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 😂

@jonahtwhale1779 Год назад

Got to feel sorry for the wildlife in these localities. All those aromas but zero chance of enjoying the food!

Simon - your videos should be prescribed on the NHS to help folks deal with anxiety - they’re so calming!

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!

@craiglake6091 Год назад

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.

@dannyburrell4014 Год назад

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.

@stuartmccloud307 Год назад

Pretty damn amazing 😮, I’d never even consider Fish and Chips out in the field, but here you are, showing us all up 😊

@Christophers-Assorted-Stuff Год назад

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.

@ianmillar1139 Год назад

Hi Simon, I'm so sorry to hear about Maggie. All my best to yourself and your family. Stay strong my friend. 👊

@Hiltok Год назад

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.

@joanhuggett5164 Год назад

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.

@Roblovesbushcraft Год назад

Bloody hell, a portion fit for a King Simon, by God that liked good. Your a joy to watch mate.

@MrJC1 7 месяцев назад

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.

@lscblackwell9202 Год назад

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! 🧡🧡👍👍😊😊🙏🙏

When an Englishman is cooking Fish and Chips in the woods on fire! You know its good!!

@stephenbrooks1692 2 месяца назад

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

@baggrabb Год назад

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!

@simonablokeinthewoods Год назад

Thank you!

@vanessagodiin770 6 месяцев назад

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!

@mezebrowskigmail Год назад

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.

@damonmorgan-dk3hf Год назад

Fair play Simon your cooking in the woods is something else .I couldn't cook that in a kitchen 😂😂

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!

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!

@peterwatson6975 Год назад

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!

Fish and chips has long been one of my favorite meals. Beer battered cod. There's only one thing better on the planet. And you went all out. Tartar sauce, lemon and malt vinegar! That looked like a tartar sauce I could eat and enjoy. Here in the US, people want to dump sugar into everything. I hate that. I think I might steal your recipe. 😁
