    Most of the audience have no idea that Nicholas Pettas (older guy) was a fierce and fearless K-1 (professional marshal arts) fighter standing against far bigger champions and other world class peers. A kind of legend in Japan. Anyway the golden rule regarding fish & chips is that you must start eating it within 60 seconds of it being out of the deep fryer. You will not be disappointed insofar as this rule is met particularly in Japan where fish of all kinds with sushi-grade freshness is available wherever you go.

    It's just past 10:00am in the UK, Playing this video I really want fish and chips! The Hobgoblin looks like a chain of pubs in the UK called Wetherspoons, the pubs are named after interesting places and events in British history. Glad to see that Cider is beginning to make his way into Japan. I live about 30 minutes away from where Thatchers is produced in the UK (Somerset) it's nice to see it featured. I'm glad you enjoyed the Great British staple that is fish and chips, the fish batter sounded fantastic! Yet another great video!

      I get why you think that but it looks a lot better to me than most Wetherspoons and the quality and size of the food looks a lot better too. I won't ever eat in W'spoons but I definitely will go to that place when I'm there in a few weeks (I'm staying nearby) and will try all 3 of those meals - on separate visits! I just remembered I've been to the Hobgoblin before but I didn't eat anything that time.

    Fish and chips used to be served in newspaper, it started in the second world war because of paper rations, but by the mid 1980s it was decided it was unsafe for the food to come into contact with newsprint without a greaseproof paper liner. Nowadays they're mostly served in plain paper. I think some places used fake newspaper wrappers for a while? I miss it, I remember the smell of newsprint blending with the vinegar adding some extra aroma to the dish.

    Neat, cod isn't the most popular fish in fish and chip shops in australia (probably because of a lack of cod?) Here when you go in and buy fish and chips, 90% of the time you're eating Flake, a local term that covers a few different fish, but mostly it's shark meat.

      Cod is cold water fish so probably has to be frozen and shipped a long way to reach australia. In the UK there is also haddock in the chip shop which is a better fish than cod, it has better flavour and is less mushy. I have had frozen fish fillets using new zealand Hoki which had large chunky flakes and was just like cod, it didn't look like Flake looks in the videos I've seen
