      No such thing as best Fish & Chips; because straight out of a deep-fryer they ALL taste of nothing but cooking oil.

    The only thing I've learned from watching a half dozen fish-and-chips shootout videos is that no one can agree on which place is the best. It seems to be completely subjective.

    Pretty sure Fishcoteque is where my dad and I went one year some time ago. We got into a black cab and asked the driver to take us to his favorite chip shop, and he even went inside with us and ordered himself lunch. Aaron Eckhart was in there eating, too.

Then I think that you should definitely go to Barry Island in South Wales and try their Chips from O Shea's as their Chips are by far the best Chips that I have ever had tasted and they were absolutely phenomenal and they are just absolutely fantastic Tom. By the way Tom I have subscribed to your channel I hope you don't mind mate.

      My fav local chippy is Mr Chips in the City of Salford.
      Regular Cod/Haddock & Chips costs £7.75 (6oz)
      Large Cod/Haddock & Chips £9.45 (8oz)
      Small Cod/Haddock & Chips (small) with Mushy Peas £4.50 (3oz)
      I think one great thing about most chippies is the large portions of chips so me and the partner will get two fish and share a portion of chips. It’s more than enough for us.

    The Sea Shell on Lisson Grove, any of the Sutton and Sons, and the one on the top of Poland St, been there ages but think it's changed names a few times now, and the Golden Hind on Marylebone Lane.

    Are you sure they really are made fresh? So many shops no longer make fresh batter and pick the fish out of a box with a coating on it already. Chips are similarly coming from a pre cut bag ie brought to the shop pre cut. Also you don’t really go for tartar sauce, gherkin or pickled onion? I can’t eat them without.

    If you're off the beaten track out east, Ifratelli at the top of West Ham Lane in Stratford are pretty hard to beat. Italian family owned, they've been there since 1966.
    Closed on Mondays like a proper fish and chip shop should be. The traditional reason for this is that people didn't go fishing on Sundays so there would be no fish at the wholesale markets on a Monday morning. So if someone was open on Monday they were selling two day old fish. Doesn't really matter with refrigeration nowadays but it's funny how what once had a good reason begind it has just now become tradition.

    You’ve got to go to Yorkshire for the best fish and chips, end of. Cooking in beef dripping and using the finest quality haddock is what does it.

That FishPlaice looked dreadful.

    I moved to London from the North. Jeez, I had a chippy from Harrogate the other week. Ridiculous! 10/10. Southerners don’t know how to makeF&C but Brockley Rock’s alright for London

    I remember our local fish and chip in Camden Road, Tunbridge Wells having a picture of Arthur Mullard on the wall. Better than John Prescott, I think plus they always had a queue every lunchtime which was something missed these days.

    Southerners make me laugh. Cods is only good for fish cakes. Haddock every time with skin off. But then you eat saveloys and dog fish😅😅😅😅

      That chip on your shoulder is getting heavy, you should take it off.

      I actually prefer cod or haddock with the skin on, it gives it better flavour.

    I am hungry and craving for a good proper British fish and chips. During my days as a foreign student in the 1980s, the meal would be fish n chips, fish bites and chips or chips only, depending on how much money I had in my pocket 😅

    Fishcoteque looked the best one.....but you know i really can't stand fish and chips being served IN A BOX...!!! PLEASE fish and chip owners tell me why you use boxes...to me it's about portion control ...they can be stingy with the portions......but surely paper is easier and cheaper..?? I like my fish.....and the chips wrapped in paper so the chips get nice and flavoured from the fish as they mingle together in the enclosed paper....or if i want a portion of chips to take away "open".. they give you hideous plastic trays instead of paper...it drives me nuts Tom....these chippies bang on about still being original but they're not. I just think the cardboard boxes dry out the food ...and i like a bit of grease with fish and chips...not too much but i can't stand dry chips!! x x

    I love your taxi vlogs, Tom, but it’s also great to have other content as well. Food reviews, places of interest off the beaten track, history. Who better than a friendly, likeable and knowledgeable taxi driver to show us all the real London. Keep up the great work!!!

    In my local In Edinburgh and was going to have fish and chips , but it's £16 50p, so won't bother.; I will make something at home instead.

    Should have given rating for health as well ie based on oil used, skin kept on the fish, etc. Also you missed out inclusion of green mushy peas, that was a staple part of the British chippie experience for many growing up!

    Fishcotheque my old haunt in the 80s was good then.
    Anyone remember Cousins up the road by St Georges Circus in London Road Saveloys were the best.

    Fish & chips is a sad summary of British "Cuisine". Terribly unhealthy, brown, and bland. And they often add a side of disgusting mushy peas. Jesus, what is wrong with you people?

    Only “£360 quid” for fish and chips in London, and that includes salt and vinegar! Bargain 😂

    Best I've tried is the ideal fish bar in pinner, northwest London, pretty far from the centre but they do some of the best fish and chips I've had!
