"Real vinegar comes from wine. Or something..." lol Always nice to hear people knowing exactly what they're talking about. if they're using pre-bought vinegar, you can be sure that they're using pre-bought batter mix as well and have little idea about what it contains or how to make it from scratch...
I remember when I was a kid my fish & chips or potato scallops were wrapped in newspaper. Tasted great. Don't know how healthy that was but what lovely memories.
the other reason for eating fish n chips on a friday is because thats when you got paid, in the north west uk, we call it a chippy tea, some people take plates to have their meal put on, when you go into the chippy, you hand them the plates and they put them to warm in the display.
It's a pitty he didn't tell us if he uses Beef dripping or the synthetic oils, they seem to use these days. It's hard to find an authentic chippy. As one of the commenters suggest, Whitby and Scotland still use Beef dripping, which is the old way and by far the best tasting.
I oh so miss UK fish and chips!! Last time I had any was in 1975 when I was stationed in Holy Lock, Scotland. The fish and chips were wrapped in newspaper and I used to think that it was the ink that made them taste so good. lol I cannot find anywhere in the US fish and chips that come close to any I've had in the UK. :
The point about fish and chips - which no one seems to understand - is that it was Britain's first fast-food. With railways it was possible for fish to be delivered fresh anywhere in the country. The method of cooking used isn't easy at home so 99 percent of fish and chips is bought from shops. It was popular because it's filling.
I can remember the last coal fired fish n chip shop in the north east, 40 years ago, they were superb. Love fish n chips, but think they are a bit cheeky with the price of chips, anybody else agree?
Prices are always going up these days, last large cod and chips i had was £8 with a fanta! That was in Newcastle under Lyme so nowhere near London but it might as well have been by the price!
Beamish museum is prob only place to get a coal lit fire chippy now in the north east...shame really everywhere is frozen horrible chips what are over priced and have no flavour
i prefer to have the vinegar sprinkled first that way the salt stick to the food rather than just fall off, this is why i always put ketchup on my fires first before i sprinkle with salt so it adheres otherwise it's just falling to the bottom of the plate and same for the fish , this also reminded me of my trips to cuba where i would roll my eyes in disappointment when the bartender made was putting my coke in the glass first then pouring in the rum which would then float on the top instead of the rum first then the coke so as to properly mix
I like mine with peas and gravy, but it is nice to see he is using Cod, as the last time I bought that at a premium price , it was Pollack and not in the same league. Years ago they used to sell a cutlet of Hake which was more expensive but nicer with a Tri -bone in the middle, but sadly have not seen that for years.
Not impressed that he got frozen cod, clearly that's about convenience for him, but fish tastes soo much better fresh, there's no doubt about it, and the chippies use fresh fish.
I'm so glad you know your fish n' chips. Never had em in England yet, but I can taste it through the computer screen. Deliscious. Please don't be mad at me for my spelling of D E L?
The taste between fresh and frozen at sea is indiscernible. A lot of the time fos is actually better quality because "fresh" fish takes so long from boat to plate
AlbanZap frozen fish and veg using modern flash freezing techniques makes the taste between the two negligible and the vitamin content almost the same but its fried !!so who cares, before refrigeration they used a lot of salt yuk!! then freezing or using ice which produced freezer burn not all of us live near the sea and can avail of fresh fish just remember you get what you pay for and I have been in a few kitchens in takeaways would put you off, frozen fish is the least of your worries
AlbanZap 0141223 .well...given I cant speak for *all around* but I live in Austin, TX, which is pretty far inland, "fresh" for me has been out of water at 'least' 24 hrs, I actually prefer flash frozen as it is actually 'fresher'
Yes and I defy any of the nay sayers on this post to tell the difference between fresh and factory ship fish which is frozen in minutes after being hauled aboard. Also the 'fresh' fish you're all ranting about has more often than not been packed in ice for at least three weeks before being landed in Grimsby, Hull, or wherever still exists as a fishing port.
It would have taken 2 seconds to explain what the batter mix is, the type and temperature of the oil!! Also you could have shown how the chips are made!!!!!!!!
In terms of what I like to put on my fish and chips, it's all about salt, ketchup (fries only), tartar sauce (fish only), and malt vinegar. The vinegar is key. It HAS to be malt vinegar. Accept no substitutes.
I also like to immedaitely salt the fish and fries just after frying and at a good, golden brown color and use a malt vinegar, lemons good too which I also like in my chowder
Why do they thaw out the chips before cooking and it's something I've noticed they do in Australia too ? Quality chips are always taken frozen and straight into hot oil or they become soggy and absorb the oil. Never allowed to thaw out over cookers
Nobody using fresh potatoes, as he said, Maris Pipers, is going to freeze them unless there's been a miscalculation in stock control. There's nothing wrong , whatsoever in freezing freshly blanched chips. Defrost and fry.
No, in the u.s. they dont often make them as longer fillets, or have mushy peas. I do like clam chowder with it tho'!! (Maybe I could try split pea soup sometime tho' :P ) I understand the original u.k. recipe used a dark brew for the batter.
In reply to comment from New Zealand.. We don't cook our fish in advance and put it in a warmer at Cowbridge Fishbar, all our fish is cooked fresh to order. In our opinion it makes a difference sufficient to be worth the wait.
He did the salt and vinegar wrong its always vinegar then salt so the salt sticks to the chips becuse if you do the vinegar last it washes the salt off
Unfortunately I dont think the US will ever get true British fish and chips that taste exactly like the stuff here in the UK. The people who can make the real deal are always the down to earth, working men who have no interest in moving to other countries and just want to feed other working men good snap! All the videos of Brits making fish and chips in the US that i've seen on RUclips are of pretentious hipster Brits who probably got their fish and chips from the expensive side of London as kids! Come to Britain and go get some proper snap from a proper chippie!
When i was kid, the adults got fish, us kids got a Savoloy...... BUT now as an adult, I enjoy trying fish and chips from all over the Plaice( pun intended). For me its the best take-away, as long as its from a shop that really does think of the end result, Quality over quantity. For me, i would LOVE to sea(another intented pun) more sustainable fish on offer, for instance Pollack has a great meaty fish texture like Cod &Hoki. But my point is, if your not LOVING your Fish and Chip supper, You need to explain why? If you dont, how will they know, they are NOT mind readers. Support your local Chippies, especially NOW more than ever, For them great feed back in this day and age, means new customers. Being able to say hey "chippie" that meal was amazing, Just as a suggesion, a slice of Lemon would of been the icing on that fish, or, Having Whole Roticery Chicken twice a week would be amazing!............... Opps sorry @Seafish I was rambling on a bit there. Just to end i would advise, ALL tourist, for a great British Fish and Chips, Go to a Proper Fish and Chip shop, NOT a fast food shop or a Kebab shop, as they are usually pre cooked battered fish and french fries. We NEVER have french fries, if they are on the menu, look to another shop. Happy GOOD fish and chip shop hunting oxooxoxoxo
Just for couple of Quids , you get the best fish & ships , how can I ever forget the shop at the Green street , Upton Park , East London, lots of salt and vinegar on the top , yummy
in New Zealand, we cook to order, so it's different to see them cooking they're fish ahead of time and having it stored in a warmer. i'm not saying it's bad, not at all, it's just i've never seen that style until i started watching how the Brits do it. i'd love to travel to the UK to taste the original style chippy, i'm sure it'll be damn good.
He clearly stated it was on Friday, the busiest day for selling fish and chips. In my day we would always start the teatime session with around 30 or 40 fish cooked and the crowd would come in immediately the door was unlocked.They would be served by several experienced staff in flash time.This gave you a kick start and enable the fish fryers to stay on top of things. When you have a queue around the shop and out of the door they are not going to wait for individual service, it would take hours.We would cook to order after things had quietened down. Modern, infra red , fish displays are excellent and don't allow fish to dry out or go soggy.
Fresh Frozen fish is a much healthier choice today, unless you are able to go from actual water to fryer on same day. Most trawlers are a week at sea before they unload. 🤔
I remember back in day there was a plain paper layer and newspaper on outside to keep warm was best but pure newspaper was a bit silly and unhygienic I think! That’s what I didn’t like about old days chips!
Rami Gold No you didn't, they always put the fish and chips in white paper and a piece of greaseproof, then it's wrapped in newspaper, the news print never touches the fish n chips.
Eating fish and chips in the UK ruined me for fish and fries everywhere else. Often I’ll see fish and chips on a menu here in the US and I’ll order some hoping that it’ll come close to what I had in Oban and Edinburgh. Sad to say but nothing comes close. So unless I travel back to the UK, I guess I’ll have to learn to make my own. Darlington, South Carolina USA
I bought fish and chips from street venders in London, the fish seemed more boiled or baked and the fries were not crunchy, vinegar and oil is used, I looked at all of the fish and cips videos on you tube and have not seen anything like it but I thought the street venders was better.
The fish and chips I had in London, was bought from a street vendor using a push cart, he had a sign fish and chips. it was fish that looked and tasted baked with no coating and the chips were potatoes that were fried but quite oily not crisp. this was in 1958, when Wimpys, Teddy Boys and Broasted Chicken were quite popular. The food all tasted good. I am not a food critic just a foreign soldier visiting London.
ian griffiths ok..so they do use it then...I am a commercial fisherman on the east coast ..USA...i have tried cooking it and I really can not see how it would work...it is pretty bla....Is there a way you know that they prepare it..is it soaked in milk or something !?
Halo England. I'm just a Yank, though I am very impressed by your LightNiks. I am trying to get something straitway on the up and up with The LightNik Movement here in The United States of America. Please send any willing ready and able LightNiks on Holiday in the States. P.S. Please also remember the fish n' chips
Cod? Sustainably fished? Not in the Northern Atlantic. Sadly. I always thought cod had too much moisture in it for fish and chips. When I used to use cod it would release too much moisture and make a soggy blanket of my crispy batter. I use halibut now.
Beauty xxxx they look perfect golden crispy batter on fish .... decent potato .... there's nothing worse than a chippy that under cooks the chips and there's no taste ... the chips and the fish look too pale and don't taste ... Is there a reason for this ?
When adding salt before the vinegar the subsequent addition of vinegar will take the salt and cover the underlying product. A few stabs of a skewer or any hygienic pointed instrument will allow the steam to escape. The fish fryer is not great, his oil, a very important part of the cooking process, is dirty and has other products cooking in it before he added the fish which was not completely floured which is also very important.
@@TheBlueruss16 well the way i figure it is if you put salt on the dry batter it will not stick and fall off so better to put your sauce first then salt,same thing on fries with ketchup, I always salt mine after the ketchup because most of the salt falls through if put on fries coming out the fryer even though youd think the oil should make the salt stick but if its properly fried and not soggy it wont stick to well
+shaa jaa I know. People say it's such a simply dish and nothing special but trust me when you tried fish and chips outside the UK it's just never the same.
+Michelle Henderson i know exactly what you mean. I know many people from other countries who say they heard about british fish n chips and they always wanted to know what the fuss was about and believe me when they try it in this country for the first time they become hooked. Nobody does fish n chips better than us!
+shaa jaa Didn't think I will miss because it's just something so easy to come by. lol. I'm actually craving some right now...because I am in Asia it's even harder to find proper one, just miss comfort food. Getting chips after school with a mate...the memories!
I think the reviewer at the end was being ambiguous when he described the taste as "beyond description". He probably didn't appreciate the huge dumping of salt.
i rather my home made fish n chips any day .all the fish shops in my area are horrible and i dont understand how people can eat the food ? honestly its bad . maybe some people eat it so often that they dont know how bad the food is ? everytime ive tryed the local fish shops its ended up in the bin i always stick to my own cooking now nomatter how tierd i am

The taste and the fact it fills you up and keeps you full.
Be sure to turn your volume down significantly right before 3:16. Volume goes up like crazy there.
It's a pitty he didn't tell us if he uses Beef dripping or the synthetic oils, they seem to use these days. It's hard to find an authentic chippy. As one of the commenters suggest, Whitby and Scotland still use Beef dripping, which is the old way and by far the best tasting.
I agree, but it is very smoky, and hard to secure at a fair price.
Lard or dripping tastes like shit and contaminates the flavout of the chips and stinks. I never buy if it's cooked in fat

a lot of cardiff fish shops recook chips from nite before

Apparently it's not particularly nice nor tasty mate-

Perfect food , and delicious , plus you can get it to go . I visited your country it was my favorite meal . Don't forget the malt vinegar .
nothing beats good old fish and chips wrapped in used news paper as I grew up in Wales england

I do need to remember that every so often my friend.
Miss that in Canada. They do have it but does not taste the same.Love me fish and chips. Thanks.
are you in toronto? if so have you ever tried high street fish n chips?
Why do they thaw out the chips before cooking and it's something I've noticed they do in Australia too ?
Quality chips are always taken frozen and straight into hot oil or they become soggy and absorb the oil. Never allowed to thaw out over cookers
Expert now are we? I was a chef we used to thaw our chips and the used to come out perfectly crisp and virtually grease free

is that car oil or cooking oil

HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR BATTER?
frying sausage with the fish?
In the uk it is a requirement to have one fryer just for fish. It is a safety precaution in case someone has an allergy to fish.
batter YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not cornmeal
When i was kid, the adults got fish, us kids got a Savoloy...... BUT now as an adult, I enjoy trying fish and chips from all over the Plaice( pun intended). For me its the best take-away, as long as its from a shop that really does think of the end result, Quality over quantity.

when I was growing up a bag of chips for 60p wrapped in newspaper those were the days
When I was growing up Fish & Chips was 1s6d (7.5p). The fish was a bob (5p) and cips were a tanner(2.5p). 😉
I wish they would develop Star Trek style transporters so I could pop over there from Australia for that fantastic looking fish and chips

I had my fish and chips wrapped in news print once, actually it was the joke pages. The food ended up tasting funny.
I had some wrapped in the Daily Mail once. After I finished it, I suddenly started screaming, " *OH, IF ONLY DIANA WERE HERE!* "

jimmy s it’s a joke 🤦♂️
Rami Gold I had my chips wrapped in page three of the sun,I felt like a right tit..
holly cow that looks really good even with a bunch of salt like that.
This is one of the reasons why I could never leave the UK....no one does chippy like us and Id likely go into withdrawl from the amount I eat :)

The fish fryer is not great, his oil, a very important part of the cooking process, is dirty and has other products cooking in it before he added the fish which was not completely floured which is also very important.
@@TheBlueruss16 well the way i figure it is if you put salt on the dry batter it will not stick and fall off so better to put your sauce first then salt,same thing on fries with ketchup, I always salt mine after the ketchup because most of the salt falls through if put on fries coming out the fryer even though youd think the oil should make the salt stick but if its properly fried and not soggy it wont stick to well

2018 southern Poland. People still don't eat meat on friday. Only fishes. Still catholic traditions.
I moved out of UK and never thought I would miss it but I do. weird but there's no better place to get them than the UK. lol.
noone does fish and chips better than the british!
+shaa jaa I know. People say it's such a simply dish and nothing special but trust me when you tried fish and chips outside the UK it's just never the same.
+Michelle Henderson i know exactly what you mean. I know many people from other countries who say they heard about british fish n chips and they always wanted to know what the fuss was about and believe me when they try it in this country for the first time they become hooked. Nobody does fish n chips better than us!
+shaa jaa Didn't think I will miss because it's just something so easy to come by. lol. I'm actually craving some right now...because I am in Asia it's even harder to find proper one, just miss comfort food. Getting chips after school with a mate...the memories!
I think the reviewer at the end was being ambiguous when he described the taste as "beyond description". He probably didn't appreciate the huge dumping of salt.
i rather my home made fish n chips any day .all the fish shops in my area are horrible and i dont understand how people can eat the food ? honestly its bad . maybe some people eat it so often that they dont know how bad the food is ? everytime ive tryed the local fish shops its ended up in the bin i always stick to my own cooking now nomatter how tierd i am
Surely those sausages frying with the fish won't taste right???
You bet your butt they will!
yummy...I missed this...
That's me local chippy
He's like a cross between Marco Pierre White and David Brent.
