@@Gblonkers I spent some time in Middlesbrough and some of the surrounding coastal towns. I very much enjoyed my time there. That’s what got me hooked on eating my fish with malt vinegar.
british fish and chips is NEVER thin fries, always thickly cut, and cod is most peoples fish of choice, many have mushy peas. coleslaw is not what goes with it, you can not beat an ice cold coke too, washes it down very well
@@jimsmith1998 we beat you guys in a war so we wouldn’t have to listen to you anymore. I threw your gross baby food peas in the harbor along with your tea.
You definitely need to get Mike Chen from strictly dumplings to do a collab with you so you can take him around to see all the good vending machine food!
as a Brit, i would say this definitely wasn't a "traditional" fish & chips, however i will also admit that it did look good, the fish looked nice and flaky and fresh, the batter was crisp albeit a little too puffy rather than the crispy, bubbly, crunchy batter it is here and the chips looked ok although again, like you said, they were really "fries" rather than chips (here the only chips you will ever get from any fish & chip shop will be thick big chips even the worst place in the country wouldn't dream of using fries instead). Little odd to see it come with coleslaw and no vinegar though. As for my favourite type of fish, it's got to be Cod for me.
@@indochinajames3372 you can have whatever you want with yours and i do like baked beans, but if we're talking traditional Fish & Chips then there's no place for them.
"Traditional" depends on where you're from. If you're from Southern Ontario like Ken (and myself), that was a pretty traditional fish and chip meal. Halibut, chips (thick cut in house, or like these, likely frozen from a huge potato processor) and cole slaw. I know hailbut is rare at UK chippies, but if you can find some, do yourself a favour and try. It's delicious.
@@johnmckenzie4639 that may be what's normal in Canada, or even just your part of Canada, but you can't call it "traditional", i feel fairly certain if you ask someone about Traditional fish and chips they'll think of British and not Canadian. There's a difference between what's traditional in your location and the traditional method or style etc... of a dish
I'm from England and here I've never been served fish and chips that looks like that, it's always thick chunky chips and a big whole side fillet of fish
So despite public health warnings to keep Thanksgiving celebrations to one household - your own - you have decided to go to two different households, no doubt with older parents who are more at risk. No wonder that 2 weeks after long weekends our infection rates spike. People have stopped caring.
I'm from England 🇬🇧 most of our chippys are chunky chips and some with batter chips aswell can't beat it, fish chips and mushy peas and even chips hop style curry sauce on side
We do thicker chips over here, because the smaller thinner 'chips' are called french fries, not chips. It also has to be cod, with vinegar dashed over the chips.
@@chris.breadz there’s no rules! Just how we do it over here which is what he asked, and if you’re having traditional fish and chips in England it has to be Cod with classic thicker cut chips
As soon as I saw that I was annoyed lol dont say its the best fish place you have ever been and they can't even take sometime to make fresh tartar sauce lol been in the food industry since 2005 , its so simple lol
I don't know if you ever give the Canadian Ketchup Shoutout Ken for restaurants supporting FRENCH'S ketchup but I think that could be a really cool new addition to your videos that also show how much some businesses support Canada! The FRENCH's take over of the tomato operation in Lemington is close to home for me so I really go out of my way to support FRENCH's for any purchases I make now! HUNT''s too!
Aussie here 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺, I love crumbed barramundi with squeezed lemon juice. Crumbed COD is ok but a bit too fishy. Throw in some potato scallops and a battered savaloy and you're good to go!
Favourite kinds of fish for Fish & Chips are, and almost always have been, Cod and Haddock. Also, the chips that are sold at Chippies in the UK are, on the most part, big and thick (Ooh Lala).
Next time you're in Calgary or Okotoks, try "The British Chippy". 100% authentic to what you'll find in Manchester, including battered sausage, mushy peas, curry sauce, thick chips, Irn Bru to drink, etc
Hey Ken! How come you don't use the Hawk Screech anymore when you tell us where you are? I miss that! It's become a staple of your videos!? Cheers to you and your community! 😘
Halibut, Pollock, Haddock, Cod, they all make good fish and chips.. My go to place here in London, ON has it all, next best I’ve had was in Fredericton....delicious!! Too bad they use that packaged Tartar sauce.
I love Mrs. H's, it's worth the drive up, and you didn't have a line up! Last time I was there, we couldn't find a place to park and had to drive around for a bit. So worth it!
Unfortunatly the service there is terrible....was there one time and the girl behind counter was extremely rude to an elder. She wouldn't explain the portions to the elder lady and told her to hurry up. At that moment I cussed out the girl behind the till and left my order on the counter and walked out. Will never go back again. And I live minutes up the road. Long house grill up the road is better anyway.
That is nothing like British fish and chips. Chips need to be chunky and the batter looks wrong. Also cod is the thing we mostly have. But what you had probably was good
Hey, I am the guy who sent you 10 CAD, back when you ate that ""salad"" on live. Well, unfortunately 3 weeks went by without any 24hrs of stealth camping. Can you explain this?
Price is pretty normal for decent fish & chips. And I wouldn’t call those skinny fries because the only ones really bigger would be steak fries, which I’ve never seen in fish & chips. McDonald’s would be skinny fries and Steak ‘n Shake would be shoestring fries.
Hey from northeast USA here (Pennsylvania) and when i lived in louisiana i think i developed a big love for catfish! It was very popular and omg it is so good 🤤 Except our fish in chips in louisiana is served with either Fries Hush Puppies (corn bread bites) Or Fried Okra balls Now living in colorado i usually get Cod!
@@Dave-good36 Duno if you watched the video but it was clearly chips and not fries he was served. They are similar to "The wee hurrie" "Welbecks" "Ferries" "Codfathers" and "Katchs" to name a few shops in my town, one of which won the best British take away of the year for its traditional fish and chips. Just because it's not identical to your local does not mean its not proper fish and chips and curry sauce was not even a thing originally in the UK.
I am British and fish and chips is like religion to us lol I love cod or place and it as to be big thick cut chips .and lots off salt and malt vinegar .and if you feeling a bit adventures try it with curry sauce gravy or musshy peas
I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving with your family. And I'm really enjoying your 24 hours fast food challenge. I'm enjoying your stealth camping videos.
fish and chips, we usually use hoki fish in new zealand, but blue cod is nice but expensive fish in south island nz, and red snapper is found in north island nz. nice video the fish looked delicious, the chips not chunky enough, prefer chunkier chips :)
Chips are always suspect at places that arent legit British. You can tell from the appearance they arent chipped on site. But are bought in and factory made.
Thick chips all the way here in 🏴 Ken. with plenty of salt & vinegar. Jumbo battered sausage goes down very nicely as a cheaper alternative to cod or haddock if you’re ever over here again. We have a number of fantastic chippys local to us, though have our usual go-to takeaway every week of two, often on a Friday night. Another great review Ken, keep up the good work! 👍🏻
I have not had decent fish and chips since my last trip to England. If you want good fish here in Florida you have to catch, clean, and cook it yourself, strangely Bought the same type of steering wheel tray. Mostly it’s been McDonald’s Sausage Egg McMuffins on it. Still I can’t bear tartar sauce. Much rather have hot sauce or malt vinegar...
Definitely one of the best meals on the planet! Have a great week and Canadian Thanksgiving, Ken and Family.
Thank you, Cory!
@@KBDProductionsTV fish and chips are the best.
Fuck u cory

Try honey mustard sauce with it ken
You gotta make your own tartar sauce if you’re running a small fish and chips shop... cmon.
For sure! Packaged tartar is awful!
him using a fork and knife for this just grinds my gears idk why 😂
I’d forgive him if the fork and knife weren’t so small 💀
Family guy reference lol 😂
Seriously fish and chips are considered finger foods not knife and fork 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
When I eat my fish and chips I need malt vinegar. my favorite type of fish would probably be cod. With a light seasoning of salt.
