    Hello again Tracy and Colin
    Albert Dock is a lovely place to see the history of the docks over the years
    All people want is to relax and enjoy a meal with there families
    When you're paying good money to eat
    They should take more notice what they doing
    What they want is people in and out as soon as possible and on to the next customer
    Thanks to yourselves in highlighting the issues with place's to eat
    The bosses should take more interest on what they are doing not just the profits there making
    As ever thank you Tracy and Colin
    For your latest vlog and see you both in the next one
    Take care both of you

      Hi Karen, it was really disappointing.. i felt so sorry for the families that were in there waiting to get their food 🥲🥲
      I think because of where it is , they are taking for granted that they’ll always have customers ( tourists) … and sadly they are probably right !!! But it’s a lot of money to pay for nothing but grease & empty chips 🤬

    I worked as a chef in Australia for years and ended up as one of the highest paid . I'm not saying this to brag but to qualify me to comment . It's obvious to me that you know what you are talking about . What I don't understand is why don't places know they are taking good food and turning it into c..p . The main issue always seems to be with the oil/fat . Places often think they are saving money by not replacing / changing the oil as often as necessary . What they don't realise is that they are in fact using more as it becomes ' dead ' and soaks in to the food . I go to the Norfolk Broads quite often and all three fish and chip shops there rated only two out of ten . It's really good to listen to people like yourselves as I know if you say a place is good it will be .

      Hi John, we agree with everything you said & you clearly know what your talking about 👍🏻
      In lots of cases we feel that these places are just playing to the tourists, who are just going to pay up, eat and never return again so they are not bothered …. I can’t understand why, if you’ve got a business in a great location you wouldn’t want to provide a fabulous quality & quantity meal … they have no integrity at all
      Thank you very much for your kind words & support 🙏🏻 really does mean a lot ❤️❤️

    This should be called “The dead chips episode”. You guys crack me up. You say it as you see it which I love.
    I also agree with Colin. Those chips were like “scraps”. Or as my dad says “warm ups at best”. The best thing about the fish and chips “was the pickles”. That made me laugh.
    I also want to know who legitimately calls themselves “best anything in the world”?!!😂. It’s like a self proclaimed, deluded title!! I’m with your initial reaction Tracy it wasn’t worth marking. I think a 3 was being kind. Even if the inside of the fish was decent the outside wasn’t which kind of defeats its own purpose.
    The one bonus is the beautiful location. The dock on any day has the power to transport the mind to another place. I guess the lesson though is that you should never judge a book by it’s cover. I’d rather had a quality breakfast in a greasy spoon any day of the week.
    From Asda, to cafes, to pubs,to street food, to home baking, to restaurants, you guys really do a brilliant variation of food experience.
    Keep ‘em coming!!

    Hi Tracy and Colin. This food will indeed give visitors to your city a very poor impression- food wise. It's ashamed that the Albert dock serves up such mediocre fish and chips but I guess they have a captive audience who, as you say will only visit once. Both chips (scant portion) and fish looked very greasy, although you thought that the fish tasted ok. The gravy, £1:95? That's a licence to print money if I ever saw one.
    Sorry this was a poor meal for you but it was my kind of review and I really enjoyed it. Btw. the most expensive pickled onions you have ever
    had. Thanks for this vid folks. 😎 Best. Johnny.
