These fish & chips are the absolute dogs - truly some of the best fish & chips I've had. Dog fish is a great fish with just one bone down the middle. The Express Fish Bar in SE16 is the absolute dogs.
London fish & chips at its best. Reviewing the best chips, fish & mushy peas.

I'm just about to watch the video, and initially, I assumed that "dogs" meant bad, but then, realising you're a Londoner, I realised the Fish & Chips are probably the "Dog's B*llocks?" I'll watch the video and see if I'm right? As a northerner (I live in Lancaster), watching your videos, is like watching an episode of "EastEnders!" £15 for Fish & Chips? ... Glad I don't live in "that London!" ... My mate Keith lives in London, but we've fallen out again, and I hate the little tit! The Rock & Chips did look delicious! 👍😋 Where was the Bread & Butter?

Darren you made my mouth water Rock was my favourite to have in the UK most Rockfish would get clubbed and thrown back in the water fishermen want real Salmon not Dogfish here in Victoria British Columbia Canada.

@jhindle7883 6 месяцев назад

We don't generally get much choice up here in the North; your usual cod or haddock and sometimes plaice but never seen rock. but we were in Portsmouth many years ago and went for fish and chips; they had a huge selection but it was late and they had run out of most stuff, but they had Dutch Eel. I'm up for anything different so gave it a try - wife wouldn't even consider it. the best fish experience I've ever had, and I know my fish & chips. That was perhaps 50 years ago now and I've never seen it since and we've travelled all over - oh for one more time before i snuff it.

@nigellee9824 3 месяца назад

Yes, it's because we prefer cod and haddock

@peaky5135 6 месяцев назад

Proper chips pal not like air fryer ones

@palace1439 6 месяцев назад

That definitely looked OTC's DJ. I know you don't like giving the price but if that was for sit down and not takeaway then it was very cheap for London as I've just paid the same to take it away.

@Ed___1234 6 месяцев назад

Darren if you fancy a great trip out on your bike this summer there’s a place called Littleport near Ely where one of the founders of Harley Davidson is from and there’s a Harley statue in the village where bikers go to visit. While you’re there go to Ely Fish house for lunch or dinner, easily one of the best fish and chips in the country. Love the bike mate 👍

@matthew6994 6 месяцев назад

Looks amazing, just needs salt on those chips and Ketchup - Controversial! I've never had Rock, is it cheaper then Cod?

@stewartgrant7724 6 месяцев назад

HI Darren .What a lovely fish bar and that fish and chips looked great. I to love rock and any fish that does not have any bones in this. Yes love to have salt Vinegar and Tartar sauce and bread or roll and butter. The only problem I find unless fish is freshly cooked it is always very creasy and deep in batter which I have to leave as this is not crispy.

@davidregan2528 6 месяцев назад

When you said the absolute dogs, I presume you meant the dogs Bo####ks 😂 which I say all the time when something is really good

@frankmlchaelglasscock6539 6 месяцев назад

Yer 👌💯👍for the fish and chips but I would not ride a motor cycle in London any. More that is for sure i am the same age as you and i have been a biker all my life no way now

@gc9017 6 месяцев назад

Why is it so hard today to get fish and chips with that quality , you can 99% of the time get it at the seaside but so many inland shops are shocking . For me it’s vinegar, heavy on the salt and tartare 👍

@mactheknifeuk 6 месяцев назад

forget the would you woudnt you on the salt and viniger, which of course is yes all day. its the lack of paper that ruins it, fish and chips on a plate with cutlery is a big no. should be on the passenger seat in a car while driving juggling the food between gears😂

Don't understand this, one day healthy chips, sorry healthier chips in air frier, now proper fish chips mushy peas, the only reason chips are spot on is because they were deep fried, struggling to under stand your consent on this channel, from one extreme to the other, now what I mean?

@MikePaton-Williams-yv9qo 6 месяцев назад

If you watch his vlogs, Darren has said it's five days healthy eating two days less healthy.

@connieh6136 5 месяцев назад

One day of deep fried fatty food of any kind once a week is too much especially as we grow older ,half portions may help ,the fish looks delicious all the same 🤪

Looked good quality fish there dj, in fact you should go to the rye bay scallop festival when it's on, and in the high St in RYE there's marinos fish bar, the quality there is literally off the charts, best ever. The food is excellent in the mermaid aswell, book yourself a room sometime.

@patrickward8144 6 месяцев назад

Fish and chips. One of my all time favourite meals. My ready made pizza from Aldi isn't so appealing now. That's a good looking plate full too. Salt and vinegar for me. Another excellent review.

@jonathanbowles2577 6 месяцев назад

Good Evening DJ. I could tell straight from your Facial Expression, this plate of Deliciousness was yes, Off the Charts. It was really Good to see proper thick Beef Chips, Mushy peas looked absolutely Gorgeous, this Wonderful piece of Fish called Rock looked absolutely Stunning, the Flesh looked so White and thick too Saviour it's Succulence with each mouthful. These Fish & Chips with Mushy Peas and Tartare Sauce was The best i have ever seen. £ 15 pounds paid, that was a very Good price. Thank you DJ.

Hello Darren. I've subscribed(on ur original channel too) and followed for a while. I have to be honest. The title really put me off and wasn't sure I wanted to watch it. I'm Scottish and never heard that saying before. Definitely know it wasn't a clickbait but thought meal was going to be awful 😮How wrong was I😊Not keen on the bone, u know how to deal with it but not sure lots of viewers would. We will now though!

@Russ453hgf 6 месяцев назад

Really enjoyed this video, Darren. What a great choice . That piece of Rock looked beautiful. Lovely crispy batter that, importantly, didn't look to be greasy, and lovely fluffy, meaty white fish. The chips looked faultless. As you say, proper fish and chips. Loved the video. See you on the next one ✅👍 Guys, please like, share and subscribe.

The simple english meals cooked well are the very best aren't theg Darren. They looked scrumptious. My children said my mum's chips and mjne were the best. I learned from my mum and to me hers were the best. When my brother and I were at junior school we didn't always have school dinners although they were good and we came home at lunchtime to a hot meal. I can taste those chips egg and beans now my favourite. The chips were golden brown and she fried them in dripping in a deep fry pan in those days.j

I enjoyed the filming on Daisy when you were on your way to the fish and chip shop, Darren. There was quite a bit of clever creativity going on and with your choice of background music, it definitely added to the interesing flow of the video. I never used to like mushy peas but i think they really make the fish and chips more nourishing and comforting . More tasty. Your mushy peas looked great. Whisper it, but Ive even been known to dabble in a bit of curry sauce more recently That would' ve been a no-no years ago...!

@66meikou 6 месяцев назад

I miss proper fish n chips. We don't have chippy's here in the states. I've never tried rock, I usually go cod or haddock. Mum and Dad (RIP) likes rock or skate. Life it good when you have a 'cati and you find a great chippy.

@karengalley3669 6 месяцев назад

It makes a nice change to have a selection of fish to choose from. I haven’t had rock for many, many years. My mum used to get rock from Rathbone market and cook it. Middle skate is lovely but I only eat cod now. I had what I think was the best I’d ever had a couple of weeks ago, delicious! Freshly cooked with a really fine batter. The curry sauce was lovely too and for the first time in years I ate half a portion of chips. I couldn’t eat chips or any potato dish without salt. I don’t like vinegar but lemon squeezed over the fish is a must. So glad you enjoyed it.
