Mine 😂😂😂😂
Thanks. I
Jesus my guts are rumbling good dollop of tartare sauce .Cruelty to big ol' boys who have just finished checking a trap line had a brew and a cheese nutty.Cruel John very cruel lol ,looks bloody amazing.Right back out off to nearest chippy.All the best stay safe enjoy your meal.Regards Tony
@@tonyashton780 i liked the sound of the batter crumbling. I was hungry within the first few seconds of the video and too glued to screen to get up and sort somet out to eat.
@@KitsFishing Lol looked nice
I will always think of tartar sauce as T Rex sauce now, fish looks great.
Haha 😂 you’ll be getting some funny looks in your local chippy 😬
That intro had one of the most satisfying crunches I've ever heard!!!
- I loved that crunch. 💙😆
Shatteringly crispy! That's how you know its good!Bravo 👏 👏 👏
It was soooo good! I could eat it every night! 😋
Absolutely love watching Jim cook anything but that man knows how to fry fish, that crackling sound was music to my ears!!! Stay safe and healthy and Happy Holidays Fish Locker family!!!!!
- Thats the proof isn't it. That crunch!! Oh my word it was good. 😊
Oh man, that meal looked absolutely amazing. Sounded great too. Jim is so relaxing to watch. As smooth as a freshly buttered bannister.
- Haha. Never heard that analogy before.lol
Nice cook up!! My wife who was brought up in bolton calls the crispy bits scraps. I grew up in the south and never heard of people eating the left over bits of batter so don’t have a name for them. But where we live in Brazil they would mix the scraps with sugar and call it bolo de chuva which means rain cake!!! And it’s very good!!
- Whatever you call them we like eating them. 😊
Great that John. loved Hannah's comment about "the money shot!"
- She loves a good money shot. 😊
Watching him cook is a true joy and inspiration to watch 🥰 I can tell he's been doing this for years 😋
- He is wonderful isn't he. We are so lucky to have him. 😊
Eating a fish finger sandwich as I drool over this wonderful dish
- Haha. Cant knock a fish finger sarny!!
The first time I retired I had a fish n chip and burger truck and worked auto races. Made a fortune. This is so second-nature to me - wish I was there !!! Thanks.
- The first time you retired? You mad enough to do it twice?lol
Excellent!! Only problem is I'm hungry now! 🤣🤣. Thank you fish locker team. All the best and tight lines Charlie 🎣🎣
- Any time mate, all the best 😊
OMG just got in from work and so so hungry now, great vlog from Spargo's Kitchen nice one.
- Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Deffo one of the things I miss from home.. fish and chips but with mushy peas...
- Nothing better is there.
Never heard of keeping the flour cold....I`ll take your word for it for sure. That looked amazing
- I won't argue with him either, when the end result is that good I'll take his word for gospel. haha.
Yep that's exactly how I make my fish and chips!🐟🐟 Nice!👍
- Cracking recipe isn't it. 😊
Nothing is better then Fish and Chips! Whether you use cod, halibut, and or haddock! It’s the best! Also some malt vinegar!
- Cannot have fish and chips without salt and vinegar. 😊
That looks beyond amazing, Christmas dinner sorted lol ^^, absolutely wonderful
- Georgina, I am not exaggerating when I say that I have eaten fish and chips over 1000 times. And these were up there as being some of the best. 😊
I 've always wondered if Cod was the fish used for ur (U.K.) "Fish and Chips" .... now I know, thnx for the info....another great video John. You've given me a new recipe to try.....thank Jim for the education!!👍
- Most often it is cod, but sometimes Haddock. 😊
This is the only cooking video I watch. He makes it look so easy.
- Jim really is a wonderful chef isn't he 😊
I had to travel over 20 miles (Leighton Buzzard) to get a decent battered cod, not any more though thanks to this video I can now try and do it from home. Note I only mentioned battered cod because where ever I've bought chips from a chip shop they are always disappointing. There is now no excuse for me not to give this a go from home. Spargo's Kitchen is a great addition to the Fish Locker collection of videos. The batter looked to die for as did the chips and sauces. This channel is a real family affair that I never tire of, James naming Tartar Sause as T Rex sauce may catch on. Thanks for posting.
- James is a bit of a trend setter. Haha.
Good video John, A little tip, in the bottom of the frying basket get hold of a small sheet of stainless steel, cut to size & let it rest in the bottom, no need to shake about it will not stick.
My grand kids always ask when visiting for grandads chips as once my daughters did. Lightly coat eack portion of chips with the batter mix & half fry, after about 30 ses in oil with a spatula separate the clump so as not to let them stick together, just like your video cook about 70% ready for second fry. Coor thats my Friday evening meal. Bon appetite.
- I like the idea with the SS in the tray but you lost me with the battered chips.
@@TheFishLocker A good friend who had a fish & chip shop in Truro back in the 80's a former Head chef for Cunard QE 2showed me that by taking a small amount of batter & rolling the chips to coat them then drop into the oil, shake them about to separate them, the end result is really crunchy chips every time, I notice you like squeezems, must appeal to you especially.. Bon App...I could send a photo.
That looks so delicious, my mouth is watering just watching it! You are so lucky having both Hanna and her dad cooking for you.😋🐠
- We are so very lucky aren't we. 😊
Looks delicious John, I’m with you on calling them scraps. Used to get a bag of scraps most days after school and sit by the river with my best mate
- Haha. Chips, scraps and a fishcake was my thing. 😊
Amazing yet again John your father inlaw cook with such passion 🙌
- He is wonderful isn't he. 😊
You do make me hungry. Scraps as a kid was the best part of going to the chippy, plentiful and free or 2 penneth at least but no fish I bet tasted as good as Jim's. Thanks all.
I agree. “But you need to eat your fish before you eat your scraps..” haha
That cod looked well in and out of it's skin and you could tell it tasted delicious.....Well done John and Spargo's Kitchen fantastic conglomeration Love to all x
- It was pretty damn good mate. Now I consider myself to be somewhat of a fish and chip connoisseur, and these were very very good. 😊
Always 'Scraps' or 'Scrapings' in Durham as a child. Became 'Batter Bits' when we moved down to Nottinghamshire.
But , staying on theme, that fish was a proper bobby dazzler of a result .
Good battered fish always has been , and always will be one of my absolute favourites.
- Thats it mate. Scraps all the way. Aye it was a nice cod. Take it easy mate. 😉👍🏻
Just finished a night shift ....I’m starving watching this lol another cracking video John 👍👌
- Haha. Ive gotten hungry again just doing the comments. lol
Ohh my goodness! I could almost taste that cod! Thank you, so much, for sharing :)
The crackle of the batter. Mmm 🤤
Batter looks perfect, thin and crispy. Hard to find that in a chip shop these days, it's usually thick and stretchy.
- Literally every time I think about it I get hungry again. It was bloomin marvellous!!
I am so hungry now hahaha! Thanks John for the great video!
- Our pleasure Mark. 😊
Just listening to the "crunch" is AMAZING!!! :) I wish we had "smell-o-vision"! :)
- Its all about the crunch isn't it. 😊
Brilliant collaboration again folks. Learning as much from Jim about prep and cooking of my catch as from you about getting the stuff in the boat. I'd say my catch qualities are definitely improving, unfortunately my waistline is increasing too - Keep it coming John
- Haha. You should never trust a skinny cook should you mate. So your doing something right!!! 😊
Oooooooooooo😊 I have only just had my tea..... I am now very hungry again but only now crave for Fish and Chips.........😊 Fantastic John. Many thanks to your Father in Law for his expertise 👍🙂
- It’s no good when that happens is it. Nothing else will do when that’s what you want. 🤣🍽
@@TheFishLocker To right John🤣
Brill !!guys living off the land I love it .keep it up fish locker family big hugs !!
- Thanks Barrie. Take care mate. 😊
I wish this was my fish and chip suppa
I could eat it for every meal! 🐟 🍟
Brilliant John it looked really tasty we are going to try the beer batter for our next fish and chip night keep safe
It was really good David I can highly recommend it! Let us know how it turns out 👍🏻👍🏻
I am back cause I needed to check the recipe again! This will be my lunch :D Thank you!!!
That’s the beauty of the videos. 👍🏻
Gonna keep this one simple John “delicious “ take care pal all the very best from Scotland 🏴🏴🏴
- Cheers mate. Take care and give our love to the family. 😊
Nice tip about cooking the thin pieces separate from the thicker ones. Thanks
- Any time mate. 😊👍🏻
Well worth the few days wait John 😂 I appreciate this video,very nicely done
- Cheers mate. Editing and stuff takes time.
@@TheFishLocker What matters is when you post a video, it captures your attention, it's interesting and as a bonus to us, you always have high quality informative videos, I'll always be so entertained and relaxed watching, thank you, and merry christmas when it comes,all the best for 2021!
Wow that fish & chips looked absolutely great, wouldn't say no to a taster, thank you John
- It was blooming marvellous mate. 😊💙🍽
Awesome video. Enjoy the catch n cooks
Thank you Richard.
I think everybody enjoys your videos, they're fantastic and this time luxurious fish and chips!!! Thanks, John.
- Oh no we do have a very loyal group of trolls who subscribe simply to dislike the videos. Every video we make regardless of subject has around 5-8 dislike within the first couple of hours. Rival channel owners who are petty and jealous thats all it is. 😊
Great video! I wish we had a decent cod population on the east coast, although I do enjoy making and eating whiting fish cakes!
- You did once upon a time. Sadly unsustainable fishing and fishermen saw to that.
I dont get it why people can dislike this type of videos?!!!!!!!
Good job mate i enjoy a lot catch and cook series
Lov it ❤
- Its a couple of rival channel owners and their lackeys mate. Subbed simply to dislike the videos and troll out of pettiness and jealousy. It shows more about their poor character than it does about the videos. 😊
Agreed, that's a quality crunch.
- Cannot deny that type of crunch.
Banging John!! As soon as the silliness is over I'm coming to Spaggos!!! Hopefully, see you soon!!!!
- 🤞🏻
Sat down from eating sea bass for tea ,notification came up cod and chips ,life is good 👍🏻😋🍺🍟
- Life is very good. 😊
My favorite fish, fresh cod, nothing better in my opinion.
- It is blooming wonderful isn’t it. 😊
@@TheFishLocker Fresh fish and chips, an ice cold bottle of ale...dinner fit for a king.
OMG that looks so so GOOD!!!!!!!!
- It tasted amazing!!
Bugger off John you must live like a king brilliant film again 👍🤣
- Haha. Cheers mate. 😊
Ask and u shall receive. What a channel the fish locker is👏 keep them coming mate
- Thank you. 😊
Absolutely fabulous, I have to try that with my next cod.
It was beautifully done David. Have a great week 👍🏻😊
Tried it tonight, it was AMAZING! So crispy! Thank you!!!
This was honestly one of the best fish and chips I have ever eaten.
Same here, even if I didn't catch my own fish! Will make this again for sure!
The floaty batter is scramchins! Used to get a cup of them at the local chippie for 5p. Bliss.
- Scraps used to be free in Whitby. 😊
@@TheFishLocker The owner of our local chipper drove a Merc in the 80's. Now I know why. Loving your channel, cheers.
That crunch though!! 😍
- Makes your mouth water doesn’t it!!
Awesome presentation! Great friend/chef tutor! Life is good, John! Merry Christmas!!!
- Thank you very much. Jim is my wifes father. 😊
Cracking cod! Yet again a great catch and cook video. Interesting twist on the mayo too. Jim is a culinary wizard. Cheers.
- He is yet to make something I do not like. 😊💙
brilliant, another great cook up by jim.
- He is fantastic isn't he. 😊
DANG! That looks delicious! Very jealous. Great video
- It was wonderful mate. That crispy batter was perfect. 😊
Hi John and Hannah, and little one! The meal prepared by your friend, Jim, looks absolutely perfect! I definitely picked up some tips to try the next time I fry fish. Thank you!
- Jim is Hannah's father. Have a lovely day. 😊
@@TheFishLocker Oh!!! This makes this video even more special now!!! :)
That looked bloody delicious. Cracking job all around 👍🏻👍🏻. I'll have two pints of Guinness with mine bud!! Not so much time recently but always watching. All the best to you John, and the Fishlocker Family
- Take care of yourself mate and best wishes to the family. 😊💙🍽
That looked so good. I would eat it breakfast lunch and dinner John Compliments to the chef. Stay safe my Fish Locker Family .💋
- Haha. I would if I could but I’d never get back into my wetsuit!! 🤣🤣
I made cat fish last night. I cooked it just like this. So yummy.I put lemon only on my fish.
- I also enjoy lemon on battered fish. Glad you found the video good viewing. 😊
Wow, Wow and Wow. Is spago's kitchen open all year long and to the public or just for family members? I might have to watch this again, so amazing, your expressions and comments confirm how yummy this is. I need yummy in my life for sure. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming.
Jim is now retired so it is a family place only.
@@TheFishLocker Of course he is, just my luck. I am so jealous, but at least I can watch enjoy what he does with your provided seafood. 😁
Great video that cod look quite nice and never been one for eating cod always like Pollock waiting or collie can't beat scraps be from East Yorkshire we always have scraps with our fish and chips keep up the great work and stay safe
- Gott a love some scraps with your fish and chips don't you mate. 😊
@@TheFishLocker yes definitely be from Yorkshire we love our scraps and our patties I once went up north and they didn't know what patties where are scraps can't beat homemade fish and chips fish and chips in Whitby are really nice tightlines mate
I'd certainly show you a disappearing act with that fish looks amazing m8 👍👍
- Haha. I absolutely stuffed myself!!
@@TheFishLocker I don't blame you proper real food 👍👍👍
Oh great. Now you made me hungry. Thanks 🤣
- I've made myself hungry a few times with this vid already!!
I'm from Folkestone in Kent we always called them frazzles
Haha. Frazzles to me are bacon fries.
Looks delicious. I love Cod fish fry.
It was incredible 👍🏻😊

Oh you got my mouth watering, I love battered cob and chips! Hi James!

Scraps for sure from Hornsea up in Sunderland bits
- Scraps is the way mate!! haha.
Its great that your father in law is such a good cook. Does he own a restaurant? He's a nice chap, even looks like he cooks without changing out of his pajamas, lol. Now I'm hungry.
- Haha. He is winding his way down to retirement now and this was after a day at work so he was simply in his house clothes. 😊
Nice bit of cod & chips, very tasty! Nice thick chunky cod, lovely. I like garden peas with mine! Delicious! Take care mate, be safe. Graham 🐟🐟🎣🎣🎣
You too Graham. It was beautiful fish 🐟
Good video again and after watching it I was wanting fish and 🍟 and just had my tea before that oooo that crunch 👍👍👍👍
- That crunch was what it’s all about isn’t it!! 😆
The Man the Myth the Legend is Back ....... at Spargo's Kitchen ,, ... The King of Munchies ..
He would be raking it in if he were open for Customers ..
Here is one you should try ..
Deep fried Ice Cream ,,,,,
Coconut , Milk any flavour of Iceam you like
Pre ball your Ice cream on to a tray with Greaseproof paper put back in the freezer for 30/35 mins ..
then Pan'e the Ice cream milk and cocnut .. then back in the freezer repeat the process 4/ 5 times
then set the hair dryer frier at 180 then dip the ice cream balls in the frier for 1 min max when the coconut goes golden brown take out and place on your already pre garnished desert plates .
Something unusual for Christmas dessert ..
- I’ve tried it before. Wasn’t for me mate. 🤮
TH-cam catch-up again. Nice one John! Shouldn't have watched this before tea - starving now! Jim Spargo on top form as always. Stay safe & well. 👍👍
- This video makes me hungry every time I answer a comment on it. So thanks for that. 🤣
That was some nice cods and pollack, nice to see some fish I know we have in our waters lol. Cod is just sooo good to cook up, so white and juicy. Spargos Kitchen is just a speedster in the kitchen as we call it here :D Those fish and chips look just amazing, we dont do that kind of cooking here, most pan frying. But I´d like a really good fish and chips dinner :D Hope you all are well, have a good on mate.
- You cannot beat a really good fish dinner once in a while can you. 😊
T-Rex sauce!! YESSS!!! Haha! I also make my own "T-rex" sauce! Maybe I'm too cheap to buy it, I don't know, and I love the gherkins in there too. If I don't have any, I just use a little relish. A little splash of lemon juice in it ,too if you like! Do you ever use any malt vinegar on the battered fish? For us, that's a treat only in restaurants! Ok, now I'm hungry! HA! Thanks for another great video!!
- You can't have fish and chips without salt and vinegar!!!
My favorite fish john cod
Delicious
That looks like a great batter
- It really was. 😊
Wow wow wow that looked fantastic John. 😍
It tasted it too! Have a good one 👍🏻😊
This look yummy👍
Fish & chips one of my favourite meals to order🥰
- Delicious isn't it. 😊
Cod season has been exceptionally awful this year in the north west, plus we haven’t had a good westerly in a long time
- Its not been great anywhere but the Bristol Channel from the reports I've seen.
@@TheFishLocker some big ones getting pulled out the Humber... sadly looks like it might stay quiet all season...
Yumie coming for my tea fish looks good❤xx😊😊😊😊xx
Great vid, up here in the NE we call the small batter pieces scrapings, it’s weird so many variations 👌👍
- I'm from the North East. Whitby the home of fish and chips they're called scraps. 😊
@@TheFishLocker I’m from Co Durham a little Mining village called Shotton Colliery, a lot of people think we’re a bit weird 😂🤣🤣 but here we call them scrapings. I know you’re from Whitby I’ve seen many many videos, when I was younger we had a charter boat every weekend a bunch of us jigging for Cod with our home made jigs outa old prams filled with lead. Fabulous days, some nice fish landed. Your videos are really good they take me back to being a kid crabbing Crimdon and Blackhall now a retired Miner 👍
Dang you did it to me again! It's 2PM and I have to have dinner now cause I am soooo hungry. Good job!
- Haha. Sorry mate. 😊
Winner winner, fish for dinner..
- You know the score Jim!!
Yes it’s scraps, they are delicious x
- They really are aren't they!! 😊
Absolutely gutted John ! ...sat here watching the video while eating a mousetrap cheese sandwich and a bag of crisps ! .Here in my part of the Midlands we called them scratchings ,as boy's we could get a bag full with loads of salt and vinegar for 2 old pence after school .those were the days ! .
- Haha. Back in my hometown they're scraps and you can get them free with your order. 😊
ENJOYED the kitchen capers F/L family & Spargos F-i-L!
WHEN I had a fryer I liked a 50/50 veg oil & beef dripping mix.
PS Missed the deep fried Mars bars for dessert Mr FL!
- We just went full sunflower oil. I haven't had a battered mars bar in my life. Yuk!! Haha.
@@TheFishLocker WHAT? Oh no! Me neither, but want to try it just for the experience.
Looks delicious John well done to you all
- Thank you John. 😊🍽
These videos absolutely destroy my working from home productivity levels... :)
- Haha. Sorry mate. 😊
@@TheFishLocker All good, this is far more interesting than work!
That looks so lovely! I am going to try this recipe and procedure asap! Thanks!
- Good luck. 😊
Would you release the full video of this cod boat trip if you filmed more of it ? Great video 👍🏻
- It’s on the fb page. I have pinned it at the top of the comments.
Love that you are incorporating cooking with catching ! That fish looks amazingly delicious! Now tomorrow I’ll have to go to (Long Johns Silvers) for fish and fries ...you got me hungry for fried fish ☺️
- Every time I see a comment for this video it gets me hungry again for home cooked fish and chips. 😊
@@TheFishLocker Aw don't! Wifey rushed to Hospital Weds night - Pancreatitis apparently though they weren't sure. Home again now and getting better but Docs reckoned Home made chips caused it as shes type 2 diabetic? Ban on fried food now.
That fish and chips looked perfect.
- It was absolutely delicious. 😊
