  • Just in time for King Charles III’s coronation, I’m throwing down my version of a classic British chip shop-style fish and chips “chippy tea”, complete with all the trimmings: craggly batter bits, homemade mushy peas and epic curry sauce. I’m no Brit, but dang, this is good. Just don’t forget the malt vinegar.

    Hey Marion, love your videos! Been subscribed for years now and I happened to be British. I have to say when doing fish and chips I usually salt my white fish first and set in the fridge to draw a bit of moisture out and firm up the flesh for a meatier bite .

    I've been looking for a recipe for mushy peas for so long. Thank you! (I'm german, so my further ideas will be quite outlandish, too ;-)
    I do add some vinegar into the cooking water for the fries. It creates a rougher exterior, resulting in more crunch.
    When out of the water, I let them sit for a bit. For the moisture to evaporate before I put 'em in the fridge. (Or outside. Winters can be chilly enough, here.)
    When chef John made fish and chips, he pattted the fish chunks dry very thorougly and then coated them in rice flour instead of corn flour. Rice flour is famous for absorbing liquid even better than corn flour (or corn starch, depending on where you're from.)
    And also uses some rice flour in the batter.
    "Glen and friends cooking" once explained, how rice flour was way back in the days even a substitute for wheat flour in the UK, when rice was grown in the US (the Carolina's) and was shipped to the UK to be taxed, when the US where still a colony.
    This is all I know about fish'n'chips.

      Most USA made malt vinegar is to weak for my taste. I like it fairly strong like Balsamic can be. I use it on the fish only, and use other sauces for the chips. Yes, you can water blanch the chips a bit before oil frying. Many at home will not take the time to cook chips/fries properly.

  • @thesandwichfreak3780
    @thesandwichfreak3780 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    In the US we called them "English Peas"; however, I only used them when I am making fried rice. The green of the peas and the orange of the carrots provide a pleasing color contrast when making shrimp, chicken, pork, or house-fried rice. However, for Mush Peas I would cook them in a chicken, pork, or beef broth vs. water for the purposes of elevating their flavor profile.

    if you make it to Edinburgh you'll get asked if you want 'salt n sauce'? which is basically salt and 'broon sauce' (brown fruity tangy sauce) watered down with vinegar. great on the both the fish and chips!! A jumbo battered sausage wouldn't go amiss either :) we call the crunchy bits 'the scraps' and my husband insists on adding malt vinegar to the mushy peas (maybe that's a Devon thing)

    I used to love fish and chips in the UK, but I never had a curry sauce with it. I left the UK in 1976 and things have probably changed. I do remember a ghastly, fluorescent yellow curry sauce from those days, but I was never drunk enough to eat it. We used to eat fish and chips with tartare sauce on the fish and tomato ketchup on the chips. Good stuff. The best I've had in Australia was at the Husky pub in Huskisson NSW between around 2011, after their reno, and 2012. Flathead and good sized chips. Really good. Mushy peas are great with a pie.
    After watching this, I'll be looking for a good fish and chips in the near future.

    Curry sauce is definitely not just a northern thing! It's the norm here in the Westcountry too. Or mushy peas. You rarely find gravy in chippies round here though, which is sad.

    There's no controversy in having an Australian chef do 'British' fish and chips. Modern Australian society started off life as a British colony in the 1700's. It's come a long, long way since then, and the 'Britishness' of the country is a lot less prominent than it was even as recently as the 1960s (listen to the videos on TH-cam depicting Australian life from that era, and you'll see and hear what I mean). But the UK and Australia are still close, even if they are on the other side of the world from each other. We are family to each other, and should celebrate the fact. PS/ I've had some great fish and chips in Sydney. PPS/ I do my own fish and chips at home on the basis of a recipe that I got from a chef in Germany. Go figure - good food knows no boundaries. Peace - and out.

      The German chef probably had a recipe passed down to him by a squaddie. The British army had 80000 troops based on the Rhine at one point and had a presence there for 50 years. I met an ex para sergeant running a chippy in Mönchengladbach about 20 years ago.

    I’m over 70 years old and my mum worked in a fish and chip shop in North East England when I was a kid. I love fish and chips and what you made was nigh on perfect.
    However, mushy peas were very much a southern thing which has eventually spread north (define ‘traditional’), curry sauce is even more recent, chips were never three times or even double cooked and the accompaniment were non-brewed condiment (similar to but not malt vinegar), pickled eggs or, maybe, a giant pickled onion.

    • @InnuendoXP
      @InnuendoXP ปีที่แล้ว

      I will say to me at least, double cooked chips are an improvement. And to an operation with the facility for it, you can practically cook chips to order.
      Though as an Australian, that's more what I'm used to. Less a hot counter & more par-cooked fried items having been first blanched in oil, then tossed into a large fry basket in the vat for 3-5 minutes all fresh, crisp & ready at the same time.

While I would never assume to be able to make fish & chips as great as what is served there, this might get me close to reliving that most wonderful meal! But they didn't serve mushy peas with their fish. We got cole slaw (which I never expected), vinegar as well as homemade tartar sauce. The chips were, of course, "chunky!"

We have a tub of Yueng's chinese curry sauce in the panty which we doctor up abit for our home chippy curry sauce, using garlia with dried apricots and golden sultana's. My local chippy adds some chopped up sultana's, just enough to add flavour and the spicy version they just add cayenne pepper. Your chips are way better than most chippy chips but considering 80% here are sold to pissed out of our minds brits quailty is not to high on our list hot/greasey/salty drowned in malt vinegar with a sauce curry or what they locally call "Thai chilli garlic sauce" would not recommend it while sober as for the Thai bit no idea, just seen a 5kg tub of paste with that printed on it and could not read the brands name and cba to ask as it is iffy at best.

    Yeah you've done a gourmet cheffy gastropub fish n chips there. :P (which is lovely!) The so-called "classic" British fish and chips would be from a takeaway fish bar. They wouldn't be triple frying their chips and they'd come out soggier and be falling apart when you pick them up. The kind of fish we'd always use would be cod or haddock, but if they're hard to get in Australia then that's fine, as long as it's a similar kind of white fish. The only thing I would have added about the curry sauce is that it's generally a mild, slightly sweeter Chinese style one. Lots of people like malt vinegar over their chips, but personally I'm more of a mayo guy. Great job Marion!!

    If no-one has already commented the crunchy bits have several names. As I am from Yorkshire we call them 'scraps' when ordering from the fish and chip shop. I currently live in North Devon and I believe they call them 'scribbles'? Growing up between Yorkshire and North Devon the crunchy bits were more common up north in Yorkshire and they were set aside alongside the cooked fish or battered sausages etc. In North Devon I can't say in confidence as I don't know not eating them too frequently but I think if you ask you can have them!

    Looks so good! All I would say is that one of the things that makes chips from the chippy taste so good is that they’ve been fried in the same oil as the fish, so the chips have a very slight fish flavour. So maybe cook the fish in the oil before you do the final frying of the chips?
    Looks perfect otherwise :)

    Ideally you want to boil those potatoes a bit longer till they are in the brink of falling apart. You have to be careful to fish them out ( get it) in one piece and get them into the fridge once cooled . The reason for getting them to the point where they are so fragile is that you get a much craggier surface on the chip to become crispy . They won’t be triple cooking them in the chippy like this but if you want Heston Blumenthal quality this is the first step

    GREAT! Your Curry Sauce recipe is good - but needs to be just a bit thicker. - I add Mint to the Mushy Peas & I always eat Fish & Chips with White Bread & Butter. But, I'm a Northerner in the UK.

    If I were to try this fish batter recipe on chicken, would I need to do anything differently? This batter reminds me of Long John Silver which I grew up eating here in the US. I'd love to try and replicate it but with chicken. 😅 I can't stop coming back to this video for the fish frying, it just looks so delicious.

    Chip shop curry usually has bits in it not just sauce the bits are dice and fruity a pale yellow dont have a particular flavour up north fish n chips are traditionally served with mushy peas and tartare sauce in a resteraunt or in a chippy to take out you can get mushy peas chip shop or chinese curry gravy some even do baked beans or a pickled egg and dont forget the scraps ( bits of batter) drench them in vinegar and salt

    Almost perfect, and better than 90% you would find in the uk.
    To take to the very top 1% world wide percentile, some personal opinions...
    Fish should be haddock, all coastal chippies used to keep the superior haddock and send the cod (bottom feeders) in land.
    Batter looks amazing as is, but the extra flavour from a beer batter instead of soda gives it that extra, newcastle brown ale preferably.
    fish needed slightest bit less cooking, maybe 30 seconds overcooked for full succulence. should be translucent flakes.
    Fry could have been in beef dripping, (I know unrealistic for 1 portion), but the flavour difference is immense.
    Personal taste, though sometimes scorned upon, a touch of mint in the peas.
    Please note, this is in no way a criticism, the fact I commented at all means that I thought tours looked amazing and just offering my personal opinions to reach MY objective perfection.

    I worked at a restaurant here in the UK with a great British chef. He seasoned the fish with salt beforehand to firm it up a bit, and like Marion, also put a bit of turmeric into the batter to ensure a perfect yellow colour without having to fry too long… Marion’s looked perfect!

    Triple cooking the chips, and the mushy peas--basically what I was taught as a kid by my grandmother. I was surprised to see dried/soaked peas here--rarely hear anyone else mention them these days, but they're amazing as part of a roast dinner too.

    ayayay you were doing so well on the mushy peas! all perfect, but a true Brit doesn't need butter or cream - maybe a little salt. For me I don't see mushy peas and curry sauce as mutually exclusive - more the better. Corn flour on the fish? hmm worth a try. I use beer instead of the soda water - has the advantage that the cook gets to drain the unfinished bottle. Thanks for the curry sauce recipe idea - looking forward to try how that goes!

      @@Marionskitchen Your friend Amy was talking nonsense, most people don't use vinegar on their chips as it makes them soggy. Salt is preferred to sprinkle over the chips. The chips should be crispy, so they can be dipped in the curry sauce. Which should be a pale brown, not yellow and similar in taste to the mild curry in a Chinese takeaway.

    We haven't had a proper British fish n' chips for ages, I mean decades..! 🦀In the early 1980's, an English couple had opened the very first truly British fish n' chips shop in Dubai, it was called 'Frier Tuck' and was very popular during lunch hours in downtown Deira. They had most of the popular British fish, sole, plaice, cod etc (which I think were flown over by the BA flights to and from London) plus the local UAE fish like snapper, grouper etc. The shop was there for only a year or two and then closed down.✳
    Here in New Zealand, we have never had a proper fish n' chips. 🐟The outlets are substandard and most use animal fat to fry, which makes the batter soggy and taste bad. I am a home cook and I will try your recipe, the chips would take a bit of doing, but its a rustic, once in a while fare that we will be having. Thanks for sharing.🌟
