British Fish and Chips - The Traditional Way or The Queen's Way? - Part 1

It's Britain's most famous dish. Fish and Chips! I'm sharing my recipe that I cooked for the palace staff and then in part II The Queen's fish and chips recipe, a little more fancy! Fish and Chips was on the menu every Friday lunch at the palace and we cook for several hundred staff. Even the chefs looked forward to Fish and Chips Friday.
You can enjoy fish and chips with tartar sauce (though in classical French cuisine that would only be served with breaded fish) or ketchup. My favorite is 'ladling' Salad Cream on the chips with Malt Vinegar and HP Sauce mixed with a little Malt Vinegar to make a sauce similar to the one they serve on the fish in Scotland. Here's a link to them if you can't find them at your local grocery store. They aren't expensive and really add to the dish!...

Ultimately, the quality of the fish and chips depends on one thing and one thing only. It's the quality of the newspaer and ink that they're wrapped in. I always insist on The News of the World. It's definitely the ink that adds that je ne sai quoi.

From 2004-2007, I was an American expat student studying in London. I was living in university halls. Every morning, they had the full English breakfast. Every morning I had the full English breakfast before walking across central London from my hall in Bloomsbury to London Bridge where my campus was (King's College London, Guy's Hospital campus). Every time I return to the UK, I make sure to have this every morning. Here in the US I really miss having an English breakfast. If only I could find the authentic ingredients in a shop near me, I would be frying this up as often as possible. This brings back wonderful memories. I am yearning to move back to the UK, and when I do, I will fry this up as often as I can.

Dear Sir..As a professional horticulturist (I'm now retired!) You are SO VERY correct about using the "Yukon Gold" potato variety for French fries,baked potatoes and anything other than probably potato salad maybe- which I personally love the red jackets for (and for stews too when they are golf ball size or less)...Yukon Gold has an excellence of flavor that is a stand out and rich,creamy and delicious! Edit: I simply can't eat F&C without malt vinegar or tartar sauce...

That looks amazing. During Lent, a lot of churches in my area do a Friday fish fry, everyone welcome. A bunch of grandmothers in the kitchen, making excellent fried fish and a variety of side dishes. They've been doing it for decades, so they know their stuff. Lovely big pieces of battered cod or haddock. Most places always sell out. In the summer, the men take over and do Saturday chicken barbecues. Equally as good.

@MissHellybaybee Год назад

I met an African lady once who hadn’t been in England long and she was discussing fish and chips with her friend and she was horrified that we took this lovely piece of fish and covered it in batter. If you come over here you should try it though, it cooks the fish nice and evenly and it stays moist. Traditionally it was for manual workers who would break the batter and eat the fish inside (because their hand were dirty) but people just tend to eat the whole thing these days.

First and foremost I would like to say, it's an absolute pleasure watching you Darren, and I could listen to your antidotes endlessly. I LOVE making fried fish, especially a good beer battered cod like you did. I find it especially interesting you said that this was a big thing for Fridays. I was born and raised in the midwestern United States and "friday fishfrys" are a HUGE thing here, can't find a single pub, bar or restaurant that doesnt do it here. I was led to believe that this is a regional thing, so I'm surprised to hear this is a UK thing too.

@TheScouseassassin Год назад

It's a religious belief, Cristian, and Catholics especially. Jesus laid down his life on a friday so the Vatican 🙄 decided no meat from warm blooded animals should be eaten on fridays, but fish are considered cold blooded, hence fish on fridays! Absolute bloody nonsense as usual. Personally I eat meat anytime I feel like it, same with fish, but of course on Good Friday we should give a nod to the son of Cod - sorry, God 🤣🍽

All those Scratchings as you drop the fish in was a dinner time favourite sprinkled on the chips and Dabs. I lived in a Chip shop that fed numerous factories in a staggered lunch hour. Up early in the morning to get the spuds in the machine, the fish would turn up around 9 am from the docks, and my Father would be portioning for the next few hours. Peas soaking overnight and as fast as the spuds where peeled they where chopped in a machine and blanched within the hour after a soak. The pie man was a favourite as I could scoff a quick pie as I unpacked them and all still warm as cooked fresh early in the morning. I can't remember what year it was when I saw my first overweight person, but it was years after we moved away. We had a selection of plates and a twenty inch cod was a regular order. My Father wouldn't call any local chip shops fit to call themselves that, as nobody blanches chips anymore and the midget Fish is buried in hods of batter. Chips used to be 6d or a shilling and came in a greaseproof pouch wrapped in White paper and then Newspaper if they where taking it far. The portion size has increased alarmingly along with the price, but most of the chips you get now my father would have fed to the pigs.

Was so fortunate to live in a tiny fishing village in Fife, we had an excellent fish and chip shop there. Now I’m in the Canadian Rockies and can’t find anything like it. Thank you for sharing all these wonderful tips so now I can make my own!

Just made this tonight with some fish we're still trying to figure out what it is (very similar to Cod, caught by a friend locally). Let me just tell you that I closed my eyes, took a bite out of the crunchy fish and I felt as if I was by the Thames having just bought this off the street. It was so damn delicious. Such a simple recipe yet so rewarding. Thank you again for making this video, looking forward to making more of your awesome royal recipes.

I have been making my own "chips" for over 50 years and tried many varieties of potatoes. I have found that Yukon Golds are the best. They have the right amount of sugar resulting in a nice golden brown "chip". So, I agree with your recommendation.

Whenever I see people on TV making fish and chips they always talk about crispy chips, but my experience of proper chip shop chips is that they're soft and that's the way I like them.

@s99bf0c8 4 года назад

Thanks it's nice to know I'm not crazy! Chippy chips should be mostly soft

@zombieapocolipse69 4 года назад

Soft, but the edges and tips just a tiny bit crispy

@merlinmediagroup 3 года назад

@@s99bf0c8 Yep drenched in vinegar. So many of my local chippers don't drain the oil away adequately so the chips end up smothered in grease - very unpleasant. For me, the chips are made soggy by the addition of vinegar, not oil.

@themocaw 3 года назад

Maybe that's the proper way, but the best way is a shatteringly crisp outside and a nearly fluffy inside

@TheDoosh79 3 года назад

@@s99bf0c8 That's because in most chippys you were getting chips from yesterday or lunch time, fresh chips should have a nice crisp to them. Soggy chips are just wrong.

I like fish and chips. Here in Canada I like cod with a good beer batter, I have a fondness for tartar sauce and always ketchup with the fries. Instead of mushy peas it is common to have coleslaw.

@beachbum4691 Год назад

In this Edu' video, I finally learned what blanching really means, and I learned both what a beer batter is and why beer is used. I don't have a fryer and will continue my habit of buying fish and chips perhaps twice a year from the beach café's, but that's just a generational thing.

I know this is an old video but you've brought back memories of the two best fish-n-chips experiences I've ever had: the first was in Whitby, at (I believe) Quayside. Fish, chips, mushy peas (which American I had never had), white bread, and tea. Fabulous. The second was in the living history town of Beamish. This was what looked like half a cod and a pound of potatoes, served in (blank) newsprint, which is very traditional of course, but the big secret was that it was cooked in beef tallow. Granted, my pulse slowed as my heart struggled to push the cholesterol through my poor veins, but I still dream of the taste. Thank you for the traditional recipe! Now on to The Queen's...

@AZFlyingCook 3 года назад

My friend's wife called them "pushy me's". I can get a fair approximation at a local Cornish Pasty restaurant here in Arizona but, I dunno if it's the ingredients or just the setting, they seem to be much better over there. I'm an odd one for being a foreigner who loves old-school British food. Pub grub and so forth. Or Nando's - good grief, the very best.
