    We used to love the Whaler, was a regular stop for us on way back from the Racing… It then became greasy and bland.. The Frying Pan just a bit up the road is far superior.. It has strange opening hours though

    There is another good one in Wetherby called The Frying Pan not that far away which is also excellent.

  • @paulgillbanks2111
    @paulgillbanks2111 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's dark simply because the batter had been overcooked. Many fish and chip shops think a good fish and chips should be dark in appearance. Luckily the chips seemed to have escaped overcooking.

    Honestly the best fish and chips for me is crunchy over done chips bagged up in a complimentary roll. Followed by a twice battered fish on top. A lot of chip shop make the chip an afterthought and that makes me mad like you I'm from the North East which is considered the best place for fish and chips and I'd gladly show you the best paying for my round up there, xx

    In your Fish and Chips reviews, can you stop using a fork? Use your fingers. It will taste better.
    If you are ever in Northern Ireland, try out the Fish and Chips from "The Galley", Annalong. Order a Jumbo Haddock and Chips with lashings on salt and vinegar. Take your Fish and Chips down to the seafront, open the paper, and eat the delicious Fish and Chips with your hands. Maybe even a slice of thick white Hovis loaf with a thick spread of real butter...to make a lovely chip butty

  • @richies1308
    @richies1308 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    A light fish such as cod or haddock needs a delicate batter to compliment it.
    This batter looks too dark and acrid, therefore overpowering the fish.

Also a onion bhajji in there with a shopping bag full of salad. And a chilli sauce I would be happy to intravenus it into my blood stream. And garlic mayo in a tub. Probably shut down now and I can't remember the name of the kebab shop now because one wrecked lol.😆😆😆😆😆😆 Love your videos bro keep em coming.
