Beer Battered Fish and Chips Cooked on the Campfire. Homemade Tartare Sauce. Cast Iron Cooking.

- Опубликовано: 28 мар 2023
- In this video, I head off to the woods to do a bit of campfire cooking - traditional English beer battered fish and chips cooked in a dutch oven with homemade (woodsmade) tartare sauce and mushy peas.
After gathering firewood, I get a nice fire lit and begin to prepare everything. I am deep frying the fish and chips, so a bit of care is needed with the hot oil to avoid burns and a chip-pan fire! It is always a good idea to have a damp cloth or tea towel at hand to smother the pan if it does catch fire! I had my wool shirt close by just in case.
Fish tastes so good battered and deep fried, so it is worth taking the extra steps to make a nice batter - this one has beer in it to create air bubbles for that light and crispy crunch.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.

Imagine you're on a nice walk in the Norfolk countryside and then all of a sudden, the smell of fish and chips wafts up your nose 😂
Got to feel sorry for the wildlife in these localities. All those aromas but zero chance of enjoying the food!
I'd worry I was having a aneurysm 🤣🤣🤣
Ah Bliss😋
I bet it tasted ten times better with wood smoked flavours.
@@tarmacdemon doesn’t everything? :)
Simon - your videos should be prescribed on the NHS to help folks deal with anxiety - they’re so calming!
Oh, yeah. Homemade tartar sauce! Makes for the best fish sandwiches.
Simon's back! 4.2K views within 3 hours of posting this video. Simon eats fish. Simon drinks beer. Simon walks about. And we all watch!
Thank you Simon for having us for lunch, although it was a bit one-sided on the portions. Thank you, you always tend to gladden my day.
Hi Simon, I'm so sorry to hear about Maggie. All my best to yourself and your family. Stay strong my friend. 👊
Eating good in the woods. I live in the US but had a chance to work at the Mini plant in Oxford helping them with some logistic issues for 6 weeks about 7 years ago. Enjoyed fish and chips on the Thames several times.
Living the dream 😊 makes me homesick, a welsh man living in Sweden.
Pretty damn amazing 😮, I’d never even consider Fish and Chips out in the field, but here you are, showing us all up 😊
I don't think you could do it if you were camping out, imagine the weight of that cast iron pot and the cooking oil, plus your camping equipment.
Simon, one of the reasons I so like your channel is how you show without fuss and 'preaching' how to carefully and safely cool down and clean up the remains of your camp/cook fires. It just follows as a natural part of the process of looking after the lovely places you visit.
This is my favourite kind of cooking. Simple, no frills, and just proves that you don't need a huge kitchen crammed with top of the line appliances to make quality food. :D.
....thank you mate. I now know how to do fish, chips & mushy peas. 😎👍🍻
“Where there’s an opportunity make something with beer in it, I’m going with it.” I’ll drink to that! Cheers!!!
straight out of the gate smile on your face for classic fish and chips it means something
When an Englishman is cooking Fish and Chips in the woods on fire! You know its good!!
Remember how chippy chips used to look, that was gorgeous.
Fish chips mushy peas cooked on an open wood fire. Food of the gods 😋👍
Freshly cooked fish and chips out in the open,the chips looked perfect,absolutely spot on,cheers Simon.👍👌💥
" No beer was wasted in the making of this video". Ok, I made that up but it feels true. Oh, no teenager to foist the cast iron off on. Plus the weight of the oil and beers! Super man!!!!!!!!!
You were so happy, I felt happy watching. Viewed an oldie yesterday: Simon working his way through a 24-hour ration pack. We were all laughing out loud, here down under. You are great company Simon, and a super-talented bushcraftsman. Oh, and thanks for the recipes.
Bloody hell, a portion fit for a King Simon, by God that liked good. Your a joy to watch mate.
what an inspiration! I bet my husband would LOVE that for supper one night this week. Needed this wonderful content this afternoon to save me from the mind numbing boredom of keyboarding and answering pointless questions all day long! Thank you for sharing. Content was superb, as always! Take care and be safe out there! 🧡🧡👍👍😊😊🙏🙏
That satisfying smile after the chip said it all 😋😋🙌🙌👍👍
Scottish but live in the US and this video brought back so many great memories camping up the north of Scotland and stopping later for the best fish n chips….thank you! ♥️⛺️🍃
You, Sir, are a culinary genius! 😋🤣👍
Eating sumptuously in a primitive/camping situation? Hard to believe until seen. I admire your leave-no-trace-camping ethic. Another great video. Thanks again.
Watching in bed, full of curry, thinking " I could just eat that". Nice one !!!!😊
Simon I’ve just had a full dinner and after washing this you’re fish and chips I’m hungry again
beer battered fish and chips, yum, yum ,yum .
Had a Fish n Chip shop many years ago. Total respect for your camp catering version, absolutely first class.
Nowadays instead of Adnams bitter (which I do like) I think I will try the batter with their Ghost Ship. Them Citria Hops might impart a nice lemony flavour.
Holy moly man youve really got my taste buds going. Steve
The only thing I dislike about your videos is…I have already watched all of them.
How is that possible when he keeps making new ones?
I just imagine the woodland critters "Oy, he's at it again. We're gonna eat good again when he's away!"
😂😂 I swear there are more animals about in that woodland every time I go!
I'm sure glad that the time difference means that these videos are posted during my lunch break; otherwise, I'd be thinking of running over to the local fish and chips place (which is fantastic) all afternoon.
I wish I could fish and prepare something like that on our upcoming 50 mile canoe trip. Yum!
DADGUMM, SIMON, WELL DONE…thanks for sharing…from east Tennessee.
Fish n chips in the woods!!!! Witch craft I say ♥️🍺🍺♥️
That looks great! But one of the best things about coastal path walks is finding a good pub serving fish n chips at the end of the day. Feels like luxury!
two words you mentioned .." Oh yes"...says it all for me and....well done I SAY !
I can always tell how good Simons cooking is when he takes his first mouthful of gives a verdict with a "mmmmmm".....the longer the "mmmmm" the better the taste is, and that certainly looked delicious, and my mouth was watering for sure. Great episode as usual.
Hahaha - yes, that was a long mmmmm 😁
Mouth watering watching you eat the beer battered fish!
Ah, Simon - the pinky sticking out just shows your classy side! LOL can you imagine mate some fox coming along through the woods and wondering about smelling fish that far from the sea? thanks for sharing
Thanks Simon! I needed a video like that after a stressful week at work. Even more so since I just realised it's only Wednesday!
Love all your videos, the camera work, lighting, filming, editing, sound are so solid. Its amazing to me that you pull this off so consistently. A joy to watch. All that said, this one is a reminder to me about why I don't deep fry at home, much less while camping. So much oil, so much mess--I'll leave it to the professionals, thank you! But, you be you, Simon!
Thank you!
Hey Simon, from our family to yours... we are sorry to hear about Maggie. the hard part of having dogs and its never easy so we are with you brother!
Also caught some of your videos with Kent and the one or one you took your boy along... that was a nice little adventure with Thomas and Maggie... good for you man!
Cheers, State Side Salty!
You have just made my wife and I very hungry. I must do that in the woods behind our house. Thanks for making the video it’s fantastic. Alex
You do realise that you have raised the bar exponentially with this one Simon....my Mrs will never again settle for a tin of beans n sausage or a pot noodle when camping....😢❤😂😂
Oh, wow, Simon! Well done, sir!!
Simon that fish and chip meal looks amazing and so darn delicious. It also has a great presentation with the mushy peas and tartar sauce. Thank you for sharing Simon!
Fair play Simon your cooking in the woods is something else .I couldn't cook that in a kitchen 😂😂
Love fish and chips! HHH stands for hurry, hurry, hurry!
I love fish & chips. Never thought to make the dish in the woods, or out camping. Great video, Simon
Fish and chips sound great. I do not have those, but what I do have is popcorn and a good imagination.👍
Spun steel, enough said. You gotta give the Aussies their due. Excellent as usual, plus an engaging host.
Wow! my mouths watering. That looked gorgeous
I usually give a thumbs up at the end of the video, but this one gets it immediately after reading the Description 😋 🤤 👍
Well Done! Video certainly lived up to my expectations after reading Description. Hadn't heard of mushy peas and was surprised to learn they come that way from a can. 😄
Nice job on clean-up too 👍
Fish and chips!! One of my favorite meals. Another great day outdoors.
Great looking fish and chips, Simon. Thanks.
OOOOHH YES... ALL READY FOR GOOD FRIDAY .. FISH AND CHIPS 😋
That fish & chips looked incredible.
Greetings, Simon, from Kentucky! It's always a pleasure to enjoy a moment with you via video - Here, I finally got back to the woods to visit our Spring ephemirals - glad you won't have to do any more snow camps for a while - those looked brutal! Cheers!
My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE meal of all time.
Hi Simon 😊, wow fish and chips twice, whith extras, you certainly excelled yourself in this one, and no pesky seagulls trying to steal it lol. Thanks for another great video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Just in time for my lunch break! Thanks , as always, Simon for making this amazing content!
Mmm what a treat! It’s made me hungry watching it, craving chips and thirsty for a few jars of Adnams to help it go down ..deep fat frying in the woods - who’d have thought!
Yes bro! 💚 Can't wait for our woodland grub in a couple of weeks!
Me neither matey! 😁
@@simonablokeinthewoods should have sent me the left overs of the chips lol
I made fish and chips for dinner tonight, and used your recipe. Turned out perfect! I used an Irish ale, which gave the batter a nice dark color.
Well I'd not thought of doing this in my dutch oven, but now I've seen this I'm definitely trying it! Nice one.
Thank you for another great video. Great to see you completely clear up the site after you have finished your video. I’ll have to try the batter.
Thank you, Simon, for this great hike and cook video. And you are so right - the beer is important (on many levels!). Great to see you again! Best!
This is a super fantastic outdoor RUclips channel on RUclips and this is a fantastic king of real outdoors and 🎉
Excellent Video Simon !! Camp side Lunch of Fish Chips looks Amazing.
I love your rucksack, it's like the tardis.
Ain't nature brilliant? BRRRRILLIANT
I COULD eat that several times a week...but I SHOULD eat it only once a year. Smashing!
Looked like a monster portion, but very delicious at the same time. I rarely have fish and chips, but when I do I love it.
After the mmmmm o yes, that was what is known in our house as a pudding smile.
Simon, pleased to see you back with (our opinion) your best stuff. Beautiful, thanks. J&A&B&T
I just watched another channel and that guy visiting London paid £22.50 for virtually this same meal, can you believe. Fish £10.50. Chips £3. Curry sauce £1.90. Peas £1.90. Free tartar sauce. £2.50 service charge. £2.70 drink. VAT etc. It was robbery. I was surprised you did the whole process. Great vid, Simon.👍
Finally...some proper fish and chips 😋
What a great looking meal! YUM! Thanks for sharing again today!
That looked amazing Simon. You’ve inspired me to cook my own fish in the same way. I’m definitely going to try it 🔥 🏕
HHH, hot hot hot , when the thermometer cant take it anymore , good one Simon ! 😂
A mouth watering episode, well done mate.
I was just reminiscing a couple days ago about a restaurant they had when I was a kid: Arthur Treacher's. Then I fing a video on making real British fish & chips. Awesome!
Thank you Simon for the effort you take in making these videos. Just making fish and chips sounds simple and mundane in a kitchen. Taking it into the field just brings cooking posibilities into another dimension. It simply brings joy to the watcher! I could even smell the fish cooking. Please keep up your good and uplifting excursions!
Good effort Simon, black pepper a must with mushy’s 👍
Fantastic! I'm sorry, I just licked my computer screen before I could help myself. A good dose of Sally Goodin to boot. Great video, Simon.
Mmmm you bugger!!! Fish and chips mmmmm yum yum!!!
I needed this today. Thank you.
Utterly brilliant. I do love bushcraft food videos. Looked great.
Great video Simon that looked amazing and washed down with a great beer
Love it 👍🏽
Another banger king thank you
Idea for a television programme.....A Partridge in the woods
That looked delicious ❤
Absolutely banging!
Beautiful!
My word, I'm hungry now Simon, that looked bloody lovely! Chapeau!
Ahhhh yes, I need this…..again!
That looked fantastic Simon . I hark back to the good ( not for the health though) days when we used to have a chip pan in the house , then came the oven chips 🥺 the air fryer is a slight recent improvement .
