I tried the Doctor Who Cookbook 

Maybe i'm the only one that doesn't mind fish fingers and custard?! I have eaten FAR worse lol! Hope you try it and if keen get hold of the book. Here's another cookbook corner recipe if you'd like to see more - the Ninja Turtle Pizza Cookbook (Mac and Cheese Pizza!) warning, it was gooooood ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pmfyjGSuoq8.html

When they filmed the TV episode with Matt Smith it was actually desiccated coconut rather than breadcrumbs because the appearance was similar but tasted better. The coconut crumb went around a simple Victoria sponge finger.

I think when they say Frozen Fish Finger, it just means the type of Fish Finger it was, since the scene in question, which is from Matt Smith's first episode, he pulls the box of Fish Fingers out the freezer, which is followed by us seeing him eating them with the custard, presumably cooking them first.

I tried this in primary school as I loved doctor who then. My dad worked on the Doctor who sound and while chatting with Matt smith he brought up that I tried the fish fingers and custard while in school! He wrote me a little letter that said “wow you ate fingers and custard! Your so cool!” With his signature! Honestly tasted pretty good !!!😂

"I know nothing, really, about Star Wars." 😂 Me either, Barry.

My mind is telling me the homemade fish fingers, but my wallet and bank balance is demanding the basic range store ones. 😁

As a Doctor Who fan who doesn't eat fish I've made my own fish fingers and custard as a dessert. Homemade shortbread fingers coated in Gingernut biscuit crumbs (stuck on with an egg wash) look remarkably like fish fingers. Served with normal custard though it has to be birds custard to get the authentic color!

‘I dont know a lot about star wars’ *talking about dr who*

You can tell mrs.b loves you because of the food she will try. Amazing . Love Boston's reaction.

That metal whisk on the pan is killing me 😂

For the breadcrumbs, they need to be dried in the oven, or use day-old stale real bread (so pre-dried!) to get them to whizz up nicely in a chopper into finer crumbs, cos when fresh, the bread just loves to clump up cos it's moist, everyone's favourite word... :P

I just know them as " Fish Sticks" (I'm American) I'm a Doctor Who fan from childhood, this book is intriguing and I want a copy.

If you do the frozen fish fingers in an air fryer they turn out crunchier than in the oven. Love cooking them that way.

Never thought I, an American, would have a greater nerd knowledge of Doctor Who than Barry, an Englishman 😂

Barry! Melt the butter first, then add the flour. Come on Mate! Other than that, good video as always. :)

I think that usually they toast the bread before whizzing it up because then it'd be harder and easier to make into a fine powder

You named your fryer after the name I suggested to you on Twitter and mentioned it on a recipe from my favorite show! I'm honored!

"Hello whenever in the world you are!" was right there!

Save the tardis cake for next year if you can Barry. it would suit the anniversary perfect.

Are galaxies a thing? I don't know anything about Star Wars, but I know about Daleks? It's good you're a great RU-vid cook.

Some of these recipies look so cool!! Great work Barry!!

I have been a fan since day one with the egg and toast, you've come so far, you are so amazing! Cheers from Utah!

New Doctor Who special this week, maybe a cookbook to match is in order...! Nice one, Barry.

I prefer battered fish fingers to breadcrumbs but that custard looks delicious. Weirdly, I love cauliflower cheese with my fish fingers.

If I'm not mistaken Barry; you made a "Roux" in that pan. Mixing flower, butter and milk.

Barry, two things: 1. Maybe a very lemony custard with no sugar could work nicely, what would that be, like a Hollandaise sauce? 2. May I recommend you get a silicone-covered whisk? I have one and use it with Teflon pot at much more ease, it's ideal for bechamel and things like that. Works like a charm! Love your content!

I'm a big fan of Dr Who so this book makes me so excited

I have this book!!! I love that you made this

A simple recipe and yet quintessentially british. Perfect to put that into the cookbook.

I am a really big fan of Dr Who & must get this book 📕 Thanks Barry n Mrs B 🤗

Tardis sound is my notification sound so all thru watching this I thought my phone was going off lol! Nice video

When my son was younger, we watched the episode with the fish fingers and custard. My son then insisted he had to try it. So we went to Walmart and got fish fingers, headed to the British section and got custard. We went home and got it ready. He dove into it and the look of disgust on his face. Lol. I didn't have the heart to say I told you so.

"Wherever you are in the word" - I appreciate the galaxy joke, but this would have been your chance to say "whenever you are"🤣

Fish finger? We call them fishsticks on the other side of the pond mate! But realtalk I miss those things, being on the other side of yet another pond at this point in my life.

I think the cod fish fingers and the cheap ones are made the same way but the cheap ones just use less popular white fish like pollock, which is probably a good thing since cod is not as plentiful. When they process fish for fish fingers, the skinned fillets are frozen into big rectangular blocks which are then sawn up into sticks while still frozen. So it's not paste, it's compressed layers of fillets. That's how they get them so perfect (plus I guess there's no waste) compared to the homemade goujon type.

The fish fingers weren't frozen in the sense that it was frozen while he was eating it, it was a frozen fish finger because it came out the freezer before Amelia cooked it.

Don't know much about star wars. Then remembers daleks 🤣🤣🤣 love the cross over they did

When I get frozen fish, I spray it - both sides - with oil before I bake, and use a convection oven. They come out fantastic. You can get frozen fish of various qualities, the cheap stuff can be pretty bad, but the more expensive frozen fish can be wonderful, like it was fresh.

When they filmed the scene with Matt smith they used a sponge stick coated in coconut and actual custard. Just a little Behind the scenes fact.

Barry..you need to wash (on a delicate, with a little softener...but your Help For Hero's scarf is beautiful 💜💜 I made a TARDIS cake for my nephew..he loved it & all his friends were amazed!! Now his friends have asked me to design all their cakes..ocean scene's (my fav & son's other fav cake is my ocean theme with octopus, Killer whale, crabs, seashells, with Palm trees 💜💚

THAT sauce looks amazing.. I don't eat the nostalgic fish fingers I have to make my own as we live out in the countryside in Spain and our shop does not sell fish fingers ..I'm definitely going to try that sauce ..thanks Barry x

I remember eating fish fingers and custard quite often for a while after watching that episode and all the times it showed up again

Yay I love Doctor who thank you 😊

Fish was cooked in the episode, Barry. Just the classic frozen fish fingers, cooked, and implied Bird's custard.

I just woke up (not feeling well so having a nap) and thought I was still dreaming when I saw fish fingers and custard 😂

If you love Back to the future you’ll love Dr who. Start with the Eccleston reboot . I made it to part way through Matt Smith then I tapered off but between those years it was TV gold

Don't worry, we all hid behind the sofa to watch Dr Who, as kids.

When I first saw the title I thought Barry was doing a collab with a doctor, who's testing a cookbook :P

Pour one out for Coolio. Well do I remember you doing fish fingers and custard back in the early days of Barshens, with Stuart Ashen and Anna Johnson. "You can take the girl out of the waitress, but you can't take the waitress out of the girl." Orson Welles would approve of this recipe. "Yes... oh YES! They're even better when you dip them in CUSTARD!" As for that cheese sauce, it's so frighteningly yellow that it looks more like mustard than custard.

I'll forever be envious of people that live in countries with ready access to fresh fish for a reasonable price.

The real fish fingers (made to look like bog standard frozen fish fingers) and custard seen on screen were 'fish fingers' made from coconut cake - and real custard. In that episode, (The Eleventh Hour) The Doctor tries lots of food, and hates all of it - it's a funny scene - seek it out on youtube, and at one point, he says to the little girl, into whose garden the TARDIS has crashed: "You're Scottish, fry something!" It's a little unfair, but it did make me laugh. Doctor Who. A British institution, and 60 years old next year. I've been slightly obsessed with it since 1968, when I was five. Still a fan. As I write this, I can see a shelf upon which are 50+ model Daleks, all different, several versions of the TARDIS, and all the Doctor's incarnations so far - there's only one Doctor, but he/she has many incarnations. I'm rather fond of fish fingers made of Hake, and also those made from Pollack. Cod has been seriously overfished in the past, and it's nice to let the newer guys have a go, and let the Cod have a rest, and build up numbers.

RIP Coolio, I feel like a piece of my childhood is gone.

Down here fish fingers are usually ocean salmon. But cod sounds great, have to try it. And your fish fingers look amazing, super fluffy and natural. Completely different from the industrial blocks.

Oh I hope you do the hunger Games cookbook because not only is it full of recipes considering how much the meals are described in the book but it also teaches you how to cook with meats you wouldn't normally think to cook with

It's only the cheapest fish finger that are made of mush, the others are just made from cheaper fish fillets, usually pollock. It'll say fillet on the on the box for the non-mush versions as they don't want you to mistake them for awful mush fingers.

That looks awesome! And I think that because we both like fish fingers in our house I might need to get a copy of the book (and try some of the other recipes too, of course). It'll be me only eating the cheese sauce though because my OH is such a picky eater - he won't eat custard either, which I found really strange at first!

Didn’t realize fish had fingers😂

I've seen people make their own breadcrumbs from actual sliced bread, and they either leave it out to intentionally go stale, or lightly toast it to just dry it out a bit before they smash it up in the food processor.

Fun fact about Barry: he literally had the opportunity to be an extra in a Dr. Who episode but was working

It honestly bugs me how expensive fish is in the U.K. considering we are an island!

Anyone else getting nothing but a "Your browser can't play this video" screen when trying to watch this video? What's worse is that there's no explanation, the "learn more" button just goes to a notification that my browser is supported and up to date. And not a single bit of information more than that.

Someone from the Britons that doesn't know everything about Dr Who?! Pure heresy! :) Loved the fish fingers and custard!

Lol, I am not trying custard and fish fingers, but I actually do like chips dipped in a chocolate milkshake or vanilla soft ice cream.

We've got that book but haven't made any of the recipes yet. I'll have to try that fish finger and custard one. We've already eaten the proper fish custard. If you want another book to try, how about Nanny Ogg's Cookbook? I made the Sheep's Eyes and the Quattro Rodenti. It helps if you know Discworld, but it's fun even if you don't.

There’s a Harry Potter cookbook that’s similar to that cookbook, like more fun and food replica of things like the quidditch pitch or a howler. Similar idea but still fun to flip through, oh and there is savoury and sweet recipes as well ☺️.

In Poland we also got Paluszki Rybne (Which just means Fish Fingers), they are the same as British ones, although here they are made mostly from pollock (I guess that's how this fish is called) instead of cod.

In doctors who it was a birds eye fish finger and cold custard you get in those little pots the doctor ate after getting out of the tardis

Fish Fingers & Custard my fave snack sooo yummy.

You could always try if you can get your hands on it the Babylon 5 cook book. it was a US scifi show that was amazing. I have tried some of the recipes in it and they all were pretty good.

i remember watching gladiators but most of all my friday nights while my granny watched emmerdale and all that i sat in my grandas room with him while we watched hercules, or xena the warrior princess, buffy the vampire slayer and or the simpsons, while eating jellybabies. he was a bit of a horror scify buff but also loved his westerns. we both used to watch scooby doo together and build lego. he was the dad i never had. i miss him sometimes but i'd never have him back the way he was at the end. in fact he laughed when i put my grannys grill on fire. he was quite the character.

Not surprised that the fish and custard taste ok together. It's that salty/sweet combo. Like McDonald's fries and a milkshake! 😋 😋 😋

RachhLoveLife has an air fryer called Fryer Tuck. Her husband named it. He even had a shirt made! 🤣

To make the fresh breadcrumbs a more of a traditional colour you can try toasting the bread before whizzing them up. The scene from Dr.Who was the first episode of the 11th doctor and they were the frozen variety.

I think you should get the Back To The Future Cookbook next! 😁

I always figured that fish fingers were just fish sticks but nice to get confirmation.

What it means by fresh bread crumbs is you take bread you toast it chillest write out a bit or you can use old bread that has dried out and then you grind them up in that machine.

It was a brand new doctor meeting a 9 year old for the first time, it was meant to be a bit 'off'. They call them 'Fish Sticks' in the U.S. Try saying that three times fast! 🤣

This makes me even more excited to try Fish Fingers and Custard in my next video soon! The Doctor Who Cookbook definitely has some cool recipe ideas I'd love to try in a video one day! 💙

As a massive Doctor Who fan, yes the Doctor eats frozen fish fingers and custard aaaaaand thriws bread and butter out the front door in the plate screaming “out and stay out!”😊

I've been making legitimate Fish Custard as a snack to eat whilst watching Doctor Who for years; since it was introduced in Matt's era in 2010. Homemade custard, fish fingers and all. yummy.

Fallout has a cookbook that has really neat recipes

As a avid Doctor Who fan, I couldn't resist making fish fingers and custard, only my homemade "custard" became the base of a tartar sauce. A good trick for frying is to freeze what you're going to fry a little before cooking.

Hey Barry. You should give Dr. Who a go, it is worth a watch. I would start with Christopher Ecclestone, not the older series unless you are really into it. It is quite funny. And no they are not frozen, just the frozen box variety, also i dont beleive they are actually fish fingers in the show.

M&S do a killer jumbo fish finger. Actually, so do Morrisons sometimes.

barry you should do more of the more interesting ones in that book i had it and theres some really fun ones you should try

Actually tried fish fingers and custard, it surprisingly works XD. I don’t understand why but it does.

Cheese custard and you’ve got an elite dish

I love the inexhaustible optimism of Barry's videos. Keeping my (fish) fingers crossed that a vid goes viral soon and he breaks that one-million-subs barrier.

Eastenders: Dot Cotton Actor: June Brown 🕊️ Barry: ‘dOt bROwN’ 🤣

Two side notes, we call them fish sticks here and I keep hearing "cowardy custard" when Barry says custard 🍮, cheers from central Ontario Canada.

throwback to Barshens when Barry didn't know what TARDIS stood for.

The peaky blinders cook book has some bonkers recipes in it.

The cheese custard looked like it was made with birds custard powder 😂

We call them fish sticks here in Canada but they are so thin. I will definately try this recipe. Btw we put lemon or tartar sauce on ours.

And now the theme tune. Doctor Whoooo Doctor Whoooo It is time for Doctor Who Doctor Whoooo

Maybe the Nightmare Before Christmas cookbook for Halloween?

From the US. We would call that a fish stick over here. Delicious.

Doctor who goes in the freezer get some fish fingers cook's thumb and when hes eating them he is eating them with costard And he also claims he invented Yorkshire pudding

As a Canadian, I do have a certain nostalgia for store bought fish fingers, though we commonly call them fish sticks here.

Fish fingers and custard are indeed unexpectedly good. 🥰
