The Iconic Fish & Chips: Fried To Perfection | Food Secrets Ep. 19 

And not only that, if cooked perfectly, Fish and Chips has the potential to be top one takeaway.

@@kaycey7361 Additionally if cooked incredibly, fish and chips could be one higher than number 2 on a list of best takeaways.

@Rob G regardless to say, if its cooked with dexterity, it has the capabilities to become top 2 food for public distribution.

No doubt

fry chicken is better

There is one shop in Bundaberg. Been there for about 40 years. His son has taken it on now.

fresh oil is a thing of the past with the cooking oil prizes these days

@@will123134 Yes mate and it's even better for your health than oil!

You haven't experienced 'real' fish & chips until you get them from a Yorkshire chippy cooked in pure beef dripping. Trust me, done well it is not greasy, super crisp and flavour you can't believe until you try it

@@dronezoneessex5551 OK Danny lad, put the knacker-cracker away! (RateMyTakeaway)

@@dronezoneessex5551 I agree that it isn't proper if it's not cooked in beef dripping, but chippies all over the country use beef dripping not just in Yorkshire. My local chippy here in Dorset does, for example. Most use veg oil, but nothing compares with dripping.

Cheers! Flathead, IMHO, is the best fish and chip fish! For battering, anyway. Whiting's my favourite for crumbed, and grilled? Saltwater barra!

Not sure when you were visiting Australia, but we haven't wrapped chips in newspaper for decades. Butchers paper is standard, for at least the last 50 years.

@@BongoBoy-l9o You're lucky to find even butcher's paper these days. Boxes are industry standard in Melbourne for at least 10 years. It's getting rare to see a proper fish'n'chip shop run by a Greek or Italian family. My Grandfather (born 1904, bless his casually racist heart) "Say what ya' like about the Dagoes....they know how ter run a chip shop"

@@professornuke7562 Haha, Love it!

You can use sparkeling water in tempura batter to get it more airy/f;luffy/whatever. It's super good like that.

A local chippy to me uses R-Whites lemonade it's lovely.

@@rundattmedia2106 that’s a new one. I’ve never heard of it before. Sounds interesting.

Not really. It's in most fish & chips recipes. Tried both, carbonation in some beers is more reliable than best commercially available seltzer. On par with homemade seltzer.

its good cuz then everyone can eat it. Beer batter and a chunk of people cant eat it .

Exactly like myself. I love fish & chips and ate it regularly when I was living in Grimsby/ Cleethorpes area in the eighties.

why did you leave the United Kingdom in 1965? The UK is amazing

Sounds great!

I use duck fat. It’s a flavour profile I’d call “subtle, but more-ish”.

@@feliscorax Beef dripping is great but makes the house stink. It's also expensive.

Yep - that's the secret!

Maybe they home deliver 😆

same but im american .

Which you won't find in the US, British restaurant or otherwise

It's unsophisticated cooking. Hardly difficult to master. It's embarrassing a country with access to so much fish can only come up with this.

@Belette holt fente it's cheap and it's cheerful, and if you actually watched the video and heard the history behind it. Then you'd realise that quite often it was produced in some of the less posh areas of the UK as it was a fairly inexpensive way to produce a hot meal for people as well as very filling and moreish. Us Brits don't always like having fancy food, sometimes all we want is great grub that fills us up and means we can get a crack on with whatever work we need to get done. Also some of the best chefs in the UK love a good old-fashioned "Chish and Fips" (name of a VERY popular place here in Norwich) when they're tired of fancy stuff, just look up Gordon Ramsey or Heston Blumenthal on here, as they both have fancy fish and chips recipes.

@@shakiMiki You really think that's the only fish dish the British have? 🤣

@@shakiMiki As it is made up of two food items that were not included in rationing during WW2, it increased in popularity, keeping people fed at low cost (as we had a fishing industry back then). Try a quality Arbroath Smokie straight from the barrel, or Cullen Skink, or any of the many other fish dishes from around the UK's coastline (which is rather long) before dismissing the UK's fish recipes.

I'm in nz too and my family puts Worcester sauce on ours.

@sonyavincent7450 Oh my goodness another favourite sauce of mine!!! I make a lovely marinade with Worcestershire & Oyster sauce & chopped garlic, good with sausages & of course steak lol.

That was the struggle for me when i moved to NZ from the UK back in 2010 for a few years, no vinegar, mushy peas and mainly done with snapper which is understandable as Cod is a northern Hemisphere fish so they use what they could.

This makes me happy to read, especially as a Brit living in Asia. I love your national dish, Adobo :-)

Local Filipinos who does tourists usually are not a fan of European cuisine as they see the lack of in you face bold flavor in most of their food, especially the Italian ones, A neighbor of mine toured in Italy and was so underwhelmed with the savory dishes she asked for salt or soysauce on restaurants

As a Norwich lad born and bred, thank you for the compliment 😊 we're very lucky as we do have some really good fish and chips places here 🤤 (now I'm really fancying some lol 😆)

😂

@@pastre999 Filipino food is not so good and tends to be bland Eating in the Philippines however is an altogether different experience because of the massive variety of cheap, good, international foods.

...no streaks ...

Er, no

nooooo beef dripping

hahaha yeah made me chuckle as well

It’s basically surf & turf lol

lol

Hence - the Uk is obese.

It is indeed. Fish is rich in protein and chips is rich in carbs

Jeg har ALDRI vært fornøyd med fish and chips som jeg har bestilt her i landet. Ingen som klarer det! :p

Same here!

We love it but we also think it's a good idea to not have this EVERY day :)

@@DWFood the man in your documentary literally said it’s nutritional balanced

​@@organizedchaos4559and He's right. Long Live the Chippy.

This is antisemitic

Haddock is my favourite as well. The food in Yorkshire is extremely good. Moved down South over forty years ago. Not the same here.

Two things wrong with this vlog 1/ Fish and chips should be cooked in beef dripping, the veg oil is pandering to the veggies 2/ The best chippies will always let the customer do their own salt and vinegar

Fried in beef dripping - that's the thing!

@@tonyves Yes it is!

I went to Alaska this year! You guys would have halibut a lot as well right? Had halibut and sockeye when I was there.

I've lived in the Toronto area all my life and halibut is the standard. In fact, if fish and chips are on the menu at a regular restaurant (not a fish and chip shop) halibut is usually the only option. It suits me. I've had cod, pollock and haddock and halibut is far superior in my opinion, although you pay through the nose for that quality. At home, I use frozen battered haddock (Jane's) and it's quite a nice, affordable option.

youre making me want kalkys

When it's cooked properly, Fish and Chips are best enjoyed on a rainy seafront, taking in the world. The experience is unrivalled IMO.

It's done very well in Australia and New Zealand as well.

Here in America I would like to thank the genius Joe Biden for destroying the average middle class to the point that going on a trip to England is just unattainable!!! We all must celebrate Biden easily surpassing Jimmy Carter as the Worst President in the history of the USA. 😂😂😂

American fish and chips are nothing like the UK

That’s why I went hunting for a battered fish and chips in Florida and found one at the old salty dog. Oh my gosh! So good.

You can. Very easily. Try Fritto Misto. You get a whole selection of fish.

@@shakiMiki Sorry - I don't want baby octopus tentacles and anchovies with my quality haddock and chips, thank you very much! Each to their own...

@@gorillachilla How come they can't make a burger then?

@@gorillachilla lol no. Goof! Muhammed is Chinese.

Well that's funny that Fish and Chips dates back to 15th Century Portugal. Created out of necessity, not culinary genius

Fish and chips come directly from Jewish Italian and Spanish immigrants

Burger - Hamburger - Hamburg = Germany? And fries were invented in Belgium 😂😂

You didn't have to, but we always used to have catholics buy fish on Fridays. Even now, Fridays are always the busiest day for fresh fish (not just battered)

sounds delicious

And Haddock not Cod.

Tallow

Yep Onion vinegar, a lot of fake vinegar out there now

🧹

I can’t believe they use seed oil and get away with it.

@@alpmeyda I know. Beef dripping lasts a lot longer too. When these seed oils have hit 185 consistently over a few days it is time to throw it away.

I'd agree. My wife wouldn't.

Perhaps on the coast somewhere? :)

Long John silvers

@@wallytuber, Sorry, Long John Silvers doesn't do it for me, frozen fish and frozen chips from a fast food chain.

Probably using seed oils

@@bluesky6985 suppose

I visited Dublin back in 2014 and heard from some classmates, who went to a recommended spot (no idea where), that the fish and chips really weren't that good. Thought it might've just been a bad spot but from you say about the grease it might just be that Ireland isn't good at fish and chips.

@@TheIvanNewb yup seems like it. It's more of a tradition in the UK

Sure was

It's not mandatory to have the vinegar, they always ask

Chips and fries are totally different. Chips are just so much better.

Because we already have ubiquitous fried foods in America. Fried fish and fries would just be another dish among others.

I lived in Florida for 8 years and whenever they tried to do fish and chips it was never the same. Glad to be living back in the Uk haha. But Yeah its an odd one people seemed to like Catfish over there more so then cod.

Cos we have much better things to eat that fish and chips. I've had Poppie's in London twice. Meh. I shouldn't have expected much; after all, it's just fish that is fried. Come to Los Angeles where we have the best authentic foods from around the world. It's expensive. But then again, In-N-Out is cheap is better than any fast-food burger joint you can find in England.

It's funny how some people like tartar and some dont, then some put it on certain fish, but not others. I also find the variation in tartar's incredible also!

Fish and chips can be called all sorts of wonderful things. Nutritionally balanced is not one of those things... 🤣

@@LeongGunners Oh look! a slab of fish fillet and potatoes! now that dish sure is healthy indeed!

Once a week on Fridays balance out the soul lol

@RDU23 Most things are not healthy today. Chemicals, stabilisers, pesticides, even vegetables grown on mass are often not fit for human consumption, but yea the healthiest option with fish and chips is probably the mushy peas or pickled onion

It is delicious isn't it?

@@DWFood Hey guys, I wrote to you on your fruit wine video 2 years back. Please make a detailed documentary about fruit wines and fruit wineries. There is nothing about this topic on RU-vid. Just a video from your guys. You should include different fruits used to make fruit wines, different methods used for fermentation, future of fruit wine, etc. There many documentary on wine. But, nothing on fruit wine. Everyone will love to see a good informative documentary. Btw I love your videos guys. Thank you.

@@DWFood better than Germán food🤣

@@DWFood Big up the Sephardic Jews of 19th C London!

@@DWFood It is also something we have in Ireland. The places you buy it from are called chippers.

Yes, Jews are know to deep fat fry a lot of their food.

Jews rule the world

Probably false. They appropriate nonstop.

You think the English have the potential to make something delicious? Not a chance.

@@smellypatel5272 not false.

If you haven't eaten British fish & chips.

@@tonyvesI have. Maybe the fish... But never Belgian chips! Have you tried them ?They are the best!

tastes the same to me but beware, cholesterol resued oil etc.. its not healthy at all.

@@PHlophe Food isn't healthy? OK.

When I heard it, I thought he was sarcastic

Mad me laugh too

No problem I watched the silent version 3 times.

Thanks for uploading again with sound 🙏

There is something g hearty and warm in your videos. It might sound stupid and naiiv, but I feel so good, I feel a taste of home, while watching these videos.

@@aihsanasl Love the support!

its ok just dont let it happen again

Don’t go to London, go to Yorkshire coastline or South west area such as Brighton, Plymouth, Cornwall etc.
