I got THROWN OUT the WORST Fish & Chip Shop in BENIDORM so went back to the BEST! 

A British fish and chip shop called Dave's owner by Indians. That's all you need to know.

The reason why they didn't tell you where Dave was was because his name is Rodney not Dave 🤣🤣🤣

That's one to cross off the list when we come over. Their loss Lee. I give it a minus one.

Strictly speaking, you didn’t actually get thrown out of the first place, you were told that you couldn’t film there.

I reckon they have workers who should not be in Spain.

Lee listen up , it’s coming up to bonfire night so you need to try a malt vinegar soaking white onions , peeled and sliced cucumber , mint sauce mix , warm pork pie and mushy peas ! Absolute heaven Lee

He’s only “ Dave “ when he’s behind the counter , his real name is Mohammed .

I'm an Brit living in Spain . You were lucky you didn't eat at Daves chippy . I've been there and it wasn't nice at all .

This is the best fish and chips in Benidorm, well done Lee keep it up. What the bloke 👊🏾

You’re still missing out Lee - Get the curry sauce on yer fish!! Taste explosion 😮🤣👍🏻

Hubby was ill after getting food from there... and think Dave sold it on as it's all foreigners that serve you now...used to be English people...not anymore.....

Surely filming their food would give them more customers as other people would then try them. Ridiculous decision but their loss and you went to the best chippy in my opinion. Their bbq sauce is absolutely gorgeous. Me and my partner went there back in august and it was fantastic. Definitley worth the half an hour walk

They would not let you film? It's obvious - they are HALAL!

I’m a born and bred Australian who also spent 3 months touring England and Wales, sight seeing (amazing!) and trying your fish and chips and of course local hand-drawn beers. So my comments may be a little different, if not interesting! In Australia we think we have the best seafood in the World, and we may, however the battered fish in England is World class. You’ve been doing it for longer than we’ve been colonised by you guys after all! When we order fish and chips, we get battered or crumbed fish (fo you guys crumb (bread) fish? I prefer it!) hot chips with either salt or the most popular “chicken salt” (which nowdays has nothing to do with chicken- it is a seasoned salt), a wedge of lemon and hopefully some tartare sauce. But you guys put on a full spread! You turn one meal into a feast! Fish, chips, salt, vinegar, tartare, mushy peas, curry sauce and buttered bread! That’s like 3 different meals in Australia, so I was interested to see how you combined them all. We rarely offer mushy peas. Sometimes on a meat pie. But it’s not popular. Funny thing is I don’t like peas, but I absolutely LOVE mushy peas! I wish we were offered it more! We also never get buttered bread, or plain bread with fish and chips. To us that would be really weird. BUT we do put hot chips on buttered bread as a sandwich, so you guys doing that separate meal as part of fish and chips is pure genius! We also don’t put vinegar on our hot chips. Our best selling chips (crisps) could be salt and vinegar flavour, but for us, if we put liquid vinegar on hot chips it will make them soggy- as it showed while you ate them. There we differ because we love hot chips that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. A soggy chip in Australia goes to the seagulls or the bin. With your curry sauce, that’s an interesting one. Similarly we love gravy with our chips, but typically with a steak or Schnitzel. Gravy on chips with seafood would be weird to us. All in all, I think if we ordered those fish and chips here in Australia, firstly we wouldn’t know how to combine them but if we did it your way we would be blown away! Just hold the liquid vinegar on hot chips (that’s a crime deserving at least 2 years) and swap out the curry sauce for gravy, and for us it would be a winner. And more mushy peas please! Oh and drinks…. Typically British you drink a hot beverage of tea. In a cold climate I understand, but we’d have a beer with fish and chips every day! Thanks for your great review- it’s been educational and entertaining. You are quite the character! Ps I would definitely say that illegal Indian immigrants took over Dave’s chippy and are riding off his good name and serve out garbage. It happens here too, all to common. I know you were hinting it but couldn’t say it lol. A sign of the times unfortunately.

Davinder is a common Asian name usually Anglicised to Dave . We've got one running our corner shop .

"Trig, why do you keep calling me Dave, my names Rodney" "Oh.....you sure"? "Yes" "So what's Dave then? A nickname"?

I am confused Mac when you say excellent 'value for money'. At 16.50 that would be regarded as very expensive in the UK. Local chippy's here cost between £8-£9 for a massive portion of Fish and Chips and about a quid each for mushy peas and curry sauce. I thought Benidorm was cheap and cheerful. The most expensive sit down fish supper i have had was in Cromer in Norfolk at a very expensive £13.50.

When consuming this wondrous Faire, mon ami, I do hope that you take an instant to realize how truly blessed you are !

A bet that Dave is the same bloke who phone me from Microsoft about all the viruses I have.

I love a sandwich with just the mushy peas and red sauce. As for Daves chippy 🤔🤔🤔🤔always go with your gut instinct if something doesn't seem right it's probably not.

Dave's chippy, about as fresh as my work socks bud 😮

That fish and chips looked cracking, I think you dodged a bullet with Dave's!

Dave got thrown out!!......he was filming in the shop 😂😂

If they called it Ali's fish n chips maybe they would get less custom, I'd definitely avoid the place

We are in Tenerife, watching this at 22:00 my Mrs has just said " oh, my god, I need to make a red sauce sandwich" and we need to find fish and chips tomorrow 😂😂

Indians Fish and chips are the worst, Theres No dave doesn't exist. That's probably the reason they dont want you to film. Next time your in benidorm get takeout, It will be trash though. Great vid.

Chip shops with massive diversified menus always worry me. I prefer a fish & chip shop to just do fish/pie/sausage and chips. As my grandad used to say, you can do a bit of good, or produce a lot of crap. You can't do everything well.

Mushy peas are NOT garden peas mushed up.They are marrowfat peas

Get somebody to go into Dave’s chippy and get your order and review it outside his shop 👍🏼

The only reason you wouldn’t want someone to film is if your not confident in what you are supplying 🤨

Sorry but if a Chippy offers kebabs, curries and other "non-fish and chip" foods... then in all honesty it is NOT a Fish and Chip Shop! Head somewhere else! You should try putting a bit of mint sauce in with the peas... minted mushy peas!

I’ve just seen on the Benidorm enthusiast live and now I’m going to have to go to the Dave’s fish shop when I’m there next with iPhone in hand , I’ll let you know

That’s old school..chips and peas on a butty..boom..!!! Love it..😂👍

Great fun Lee. Anyone who wants to turn down advertisement to 100 thousand people are not very confident in what they have to offer

This video had 4.7k views in an hour. I’d say “Dave’s” just lost a lot of potential new customers. 😂 Too bad Dave or whoever owns that shop. Glad you moved on, I like Sara (or Sora) at Ray’s 2 a lot better anyway. Looks like a first class fish & chips shop! 👍🏻 to Iris, she clearly puts a big smile on your face. Greetings from The States. One more thing Lee, can you give Sara (or Sora) my number please? 😊

There is no Dave it's owned by a Muslim guy 😂

So no tables and chairs allowed outside the bars on the front. Seems odd decision in a sunny climate

Brightening up my day Lee, the weathers crap here 👍👍

Is Dave back home in Mumbai ?

Wow I am shocked. We went in there back in September and the staff asked us if we would post a like on facebook for them to promote the business. This is the best opportunity they could wish for free publicity???? The food was genuinely fantastic. Such a shame they are behaving like idiots.

A chippy that serves pizzas and indian food IS NOT a real chippy

Always remember, there are some places it's better to be thrown out of than thrown IN to.

If you went to daves chippy you would never have met that lovely couple, had a laugh and had those beautiful fish and chips at rays for the second time.....some things are meant to be macmaster!

Well, we all know what they say about places with great big menus in Benidorm, who won't let you film and say they are a chip shop and then sell pizzas............

Shocking lee being thrown out of a chippy! But rays 2 definitely worth a 2nd visit. And as for dave maybe his name is actually rodney😄 a 10+ my friend 👍

They probably know that the Spanish Tax Office watches RU-vid 😃

Vinegar first, then salt sticks, instead of being washed off! Or in your house do you paper the wall THEN apply wallpaper paste???

Dave's 0 Rays 2 10/10

Way back in the early 60's you could get a plate of peas and vinegar in our local pub every Friday for about a shilling ( 5 pence ) didn't need salt, just vinegar.

New drinking game, a shot everytime he says onwards

Definitely something to hide 😂😂 well done Rays again 👍👍

That place looks really clean and cared for. Beats me how any fish and chip shop can mess up some basic frying but many do manage to do just that. Where do they source their cod from as it isn't a common fish in the med?

You do tend to labour the point Mate

Wow! that fish and chips at Rays just looks so good, and the batter just looks the business. As for Dave's, maybe I would of just tried and get a takeaway, just to see what it was like. Their loss.

In the Wigan they ask are you putting on a plate when you get home if you say yea they out peas on the bottom fish then chips on top so when you put it on your plate it’s the right way up, not all of them but one in shevington Wigan 😅

Let's just say that you won't be seeing Dave around for a few months.... (He's gone to do a catering course in Aberdeen)

my local chip shop that i had been going to since the mid 70's was always a traditional chippy it got took over and they started selling kababs and all that stuff and the fish was oblong you could tell that it was pre packed rubbish never been again that was 10 years ago

Mansfield is getting its share of the flood waters. Good vlog as ever, thanks xx

Lee not everything is controversial, please stop saying things that aren't controversial!!

I am not English but I love fish and chips years ago I used to work in a fish and chips shop and I miss it a lot.

Tetley is not made at Taylors of Harrogate tetley is owned by tata the same people who own JLA

I went to Ray's 2 in September after watching Lee's original vlog. The batter WAS lovely, si were the chips and everything was good value for money. I would recommend too! Nice to see you vin there again. Went to Dave's Chippy a few times the first time we went to Benidorm in 2019. Last time we went (2022) it must have changed hands, as it wasn't so good, so didn't ho back this year.

Hmm you are right to be dubious. OK it is the owner's right to forbid filming on their property but their attitude wasn't welcoming at a very quiet time of day and their menu seems much too broad for it to be a decent quality joint, even by Benidorm standards. I love f & c but it is understandably difficult to find in UK now, very expensive and not super healthy for oldies like us! The close-ups of your meal had me salivating though.

I've often wondered why you don't put vinegar on your peas it's a must, from a Yorkshire lad

Dave doesn’t exist never has just tourists gimmick

Was there last Christmas. Lovely food. Will be back this Christmas!

I think the best clue is the word 'Halal' on the menu! Daves have just taken over our local chippy with disastrous results - quality down the u-bend, no clue how to fry fish or chips properly and a practically empty shop at tea-time opening .... pity.

Super Smashing Grate! RIP Jim! Look at what you could have won!

We stayed very near there and went in one evening (Dave's Chippy ) Good job you didn't go in Lee. It's absolutely crap

I think one of the secrets to that batter might be that they use ice cold carbonated water...

Asians should stick to kebabs and curry.

We used to go here up until a few years ago when the portion size was reduced but the price stayed the same. The same people run the chippy in the square where they provide for the drunken hoards till the early hours of the morning. You can’t beat Rays 2 where we are regulars 15 weeks of the year.

We’re there on Monday. We’ll take Dave’s off the list then. 😉

Looks gorgeous 10+ lots of salt no vinegar for me. We hope to go over next year , if jet2 stop all these silly prices but will give Dave's a wide berth. Ray's 2 here i come!

The batter didn't look that crispy to me, used to seeing all sorts of curled up crispiness. Lee you are famous being a drama queen. keep it up.

Stuff Dave. Next? Carry on.😎

They put Dave in the Indian 😂

Perhaps you should do a road trip to Benidorm in the Taycan ..double entertainment Lee 👍

That curry sauce looked smoother and silky-smooth even more than my wife.😂 shame on you dave FROZEN FISH

Perfect! Apart from the scraggy chips and a chipped ramekin for the curry sauce. Looked a solid 7 from me.

Jackie has got some lovely necklaces . . .

I get what your saying about a place that does kebabs and it does burgers pizzas and fish and chip stuff. Maybe jack of all trades master of none. But in Scotland there are many Italian chippys that as well as all the usual suppers do pizza's as well such as Enzo's in Bishopton, Luigis in Greenock to name two. And of course in Scotland all chippys do the deep fried pizza suppers. Those establishments to use the pun are a different kettle of fish. And can't be compared to the kebab one's.

Watched you on Lucy's live earlier Lee and so enjoying your Benidorm series.

Be careful youth the Benidorm mafia have a little finger in all those businesses you could soon be in batter or tied upside down on that cross 🤣

Its 6:45 on a Friday night and I'm hungry - thanks very much

Was in Dave's' 3 weeks ago. Opted for Sausage & chips which was good for the money. Especially remembered the lady serving as was friendly and polite. Gutted they wouldn't let you film in there.

Hhmm hiding something there I think 🤔

Good vlog as ever Lee, Rays 2 looked good 10/10. As to Daves not letting you film it's their business so their choice, not everyone wants to be filmed so their loss, so move on no need to go on about it & you weren't exactly thrown out you drama queen lol. Will be great to see you back in Tenerife next week 😀

Jim Bowen’s got nowt on Lee Davey. Ooo that Fish Supper looks delicious!

If I ever get to go to Benidorm that would be my first choice.had to give up work almost 3 years ago so money is hard to come by.

Well as for Dave's yes I can understand why they didn't want you to do a blog in their shop Jack of all trades master of none you made the best decision ❤

I’d give that a 10 that was top of the chippy very nice and clean inside.batter looks fantastic.

Well done for respecting the other chip shop and not filming 👍 you still got a good video out of it, just a different one from the one you were expecting.

looks super..but i never get they butter your bread bit,,,is that a british thing...because here in ireland that would not happen...you get bread and portions of butter

Went to Benidorm once, never again. A complete s#ithole, full of drunk Brits and concrete tower blocks. It’s like a rough council estate in the sun. Such a shame that the tourists and the tourist industry have ruined what was once upon a time a beautiful part of the coast line.

Has anyone seen Dave? That should become a meme 😆

A tale of two chippies . I am a well known established chippy. You cant refuse a gift horse can you. Please enter meet the staff, now into the kitchen, and see how clean, and how we produce the food, and where its sourced. Looking forward to You Tube and free Publicity , after all most of our cliental come from the UK, and would expect the best home from home. Would you like all the staff to be outside in a group, not forgetting to include the name of our pride and joy. I suspect, what’s in a name. A local furniture shop established in 1948, the owner retires, taken over by new owners but retained the shops name, a common practice, this may be the case with the first shop, so where is wally? Sorry I mean Dave.

The clue was HALAL Chicken, Lee!

In the first closeup shot of the fish and chips, they looked just perfect. The chips golden, the fish huge and the batter, cor! No need to keep going on about Dave's Chippy. You must have told us a dozen times that you got "thrown out", though actually you left of your own volition because Dave's ghost refused filming. Couple of points: I'm no fan of mushy peas. And it's not a race! Try eating a bit more slowly to really savour each bite. I'd give that meal 10 out of 10. Oh, just remembered: I've never had a chip butty.
