As a Scot I can hardly believe I have just spent nearly 20 minutes watching a video of someone eating fish suppers. But, it was great. I loved it. Well done.
Hi there, In the old days Fish and Chips were served in Newspaper at Li'aba d'oro. That was my local and cost £1 for a Fish supper. The man retired and his son took over also opening a takeaway next door. Went downhill from then. All about profit. The best chippy in Edinburgh is next to the Hearts Football Stadium on Dalry Road, called the Gorgie Fish Bar. Fantastic Fish and Chips, and the Steak Pie supper is amazing. Best chippy in Edinburgh period. I'm heading up to 60 years old so i know where to go. Gorgie Fish Bar unbeatable. Steve in Fife.
Good fun! The last time I was in L’Alba D’Oro was about 20 years ago and Scott Hastings of British and Irish Lions fame tried to skip the queue and was told to wait his turn. I still respect them!
@@blackbob3358 Forgotten I'd made this post! Edinburgh's New Town probably has more rugby nuts per capita than anywhere else in Britain. In that context it was amusing to see 'oor Scott' being telt.
Haddock much tastier fish imo. Impressed you have picked up a lot of the key points about freshness, but sometimes not the shops fault as it depends on customer to keep the turnover going. No idea how many of them fry in beef dripping which is the traditional method in England, but it really makes them taste delicious. I laughed out loud when I saw my first deep fried pizza. No wonder the oil gets a bit polluted on flavour. Enjoyable video thanks.
Hi I am from Edinburgh and I just wanted to say when they say do you want sauce with your fish and chips they’ve mean a special Edinburgh sauce that is a mix of brown sauce and vinegar you can only find it in Edinburgh and I recommend it it’s nicer than it sounds 😃 Globetrotter defiantly dose it
@@Kakibot You're welcome. My wife and I watch your vids all the time and now frequent quite a few of the coffee shops/eateries etc that you've recommended over the years. Thanks.
Salvatore's on Roseneath Terrace, (EH9 1JH) serve a brilliant haddock and chips if you are ever in the Bruntsfield area of Edinburgh. They also serve Pizza, Burgers, and Vegetarian food as well.....highly recommend it !!
when Sean Connery used to visit Edinburgh to see his mother he used to visit the “international” fish & chip restaurant and claimed it was the best he could find but regrettably don’t think the restaurant exist anymore unless they moved to another location
Salt n Sauce is such an Edinburgh thing. The cup final between Hearts and Hibs was even nicknamed the Salt n Sauce Final. The. Globetrotter has been rebranded this year but still sells a superior product.
My local Chippy in Aberdeen charges £11 for large haddock , £3.50 for small chips and £2.90 for curry sauce ( not that I have that with fish ). So £17.40 not the £7-£ 9 suggested . Annoying thing is the fish is landed at Aberdeenshire ports .
Hi Kakibot, great fun. Looking forward to test some fish. When you film kindly try to get some nice close up shoots of the things you eat or drink. Makes everything more interesting if you kind of having a good spot to sitt and enjoy the food also. All the best.
As a Scottish guy living in Germany this was food porn 😂 Should be salt n sauce in Edinburgh though. I’m from Glasgow but always liked the Edinburgh way when over there.
The recent correct answer is Doctors (a pub). Also try the local Innis brew. I was there two weeks ago. Just perfection. Even better than Poppies in London (my second choice).
Scrolled through this but no mention of the Fishmarket down by Leith? A recent show picked that as the best place in Edinburgh if not Scotland. Also Edinburgh chips require salt and sauce which is a mix of your HP sauce with vinegar so no need to carry your own! Other areas like Glasgow only have salt and vinegar, where you live matters!
@@AJ-PFbat lol whoop de do, you may find that other people who arent you have different experiences and one look at that thread proves the point.... other people make that sauce in a way you dont like but so what? www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2015/06/karen-gillans-favorite-condiment-chippy-sauce
@@AJ-PFbat funny cos its split between people who have had both lol what a clown! in fact its no even split, 11 comments with 10 saying its a mix of sauce and vinegar....or water your eyes are fkd lol your obviously the "authority" of chip sauce in Scotland LMAO Thank fk i never went to your shop lol
Polystyrene containers for Fish and Chips is such a no no. Take the food home, and on the way the contents steam, then open at home and find your previous crispy fish and chips are soggy.
There are multiple buses headed that way from the wider city centre - 26 & 19 probably among the best options. But I also quite like taking the train from Waverley! Drops you off a bit further from the beach, but the walk towards it is enjoyable .)
You two should have soo many more subs. Your intel, gorgeous, beatiful in a sexy classy way and the info and research needs mucho respecto..Dont stop dolface, we in Alba love you my dears, i kid you not. 🙋
Have you tried Bertie's Proper Fish and Chips? Looking for a place when we arrive next month that is walking distance to our airbnb. And Berties was less that 1.5 km. Also looking to get good beers too.
Great fun! Wondering if you shot all the places in 1 day (from your outfit) because I can barely even finish 1 portion of fish & chips in 1 go, especially from the Fishmarket
Great, informative, well presented posts on the city of Edinburgh. Good work - you have another subscription! :-) You should try a little Scottish-Filipino cafe/restaurant in Gorgie sometime. It's called Cafe Presko. To my knowledge it's the only Filipino restaurant in Edinburgh and as far as I'm aware it hasn't been v-logged by anyone else yet, so you'd have an exclusive! Oh, and my wife, Harriet (A Filipina, of course) works there (but make sure you if you do decide to go, let me know and go along on a day she is working there as that's when it tends to get be at its best ... as reviews tend to reflect this). It's a great wee place. Keep up the good work! :-)
Excellent! :-) Here's hoping you enjoy. Let me know when you plan to visit (if that's ok) and I'll let Harriet know. We both enjoy watching your vlogs.
You didn't tell us how much you paid for these fish n chips. They all look very average and much the same as each other. From what I've seen price wise , they cost a fortune over there
I've heard good things about that place! Hoping to get there before it gets too cold outside, I bet it's super nice to eat while sitting next to the harbour!
@@Kakibot yes! My wife is from leith and when we go back to visit family I love that place. We love following your journeys. Takes my wife back. We’ve seen a couple of her faves in Roseleaf & Mimi’s. Our favorite pub is Queens Arms in New Tiwn
Fish and chips comes out of a Sephardim Jewish kosher tradition. Flanders in Belgium particularly Antwerpen was settled by Jewish refugees from Iberia ( Sepharad = from Latin "Hesperides" ).
Oh nooo, it's just that they sometimes have the tendency to put on A LOT of salt so we thought we'd take the condiment responsibilities into our own hands! .)
Don't even think about going to a fish and chip shop in Edinburgh, they all expect you to put sauce on it, because there all bad. A good fish and shop would feel insulted if you put sauce on it. Sorry, been here a number of years, had to cross the border to England to get a good one. .... And I Come From Ireland....
