When you eat fish ‘n’ Chip in the open air out of the box, you eat them with your fingers rather than the itty bitty wooden fork they supply. It tastes better with fingers, lol.
Best fish and chips are usually eaten outside and usually on the coast, they just seem to taste better with the sea air. I’m English and I’ve got a few favourites, there’s a few favourites I have but they are in the North of England one is in Whitby North Yorkshire the other is a place called Coleman’s at South Shields on the North East coast
The best places for fish and chips in the UK are on the coast, no question. But if you're in London I recommend The Seashell in Lisson Grove, just round the corner from Marylebone Station and a few minutes walk from Abbey Road studios. It's not the cheapest you'll find, but definitely worth the premium prices. Although there are a few honourable exceptions, London pubs are not the best places to try them for the first time.
Please, try to stop eating and talking at the same time. Sorry, I was brought up to chew with my mouth closed, not to talk with a mouthful of food and a variety of other meal based etiquette. Also, North Yorkshire = Fish and Chip royalty. Even as a Scarborian, I'll admit, Whitby has got that perfected. (If you've heard of Scampi, Whitby Scampi is like God tier level...even if they are a bit odd and Vampiric in nature....the locals, not the Scampi)
The best fish and chips in the UK are your first fish and chips in the UK.I've eaten them all over the country for the last 50 years and they looked pretty perfect to me.If there's fishing boats and seagulls not far from the chippy you're onto a winner.Glad you loved them so much it's my favorite meal along with a full English breakfast.Take care.
@@JordanJourneys if you want to use a metal fork you'll have to sit down inside as if you eat with a metal fork walking around or even on a bench it's possible that the police will stop you using " a dangerous weapon " for sure if you are using a knife . Well done for eating more than one food on a fork as most Americans on TH-cam / television and films seem to just eat one type of food at a time , more than one small piece of food on a fork gives a lot more flavours more so when you're having a full English , so well done
They wont try it if you are watching them so get your back to a wall and keep your eyes on them. I've eaten pizza with a crowd of seagulls stood in front of me waiting for the crusts
It's very rare that you get a decent disposable fork from a takeaway chippy. Depending what's being eaten, people tend to use their hands. I always keep a couple of decent forks in my car for such situations. Been really enjoying watching videos of ppl reacting to proper fish and chips for the first time and you're reaction seems to be standard 👍 great to see. Now I'm absolutely starving.... and i know EXACTLY what I'm gonna get to eat lol
@JordanJourneys, Down here in Australia in our Fish & Chip Shops (Chippies) is that you would Never Ever get Mushy Peas with your Fish & Chip Orders at any Chippie Shop anywhere here from places of any Towns &/or Cities all over Australia at all but the only thing you can only get is Tartare Sauce and also Vinegar and also a Slice of Lemon as well too & beside that (NOT) Only we have both Grilled Fish & Battered Fish but also these is Crumbed Fish that you can also have with your Chips & the Crumbed Fish Fillets is covered in Bread Crumbs instead of Batter of course.
@JordanJourneys, Also, I forgot to mention to you that you can get Crumbed Fish in New Zealand at any of their very own Fish & Chip Shops (Chippies) as well too of course. If you do come down here to either Australia &/or New Zealand, then you should try out the Crumbed Fish food products as well too of both countries of course.
…just to say thanks so much for great content, so envious of your youth, enthusiasm, lust for life, nothing I still can’t do but so wish I’d done it your age, continue to have an amazing adventure it’s really inspiring, you’re a natural travel journalist, because you seem genuinely like a really decent bloke, live life to the full and enjoy every minute! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Jonathan! Thanks mate… really appreciate your comment man I’m doing my best just get out and live my life as freely as I can and enjoy every day! Cheers bro hope you’re doing well!
Wow that's so expensive for such a small portion and not even the real deal. Cod and chips the true meal and still available in my home town for half that price with twice as much on the plate. So sorry you came so far to try this traditional treat and then got ripped off 😡
Great video and in the Barbican too , I was stationed at the Royal Navy Hospital back in the 70s Sadly it no longer exists as a hospital. As for eating out get yourself a SPORK carry it on a key ring or keep in your rucksack. Its a combination fork &spoon all in one, can buy from camping/ outdoor type of shops.
One of the best hospitals we lost. I was patient on a2 from May 76 fir a few months. My mate was on ward below and he was given a beer a day to help recovery.

Harry Heywood's in Linthwaite, Huddersfield are the best fish and chips I've had. Interesting fact, it's owned by gorgeous George off the movie Snatch 👌
Most chip shops use proper cooking fat, it's only some chip shops that use vegetable oil. So that's probably why your chips at home don't taste like the ones you get over here as the cooking medium is different.
Fun video! Thank you! Did you get to see the American flag down on Plymouth docks? Seeing as this was posted several months ago, it's too late to give suggestions, but the next time you're in the UK, and you like the fish, I highly recommend trying the plaice and / or the skate.
This video made me hungry even though I just had a big breakfast. Never heard of "mushy peas" before though. Looks like vomit but so does the Dutch pea soup and that stuff is really good 👌
BRO. I'm a historian of fish and chips. These aren't fish and chips. The only place that do great fish and chips are Seasides in the UK up north and Scotland. The fish here looks steam rolled. The Fish up north are 3 x as thick in fillet and cheaper, London for you.

i dont know meany that use the fork we all just dig into it with our fingers
Curry sauce all day
The british way is "one of each with mushy peas and scraps" regretfully not wrapped in news paper.
Best fish n chips are done in Whitby, made by magpies if you don't believe me ask James Martin.
Dude you are impressively tall, fair play
Haha yeah that’s what I’m best at…. Being tall
@@BP-kx2ig Mate, buddy, pal, Bro
@@JordanJourneys Making great content to mate
Wow....don't want to piss on your fire but that looks like a kids portion..
A kids portion!? I don’t believe it that was pretty big
@@JordanJourneys ....no , definitely small. Anyway , if you enjoyed it that's all that counts..🙂
@@JordanJourneys what on GODS OWN are you talking bout? that is a small.
Please tell me they arnt that gluten free shite. Who rhe feck Eats gluten free. I have severe ins and I still eat gluten.
Haha, only my mates was gluten free not mine
Are you in the world of the hobbits or are you juat really tall?
Come too Scotland,,,Best Fish & Chips Ever,,,,Fact,,,,, Shouldn't have Skin on the Fish,,,Disgusting
I love skin on the beautiful fresh fish .

It's how they eat out there, it was painful for me to sit in a restaurant in America for that and slapping chops.
@@tobytaylor2154 Yeah, I spent 4+ years over there, and I've never been so irked out by table "etiquette"
Personally I'd have had cod rather than haddock - £12.50 is a bit dear - mind you I'm from the north ( and the fish is bigger here ).
That 12.50 hurt but I had to do what I had to do. I’ve heard good things about the north, where should I go to try your favorite fish n chips
@@JordanJourneys Anywhere on the Fylde coast in Lancashire or the coast of Scotland ! Expect to pay about £7.00 !
The best fish and chips in the UK are your first fish and chips in the UK.I've eaten them all over the country for the last 50 years and they looked pretty perfect to me.If there's fishing boats and seagulls not far from the chippy you're onto a winner.Glad you loved them so much it's my favorite meal along with a full English breakfast.Take care.

Fish n chips is definitely one of my favorite foods

Better be good for 12 quid!! 7 quid up north in Lancashire 😁
I have heard all the better prices it just breaks my heart lol. Food was really good though!
Down here in Kent cheaper as well. Average about 8 quid for Cod.
7 quid same price as the women
Papas fish and chips boulevard weston super mare not that far from where you are in Plymouth
up north is better for fish n chips
You know the score andrew mate, get to Blackpool area or northeast near Scottish Borders!
@@EllisWR look at you texting like you are british lol, nottingham mate best ever, more north the better they are
It looks like I’ve gotta go north I’ve heard it too many times now
I’m on my way there soon hopefully
@@andrewwood8706 I'm from Lancashire mate
Seagulls at the seaside will steal your fish and chips. Fact
They wont try it if you are watching them so get your back to a wall and keep your eyes on them. I've eaten pizza with a crowd of seagulls stood in front of me waiting for the crusts
Whitby has the best fish n chips.
I’m gone hold you to that Mark
@@JordanJourneys and dracula's Castle from the original book, well worth a visit.
Whitby is also a great place.
Whitby has great fish and and chips but so does Grimsby and Cleethorpes . Grew up there and fish and chips is amazing.
Love the fish and chips in the UK😘😘😘
It was amazing I miss it already
If you threw a chip in North wales you'd have fine before the seagull even landed.
They are quick
It's very rare that you get a decent disposable fork from a takeaway chippy. Depending what's being eaten, people tend to use their hands. I always keep a couple of decent forks in my car for such situations.

Try cod next time
Okay enough said
North of England makes the best fish n chips.
Always haddock with skin on.
Cod is flavorless.
£12.50 is expensive. You can find for much cheaper.
You gotta drop a location bro where do I get the cheap ones!?
Anstruther,Fife.Scotland has won the best fish and chips for years!
Hands down easily the best.

Yeah I need to go to the cheaper parts of England for sure!
Haddock is the best..
We keep all the good haddock up north and send the shitty cod down south haha
Salt and vinegar is ok,but you should try some tartar sauce or even ketchup.
£12.50??? Holyshit thats expensive even today, and prices have shot up in the last year...
I'm happy that you got haddock rather than cod. 🙏👍
And I have no regrets about it either!
@@JordanJourneys I'm from Grimsby in the North of England and we are famous for our fish and chips. X
If you want to visit Grimsby you can stay at my place brother. X
I second that, GY and Cleethorpes have loads of great chippy's 👍
Ye can't have fish an chips without curry
British Fish and Chips, best in the world
This has to be down south lol
You are correct! Plymouth
@@JordanJourneys I was going to ask where you were, but as soon as I saw the signs pointing to The Barbican and The Hoe, I figured it out.
You are a great advertisement for fish and chips , I am so hungry
Hahaha, I had to go eat again in the middle of editing it looked soo good
Whitby. End of.
Is that where the best fish n chips lives?
@@JordanJourneys No. Torbay.
Great video and in the Barbican too , I was stationed at the Royal Navy Hospital back in the 70s Sadly it no longer exists as a hospital. As for eating out get yourself a SPORK carry it on a key ring or keep in your rucksack. Its a combination fork &spoon all in one, can buy from camping/ outdoor type of shops.
I have since gotten a spork haha it would’ve come in handy that day
One of the best hospitals we lost. I was patient on a2 from May 76 fir a few months. My mate was on ward below and he was given a beer a day to help recovery.
I was back in Raleigh as ships Company in the sick bay by then . But yes our Navy hosps were great places to work too
Dammit man , now I have to nip to the chippy.😂
Hahaha as you should!
Start Bay inn in Torcross (Devon) is epic for fish and chips.
Adding this one to the list ✅
come up north to yorkshire for real fish and chips.
👀 might have to…
@@JordanJourneys yes north east coast line Whitby area👍
@@richardmell299 agreed 100%!
Please show some respect to us Brits by not trying to imitate one of our sacred greetings.
Don't be so nasty
Makes me grateful to be British 😊
Check out food review club on here that guy travels everywhere in search of the best chippy around the UK 🇬🇧
Great comment! I will go check it out
Why do Brits deliberately mislead visitors for a laugh? "You have to use the wooden fork to eat the fish". No you don't. Instead of struggling to use the fork you can use your fingers if you prefer. And " you must have vinegar". No you don't. Only if you like vinegar. Why do we do these things? Americans can unfortunately be easily lead in these things.
Hahah I love vinegar that’s the best way to have it and ya the fork suckd
Yeah, like Yanks don't mess with tourists, ever. Anyway, it's revenge for Americans always asking us if we're Australian. 😉
Harry Heywood's in Linthwaite, Huddersfield are the best fish and chips I've had. Interesting fact, it's owned by gorgeous George off the movie Snatch 👌
Most chip shops use proper cooking fat, it's only some chip shops that use vegetable oil. So that's probably why your chips at home don't taste like the ones you get over here as the cooking medium is different.
Totally need to make a food review channel bro good content got another sub here 👌
Ashvale all the way up in Aberdeen scotland is banging. But yeh jumbo sausage chips and curry sauce is amazing my dude.
I appreciate it bro, I think this channel is headed in that direction! I love food too much
Curry sauce is amazing I’ll see if I have time to check it out!
Fun video! Thank you! Did you get to see the American flag down on Plymouth docks?

...from Asia 🌏 Hope you enjoy Europe and UK with its fish n chips/fries 😉
Thanks Sab I’m enjoying it for sure, I’ll be back in Asia in a couple of months! Look out for some Vietnamese vlogs!
Hahaha I was gonna say oh the mushy peas looks like guac and then you say "like throw up"
Hahaha yeah guac is probably more appealing
This video made me hungry even though I just had a big breakfast. Never heard of "mushy peas" before though. Looks like vomit but so does the Dutch pea soup and that stuff is really good 👌
Haha sometimes the most disgusting looking foods are the best just a bowl of flavor
Mushy peas are Marrow Fat peas. They naturally cook to a mush. Not normal garden peas mashed as a lot of people think. The taste is different.
Teds in Southampton is on or St Merys chippy is also amazing in Southampton
BRO. I'm a historian of fish and chips. These aren't fish and chips.
The only place that do great fish and chips are Seasides in the UK up north and Scotland.
The fish here looks steam rolled. The Fish up north are 3 x as thick in fillet and cheaper, London for you.
Smoked haddock supper is what you need and some mushy
Fish and chips price has gone so high in UK!
It’s crazy!
How tall are you m8
Hahahaha I’m about 6’11”
Hi 👋
Ahoy
our fish shops dont use Malt vinegar and throw the fork use ur hands, for the best fish n chips go up North get it fried in beef dripping
Wow…. My mouth just watered. Yeah you won’t see me using that fork again
I have not eaten that crap in 28 years.
Chicken curry is the national dish,why eat that fried crap,why,just why.
Chicken Curry will have its chance as well. But that fried fish definitely isn’t crap, tooo good for that
@@JordanJourneys Anything fried is not good for you brother.
Fries??? Wtf
