is so precise, neat and just nice...
Ooohhh thank you! I still crave the newspaper wrapped fish and chips in N Yorshire I ate weekly for 3 years
Which was what I enjoyed in Huddersfield, 64 years ago, with plenty of 'scraps'. Drooling!
These videos are great. I moved from the UK two years ago and these’ve got a nice cosy and nostalgic feel. Keep up the great content, sir! Love from Japan ✌🏻
You made the fish and chips EXACTLY the way I grew up eating them in Central Pennsylvania, although we didn't do mushy peas. And in regard to the clumpy batter, I havdon't heard "claggy" since my grandmother died in the 1980s. In a strange coincidence, her last name was Claggett.
You call it fish fry, right?
Can`t go wrong with the absolute classics. Very lovely.
You and Babatunde's friendship is some of the most wholesome content on youtube ☺
I am so glad I have discovered you on You Tube! My husband was born in England, and I love your recipes, and your philosophy!
This man needs his own tv show.
No I think that would ruin it. TV channels require people to be very specific about something other than him being specific about something that interests him
Shrimp TV!
@@bipolartorecovery1485 yup, TV is death to creativity.
TV when he has a RUclips channel? OK Boomer!
@@bipolartorecovery1485 Not always. River cottage is an example of when it can be about a little bit of everything.

This is how cooking shows should be - concise and clear.
Whether I'm looking for a quick and interesting video to watch while having lunch at work, something to put on in the background while I cook or just something light hearted and thought-provoking before bed. You do them all :) Keep at it! Love the channel.
Hey Shrimp, have you seen Julien Solomita vegan fish and chips recipe? Apparently it's crazy how similar it is to fish, it would be super interesting to see what you think about it and if it's easy to recreate
Love your videos :)
Not sure I have seen that one, but I will check it out. I have a plan afoot to try a 'vegan fried fish' experiment of my own, using Parasol Mushrooms
Thanks for the tip!
SortedFood also has a vegan fish and chips video. One of the fish replacements they used was (canned) banana flower.
Yes, that was interesting, didn’t he use celeriac? I am not even vegan but love Julien’s channel.
@@AtomicShrimp do you have the show Jamie 30 minutes or less meals? He's British but I'm not sure where the show is produced. Have you ever dipped your chips in honey? Or mayonnaise? Greetings from Delaware USA
I don't know why these videos are so watchable, they just are, I love em
I'm watching a man make fish & chips (with mandatory Mushy peas and chip butty), and I'm enjoying it all.
The only thing missing were scraps/bits, used to love mixing them into the mushy peas when I was a young lad, doubt my heart would thank me for it however 😄
I'm Aussie, and think you did an awesome job with the fish and chips, with clear instructions for a beginner to follow. I personally love the variability of different cooks' efforts. I can't wait to watch Babatunde's video next.
I recently found that steaming the chips first is a good way to soften them a bit without any risk of mashification or breakage.
In the US, the right texture is usually achieved by double frying them. First at a lower temp, then pull them and let them cool somewhat, then back in at a higher temp to finish and crisp up the outside. For what it’s worth.
@@psidvicious for a number of years i was a chef here in the uk and thats exactly how we did our chips, around 4 mins blanching in oil at 140C then drained and cooled thoroughly. to finish they get fried in oil at 185C until golden. if you chill them for a day after blanching they get the best crispiness and fluffiness when fried.
I might have to try that because they got a good deal on some potatoes lately
@@psidvicious I have also oven bake them with southwestern seasoning
@@bipolartorecovery1485 if your doing it on the hob i reccomend getting a thermometer that reads to 240C so you can manage the oil safely. its the most common cause of fires near me because all the students do it and it gets too hot and catches fire
Absolutely wonderful, this video outstands many others in quality for producing this meal. Thank you! Your previous videos introduced me to Babatunde, and I am excited to see him make this meal as well!
When fellow Americans first hear about mushy peas and make a funny face, I tell them mushy peas are the British equivalent of refried beans. They usually say “Ohhhhh...” I live in Arizona.
I always imagined it to be like overdone split pea soup with less liquid.
@@johnsteel6008 It’s more bland. Traditionally you put malt vinegar on it. (Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.)
@@sallyintucson If I can find any of that malt vinegar I think I'll try it one night. Just in case though, would you have a recommendation for another vinegar that would fall into the range of "close enough"? We're kinda limited here in small town Mississippi unfortunately.
@@johnsteel6008 Malt vinegar tastes VERY different than other vinegars.
Ooh, I love that vinegar dropper bottle! Here in the US, vinegar on chips (or fries) is not very common at all, even when you order fish and chips from a restaurant. But I absolutely love English and Irish pubs, and those places will sometimes have malt vinegar at the table, if they're authentic enough, and I have to say I love it, and I like it a lot more than ketchup on fries.
Also, as a side note, I always thought it was interesting that fish and chips is called that even here in the states. In fact, that was the entryway for me learning, at a young age, that British and American English are even different at all. But now, I couldn't imagine calling it "fish and fries," that just sounds terrible.
I want to know where he found thw vinegar dropper
Omg if u like malt vinegar try cider vinegar
When I was 6 years old, my parents (born and raised in Dublin, Ireland) immigrated here to the US. I remember being vary conscious of learning "American" words for things.
like "chips" for french fries. Couch or sofa was "chesterfied". Cookies were biscuits.
Growing up, we ate potatoes a lot and I stilll love them. For dinner, we'd have boiled or mashed. At a very young age, I learned to peel and cut potatoes for "chips". Knelt on chair at kitchen country. Used a knife and became very adopt at it. Used vinegar at home for years and then switched mainly to ketchup because that's all they served outside of home.
@@sampolchow5724 look for a reagent bottle on bangood. I now have the same.
@@arx754 couch for me has always been 'settee'. I suppose that's a regional thing from where I am in Britain
One effect of the british in Malta (other than fish and chip shops) is that we put mushy peas in a local food called pastizzi, if you ever visit, I'm sure you'd love our take on them ((:
i am currently at college and watching your videos has really helped me get more comfortable cooking for myself! thank you!
THANKYOU your channel is helping me learn to cook basic meals.
I have long made my own version of mushy peas before I'd ever heard that term! A can of peas (they are already kind of mushy) then once they've boiled a bit I drain them, add a lot of butter, black pepper & Cajun seasoning. When I went to the UK I discovered mushy peas... 😍!
On another note, this channel is great! Unpretentious production, no product placement, and a great variety of subjects. This defeats the dreaded RUclips algorithm that feeds me the same stuff over and over. Bravo! 👏
A bit of rock salt on the fish 5-10 minutes before cooking removes a lot of water (pat dry and shake salt off after)
kosher salt FTW!
I made this following your instructions exactly. It turned out fabulous and your precise instructions, (even showing the timing), really worked for me! Very tasty and I will do it again!
There used to be a chippy down here (Worthing) that you would get a free soft white roll if you wanted with your order also you could buy a big bag of crispy bits for 25p.
batter scraps! Yes. I remember chip shops giving them away free to kids with no money (or who just said they had no money)
@@AtomicShrimp one of my friends would always ask for them because they were free. They’re known as scratchings where we grew up.
I always ask for scraps with anything I order from the chippy!
I love watching your videos hungover, they’re interesting regarding variety, and your mannerisms are very elegant. Thanks! Helps me get through a very long day - lol.
Much love from India, FISH & CHIPS RULE!!!11!!
My local chip shop does masala fish. It's lovely. Interesting fact. It's also a drive thru fish and chip shop.
Your fish and chips look delicious. I am enjoying these video colaberations between you and Babatunde, immensely.
You should try making "Atomic Shrimp" I guess just really, flavorful, cajun style spicy shrimp
Of course I don't support cannibalism xD
I really should do that
@@AtomicShrimp I guess "Mange Tout" wasn't an overstatement.. especially with Weird Stuff in a Can
Heyho Shrimp, what kind of vinegar do you use on your chips? I presume you use real vinegar and no mockup-acid-condement.
I really love your recipies. I'd love to make this for new years eve this year. everytime I tried it before the vinegar was the the ingredient I done totally wrong, perhaps because I did not use the abomniation of condiment(I also think in germany it would not be available in stores).
I use Sarsons malt vinegar
@@AtomicShrimp which is available in germany. Found it in a nearby supermarket(REWE for 3,59€, which is a reasonable price for me) ! thanks alot!
Damn, I've never seen anyone else parboil their chips. Thought I was the only one.
I find it works best when i boil them in saltwater with a tiny pinch of baking soda and dried chillies. Definitely helps get the crust going, with the insides soft and fluffy. I boil em until they're just barely keeping together though, which gets a little risky when you put them in the oil.
Neat tips. Can you actually taste the dried chillis? How much do you have to add before it imparts a flavour? Or is there another reason for doing it?
@@EvaAdorable Honestly, you can't taste the chilli much if at all but I feel for some reason that they amplify the flavour slightly, so I just throw them in out of habit. I should experiment with that a little more.
The important thing though is the salt and baking powder. The salt brines the potato, whereas the baking soda lets them get crispier by increasing the pH, breaking down the pectin on the outside of the chips, which increases the surface area and therefore the crispiness.
@@novapariah8135 That's really interesting about the pH and pectin! When you make pretzels sometimes you boil them for 30 seconds in a baking soda bath. Maybe something similar is happening there.
@@EvaAdorable I think so, yeah. The alkalinity makes the pretzel rise less around the edges so it gets a chewier crust
I totally agree about almost over boiling the chips.. i do similar when i cook my roast potatoes
That looks so delicious. I am so envious. I wish I was eating dinner with you. Thanks for another great video.
where can I find this vinegar dispenser, seen and fell in love.
It's actually a bit of lab glassware - the larger size of these: uk.banggood.com/Clear-Glass-Dropper-Dropping-Reagent-Storage-Bottle-Lab-Glassware-w-Ground-Glass-Pipette-30-125mL-p-1260380.html?gmcCountry=GB¤cy=GBP&createTmp=1&ID=533361&cur_warehouse=CN
Excellent, many thanks!
@@DirkMilus I also was admiring that and thought “what a perfectly efficient dispensing method.”
@@AtomicShrimp Hopefully your acetic acid is diluted enough! Great channel, some truly random content and I had never considered a chemistry pipette bottle for vinegar... until now! :D
@@AtomicShrimp awesome idea! You should market them at ten times the price LOL
parboiling chips is decadent folly, I cold fry them... into cold oil, bring to temperature, half cook, remove, fry fish, add chips to perfection. As for batter I use only wheat flour with baking powder for a real crispness. This is from Gary Rhodes who points out you need a thick batter because the fish does not fry, it steams in the batter envelope. He's a sad loss. and mushy peas need a good glug of worcester or soy sauce And never apologise for a chip butty
In regards to your future shrimp edit at the beginning, honestly i love this channel and watch all your videos, you make something so simple really enjoyable to watch, the way you record and edit videos is good. Dont feel like just because its fish n chips its been done before, id watch you do a video on making a sandwiche
Yes!! Someone else who puts pepper on their chips as well as Salt and Vinegar! Love it!!
Great recipe, personally I like to make my chips with skin on but to each his own. I don't make them very often because deep frying makes my flat smell terrible. I'm reasonably certain that the vent over my stove goes nowhere.
EDIT: Love the vinegar bottle, do you have an Amazon link?
Yeah, I would normally leave the skins on as a preference myself, but wanted to keep this as 'classic' as I could
@@AtomicShrimp i personally like my chips a bit more golden, but i couldnt tell if it was just the white balance making them look less golden. Superb video as always!
Maybe the vent doesn't go anywhere and it's one of those carbon filter ones. Not being patronising, but might be worth a check if you don't know!
> I'm reasonably certain that the vent over my stove goes nowhere.
That's definitely a possibility, you can either hook them up to a pipe that goes outside, or you operate them in a circulating mode where they just blow the air out the top again. In that case you have to make sure there's a filter in it to catch the grease, and to change the filter regularly. (And I don't mean the metal mesh, but like a cotton wool filter inside.)
The vinegar bottle looks like something you'd find in an old-time pharmacy.
Many stove vents in apartments put the air through a poor filter that catches some airborne fat, then exhausts it back into the kitchen a few inches higher up.
Can you use club soda or a neutral fizz? My husband and I love beer but not beer batters for some reason. Or do you have a good substitute for beer batter? I’m from the States.
When you cut into the fish the crackling sound was like music to my ears. I was somewhat perplexed when you added corn starch to the batter - have never come across that before. Your chips looked magnificent. In the mid to late 70's there was a Greek-Cypriot restaurant in Tottenham Court Road (London) and they had the most beautiful chips I have ever had - like yours looked - golden, slightly thick etc. I will never forget them It is sad what chips have become over the years - good ones are definitely hard to find - I also love Mushy Peas!!! Thanks for the video.
Did you do anything with the potato peelings or did you just chuck them? I don't often peel potatoes but I've heard the peelings can make nice crisps.
I imagine they would - usually I just leave them on the potatoes. They went in the compost (so not wasted really)
Love mushy peas.....but my fav is Parched Peas - with salt, vinegar and a good pinch of black pepper mmmmmm. Bread and Butter is a must for a fish supper - or a stove top roll or Barmcake mmmmmmmm
You know, I never was one much for cooking videos, but you’ve done it again!
It’s so cool to not only watch something new, but especially on a channel with such awesome content!
With love from the states!

And now I've got fish filets and potatoes on my shopping list.
I love the atmosphere of this channel, so peaceful.
It actually says “mushy” peas on the can! This is being advertised as desirable! 😲. It does look sorta like split pea soup though, so I guess it’d be alright.
I gotta try the cornstarch in the batter...that’s something new.
That chip butty sandwich looks lovely...
i could honestly watch you do anything, you have such a pleasant vibe
Yum. I'm hungry now! I've never had a fry sandwich. But I do put store bought potatoes chips on my lunch meat sandwich. So I get it🙂.
Chip butty is what a fry sandwich is called in the UK and theyre fab.🤣👍
Your ability to use a can opener with such ease is something to be proud of
Enjoy your food how you like it, My local chippy is pretty great they use proper Beef Dripping in the Fryers, which is something of a rarity these days.
Got to say that beef dripping does make superb fish and chips - haven't had them that way for a long time (I think a couple of years ago on the seafront at Great Yarmouth) but they were memorable. I think eating them on the beach somehow improves the experience too
You jammy sod!
@I love coconuts They don't sell it by weight, you just order Fish and Chips or Special and Chips, lol.
Mike, looks delicious, I like the turmeric in the batter! I would have put the chips in the fridge for a while after boiling, then fried twice - first at 135°C, then at 185 to brown them up. But as you say brother, we all do it differently! Oh, and I'd always add a knob of butter to the mushy peas - much creamier!
Found your channel whole watching scam baiting vids, watched your vids, loved all your content, subbed 👍
i live in a seaside town next to grimsby. we are spoilt for proper fish and chips! so glad you used haddock although we always have fresh, full fillets in our chippies. the best place to eat f&c is on the each xxx

the sandwich looks soooi good! as an american it’s not uncommon to see breaded meat sandwiches :)
A British sandwich I recommend you try is tin tuna and HP brown sauce. Try it my friend. Delicious!
Loved it! And as for the Chip Butty; I used to do something like that as a child with corned beef! We'd put fried chips in it for the salt. Corned beef was a cheap meat that was once intended to survive a nuclear war!🤣 So, it had a lot of salt, like SPAM! Put it between two pieces of toast and butter and yum! We'd also have white rice and red beans with the corned beef. I'm making my own mouth water here! We'd also add adobo, cilantro and acete de achote. In English it's annato oil. The annato seeds are put in oil and the oil is allowed to slow boil for a bit. The seeds release their color and flavor into it and a cheese cloth or cloth colander used to strain coffee grounds would be used to get the seeds out, leaving this gorgeous red colored oil. Then, you would add garlic cloves, basil and cilantro into the bottle to have the oil absorb that flavor as well. Man, I miss cooking the old ways.
Fish and chips are the reason us Brits get up in the morning
nah a full english breakfast does that for me ;)
Not a proper cuppa?

you haven't lived until you have had chips cooked in duck fat. religious experience.
what....no tartar sauce? and .....no little doggo?
I have a suspicion that tartar sauce is an American addition, but I'm not really sure. Certainly here it would be served with tartar sauce and ketchup, as opposed to just salt and pepper and vinegar.
@Speez71rm yeah...there is no comparison with veg oil...even beef fat is a huge difference.
