Reviewing WHITBY'S FIVE BEST FISH and CHIP SHOPS! (A FULL REVIEW) 

unlike Mc M

Thanks so much Tel. I don't think that would be fair to those who do not enjoy Fish and Chips so I had to put them all in one. It really means a lot that you think so highly of the video and have a lovely rest of your weekend. As always, a pleasure.

Gary definitely does this because he enjoys it, not just for money/views, love all Gary's videos their brilliant x

You're so right Terry. A very good point you made. I preferred number 1. I absolutely love Haddock, chips and mushy peas. Haddock has to have the skin on . Love it. Now I've got the munchies lol xx😘

agreed Gary does very well informed videos for the best places to eat also been some nice locations , its nice to learn of food places I've never seen or heard of before, plus he's always very down to earth about what he really thinks about the food. 😊 yeah there would be people that would turn something like this into 6 or 7 videos and milk it the best they can but Gary he's not that person , he's as honest as they come.

Thanks John. I do think the fish is more important than the mushy peas!

Fly over and try some!

I'm a purist,I like only fish and chips ,I can't stand mushy peas and curry sauce euch,spoils it makes it soggy

@@romystumpy1197 Purist,more like a Satanist 🤣🤣 only joking dude,somedays I'm the same,just salt and vinegar is all I need/crave. I do like the odd pot of, peas,gravy or curry sauce on occasion,my kids think I'm boring lol

@@SirHargreeves ha ha the return flight will be fun for the passenger sat next to him🤣💨💩

I’d rather be where you are lol 🇦🇺

@@GaryEats not for Aussie fish and chips though, shockingly bad. head to NZ for proper fish and chis like England.

@@malcolmnicholson2418 Far better food available

Thanks for the recommendation especially as a local and appreciate your lovely comment

Been in Whitby 23 years and never been in the Magpie!! We go to the Royal fisheries usually. Hadley's isn't bad either.

Anywhere but Hadleys.@@pheart2381

I've been visiting whitby since a child and its always been trenchers for my family! never been in the magpie!

@@pheart2381 Royal fisheries was out goto place for years but we found that everything changed about 2 years ago. We now goto Silver Street Fisheries then walk up to Pannett Park .

Keith you are completely right 👍👍👍😊😊😊

I agree Alex excellent chips 🍟

I disagree chippy chips should be a lightly cooked pale yellow not overcooked and burnt !

Looked very nice ,yes please.👏👍⭐️🙏🏼❤️🤩😜

Because they cooked the old way in dripping not oil

Potato type counts too. A sweeter spud will brown quicker.

That’s a lovely comment and really appreciated, it makes the journey worthwhile thank you Harold 👍

Thank you it was still very good 👍

I know nearly mugged three times lol

@@GaryEats😂😂😂😂

Got mugged right off in Liverpool. Different breed of Gulls there lar. Knew this takeaway idea was doomed!

MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I want to open a fish and chip restaurant in Barcelona,on Barceloneta beech but I need a backer,,,it would be amazing with xpats and British tourists.there isn't a chippy in Barcelona I no because I lived there.

In the heat of the night In the heat of the day When I close my eyes When I look your way When I meet the fear that lies inside When I hear you say In the heat of the moment Say, say, say Some day, some day, some day, Dominion Come a time Some day, some day, some day, Dominion Some say prayers Some say prayers!!!!

Thank you Dan 👍

​@@mikekaraoke Tune! 😎

@@triplow1 It is indeed, when did you last listen/hear it/see the music video? 😎

Probably last Saturday at my mate's house. I haven't actually seen the video, but I'll check it out. We went to a Goth/alt 80s/new wave night in Newcastle last year, and this was played. Sounded class on a decent system. 🔥

Thank you very much William, really appreciate you subscribing, watching and commenting, I’ll be over to see you in the not too distant future 👍

Very kind thank you 🙏

Shouldn't you be working instead of viewing food reviews? Do your job.

@@RajaKhan-zf8hhshouldn’t u be looking after ur kids instead of negatively replying to people?

​@@RajaKhan-zf8hhI bet you're fun at parties... 🙄

​@RajaKhan-zf8hh lol (had to upvote), I run my own business, no problem having a TV/video playing in the background. Appreciate your concern for the sanctity of the graft though ;)

@@RajaKhan-zf8hh See what a nicer human being @lou-quepe is? Try to be like him and you will get your first friend

I agree Jeff very good at Trenchers

We always go to Trencher’s when we go to Whitby

Yes they were the best.

I love Trenchers and have always had gorgeous crispy batter like Gary had .. usually Magpie is the same so l think he was unlucky.

A bit of radio 4 especially in the rush hour calms the mood and educates I've found . And if I get university challenge. Might stand a chance!

Very kind Matty I will be doing more of this type of video in the future 👍

Thank you Tony and appreciate you scoring thanks again 👍

Trenchers first one the best by a mile

I fully agree beautiful and thank you so much

Over priced !

You'll also find some of the worst fish and chips imaginable in Whitby. They prey on tourists who don't know any better.

Very kind thank you

Yes, my wife is Whitby born and bred and Fusco's is the one for her. great watch Gary.

Great video Gary we love Whitby can’t remember name of one we go to lol getting old

Used to be my favourite, but I thought that had gone off the boil lately.

That’s where we go when we in Whitby had them 3 weeks ago were lovely

It's a lovely place. Thank you!

​@@GaryEatsSurely you mean "a lovely plaice" 😅😅😅

lol that’s funny Gary 😂

Fully agree 💯Frank brilliant flavours

Just how my mum used to do em 👍👌

Chips are always better in Irish beef dripping 😋

I fully agree Trevor amazing

Really kind and appreciated Daniel thank you 🙏

Rich you are always so kind thank you, have a great week mate 👍

Very kind and appreciated Paul 👍

That’s the way to do it lol 😂

@@GaryEats have to get you down to Weymouth for a mackerel bap, now that’s something special!

​@@GreenoEats Nevermind meeting the women of Weymouth, what is the food like?

Omg

Thank you Bruce very kind and all were very good places to eat 👍

That’s very kind thank you, it makes all the hard work worthwhile

Thank you for watching and commenting that’s really important to make it worthwhile 👍

Thank you it was the best

Hi Gary great video. Fish and chips lookes great. Wish I could eat fish but I have an intolerance to fish😩 looking forward to your videos thank you Gary 👍👍👍

Thanks so much Helen

Trenchers looked incredible, will be trying it next time we're in Whitby

Trenchers is my go-to lunchtime restaurant whenever I'm in Whitby. Trenchers also has a branch in Whitley Bay, in the refurbished Spanish City building. It's a very classy joint, and each time I've been there (perhaps 7 or 8 times in the past four years) the service and the quality of the F&C dinners have been excellent.

I had a great time thank you and it’s a lot cheaper than London that’s for sure ☝️

That would be brilliant but not sure it’s going to happen lol 😂

Have a great time

lol very funny 😂😂😂

Very kind and I fully agree

Thank you very kind 👍

Try The Fishermans Wife...its really good..

You have to Sandria it’s beautiful and as always thank you x

I will be Daniel and had a great time lovely town

Very kind thank you

Thank you Steven

Unbelievable town with lovely people thanks for scoring really appreciated 👍

Got to say Trenches is the best. Magpie off season in the restaurant is great but don’t bother ordering anything with chips and no point even trying in the summer.

I did Hugh and only three people out of nearly 2000 noticed lol 😂 really appreciate you scoring and commenting, have a great week 👍

@@GaryEats You're welcome, love watching your videos, so refreshing to see honest, straight forward and fair reviews. By the number of subscribers you're gaining I think I'm not alone in thinking this.

I appreciate you commenting Emma and Hadley’s is really great 👍

Thanks for watching! Yes, Whitby is stunning

Very kind a beautiful town 👌👌

Very kind Paul and thank you 🙏

Thank you Lee 👍

I hope you enjoy Chris 👍

Thank you so much Ann. I have to say, Whitby is absolutely beautiful!

That’s very kind Ray thank you

I had a great time really loved the town and the people 👍

Very kind Mark and regards to you and your wife

Thank you Michael

It was the best Margaret, go on have some tonight lol

Thank you John I agree completely

Really appreciated I hope you enjoy when you visit

Very kind thank you

Haddock is the best tasting fish by far. Very rarely get Cod in the North.

@@kevindenyer428 Taste is subjective, however, i live in the north and you can get cod everywhere. Whitby is famous for it. You're talking nonsense.

Leaving the skin on improves the flavour, similar to cooking meat on the bone. Lazy!?!🤨 Idiot.

That’s so kind and appreciated thank you have a great time 👍

You heard the advice everyone 👍👍

Thank you it was a lot of fun 🤩

Phillip you have to visit a beautiful town

Brilliant time in a lovely town

Thank you 🙌

It’s a long drive from London Ian 😳

That’s very very kind thank you ☺️

I agree.

He was well fed Debbie but he doesn’t want fish and chips for a while lol 😂

Thanks Sandra

You take care as well and really appreciate you watching and commenting as always have a great week 👍

Nice video again, Gary! ❤ Cameraman hasn't eaten this good in a long time!! don't be making a habit of this! 🤣🤣 I know you said the Magpie was cooked to order, but did you see them fry the chips then and there? my theory is: they're usually so packed with lines going around the block, that the chips that are being fried are served as soon as they're done cooking. They can barely cook them, as fast as they're going out again. It's almost an immediate turn around, and that adds an element of freshness you can't beat, I reckon. Whereas, when it's not jam-packed, they're probably not gonna blow you away because they've just been sat, even if just for a few secs/mins. It's like when you get McDonalds chips. If you've ever had them straight out the fryer, they are so hot/crispy/fluffy, it's night and day compared to the ones which have been stood on the rack keeping warm. When we were last there, we saw the lines at Trenchers and Magpies and just found somewhere else randomly. Tried the "Fish Box" just down the road, in and out in a few minutes, and had some really nice quality chips/pies, staff were nice too. Best chips I've ever had, were at the Lifeboat Bar in Scarborough, always had quality fish/chips from there without fail. (they've also got a funny sign inside which says the explanation for "Scraps" up north, and a long list of INCORRECT names other people use for them... 🤭😂)

lol thank you very much

Thank you Neil great choice

Thank you Warren no more fish and chips for a while lol

Thank you Ian a brilliant choice and the winner thank you

I chose haddock for a change on this one the town is so nice 👌

Really appreciate that comment Andrew thank you 🤩

That’s very kind to say Daz

Thanks James👍

Thank you Martin I do agree 👍

Yes,me too. By far.@@GaryEats

Send me an email with his name and I’ll send him a message x

That’s great to hear Andrew excellent 👌

Thank you for your kind words and I really hope you have a great time

I fully fully agree 👍

I really appreciate you’re lovely comment that you very much 👍

Gary, five fish and chip shops in one video? As a Londoner stuck in the US this was torture to watch! There’s no decent fish and chips anywhere in the country. Here in Alabama all we have is Captain D’s feeble attempt. The only fish they have is pollock which looks like cod but has zero taste! Anyway, great vid!

So sorry my friend lol

Very kind to say Linda, a lovely lager 🍺 and thank you as always have a great week xx

I love it too now Mark for sure

That’s a lovely comment and made my night thank you xx

@@GaryEats More than welcome. You should be a professional presenter! I'm still craving fish and chips 😋 😂 So looking forward to the next video review. By the way, did you climb the steps to the Abbey? 😂 That will burn off the calories! Thanks again for your wonderful videos. Take care xx

That's incredibly kind. Thank you :) I didn't but I wish I did!

That’s very kind Greg thank you

Thank you so much

Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you for making mine Derrick

That’s an awesome comment thank you so much really appreciated 👍👍👍

Go for it Steve 👍

Thank you Steven and my apologies lol

I loved the town and the people so friendly

That’s so very kind thank you

Or anywhere! Agree 100% 👍

And to you Shane thank you 🍀🇮🇪🍀🇮🇪🍀🇮🇪
