Imagine this: Its January , its 5pm and its pitch black, windy and it's been raining for 3 months straight. You eventually leave work and walk home in the rain, on your way back you pick up a chippy tea. You get home soaking and cold, you go into the kitchen, open up that bag and then the smell and steam hits you. You then lie on the sofa for an hour, stuffing your face and watching TV - that is the majesty of fish n chips, sir, right there!
The salt and vinegar steam so potent it's like CS gas - eyes burnt. Delicious!
@exiletsj2570 Yep ! there is something magical about that ! 😋😊
Raining for 3 months straight……😂😂😂
This right here is what fish and chips is all about. High calorie comfort food after a hard days work.
@@TrickyDicky2006 Oh me too ! love pickled eggs 😋
We are frequent travelers to the UK (from US) and sometimes our lack of good fish makes us sad. Whenever we return one of the first things we seek is proper fish and chips, a Scotch Egg, and a proper pint.
Yesssss
Go to Whitby in North Yorkshire; the best fish in the UK!!!!!!
@@philipgladstone1914 Everything is great in Yorkshire. Cheers
@@kevinlance1813 yes, Peter Sutcliffe was certainly one of the greatest serial killers.
@@bookie5667 Yorkshire gave us all 1. Yorkshire puddings...2. Cricket legends=Geoffery Boycott nuff said...3. Stainless steel which we now use every day, is widely believed to have been discovered in 1913 by Sheffield-born metallurgist Harry Brearley..4. The Brontë Sisters..he books have been adapted for radio, TV, the silver screen and the stage - and Kate Bush’s musical tribute to Heathcliff and Cathy is a stalwart at most karaoke nights..5. The first commercial steam train..When we think of the early steam train, it’s George Stephenson’s Rocket that springs to mind. However, the first commercially viable steam locomotive, called Salamanca, was in fact designed and built by manufacturer Matthew Murray in 1812 - in Holbeck, West Yorkshire,,i could go on but you get my point
Watching Americans use cutlery is always entertaining.
I came here for this comment ha
Part of my holiday entertainment 😂😂😂
I know right like pick a hand and go with if FFS. They seem to have a blind spot where they just ignore how much time they spend passing the fork back and forth.
Exactly what I was about to say. Although I find it way more irritating than entertaining. I think I was taught to use cutlery PROPERLY when I was a CHILD!
I was thinking same . Said to my son , why do Americans look funny when using knife and fork 😅
As a Brit living overseas I got very envious watching this vlog. Man I miss my fish & chips.
Can't you buy fresh cod and make ya own batter? You must be able to buy cod, haddock or plaice in the U.S.
@@shaunhandley3050 It's not the same, fully agree with the comment and feel your pain!! Been living in China for over 4 years now, tried making my own a few times but nahh. Just can't beat a good old UK chippy!
@@Charlie.202 It's not the same, it's better lol I make a fish n chips every week in our house and everyone prefers it over a chip shop. I do proper chippy chips from potatoes aswell as mushy peas and curry sauce. If someone prefers a battered sausage instead of fish then I'll do sausages aswell.
@@shaunhandley3050 Do you fancy coming to live with me in China haha? Sounds great!
@@Charlie.202 sounds good! Then I can get the transformers that don't get released in the UK 🤣
After putting the salt and vinegar on hot fish and chips the smell and vapour that comes off it is absolute heaven!
When it comes to chip shop curry sauce it's completely it's own animal. It ain't no korma, it ain't no madras. It's completely it's own animal and what a beautiful animal it is
It is. I noticed out shopping the other day that Heinz do a "Chip Shop Curry Sauce" I don't know what it's like.
@@realhorrorshow8547it’s delicious. It hasn’t got the texture, other than that it’s delicious.
Yes I'm 65 years old born and lived here in the UK all my life.
I only tried curry sauce last year for the first time never fancied trying it until we stay with friends in Nottingham they got a fish&chip supper.
And my friend Melvin ordered curry sauce.
He said try it
And I did , 😋😋 what have I been missing all these years simply lovely.
I think it's more like a katsu curry than Indian curry.
@@Lee-vp8vs 100% I only just realised it the other day while eating katsu
This was amazing you can see genuine joy on there faces :)
been eating fish and chips my whole life and love every single portion, that will never change.
Bristish Fish & Chips! 🤤JOY!!! 🤗 ...I grew up to 80's beer batter fish and chips, mushy peas, salt, vinegar with extra scap (batter) on newspaper wrapper😌❤❤❤
Loved the extra scraps 👌
I like runnier and hotter mushy peas
@@chriswright4320 Where I come from they're called scrumps.
You still with us
The food of gods
I wish there were more fish shops in the US. The nearest one to me is 20 miles away.
Wow. I loved watching this. Seeing your reactions to what is a staple cuisine in the UK was a lot of fun. I'm glad you both loved it!
Loved it! Cant wait to comeback in August and try more British food!
@ajslambino fantastic, if you come to Scotland and go a chippy up here, then you can get battered hamburgers, pizzas and even Mars bars!
Also, you need to have a proper Sunday roast dinner with all the trimmings. Especially Yorkshire puddings with a ton of gravy over it all.
Irn Bru is also our nation's soft drink. A full Scottish fry up also. There's a Full English which is great but the Full Scottish has so much more going on. Namely, the square sausage and potato scones (tattie scones)
Also, sausage rolls and steak pasties and steak pies are more staple foods.
We do great stews and casseroles in the UK as well. And be sure to go to a great Indian restaurant as the British Indian food is incredible!
Can't beat a Scottish breakfast I'd also like to see their reactions
The dude loves mushy peas wait for black pudding bacon beans ect...
I love mushy peas. I especially like how you don’t have to chase the peas round your plate with a fork! 🤣🤣
We have been everywhere and tasted everything, and we know food. That is why we picked these things, because they taste amazing. Curry is so nice, it has become our national dish, but Fish and Chips is in our hearts!
Who would’ve thought colonisation would come in so handy aye 😂😂
Who said curry is our national dish? Because it sure as hell ain't mine!
@@NorthernMouse52sounds crazy but our national dish is Tikka Masala. Even though it was created by a Pakistani living in Glasgow 😂😂
Yup it certainly is....ask any cardiologist ❤
@@FrostyNugz_v4And he was British
You should have included a pickled onion guys!!! Plus loads of salt and vinegar and a slice of white bread👍🏻
cheap white bread laced with butter so it runs all over your fingers. heaven 😍
Pickled eggs are the bomb👍👍👍
And a big mug of stewed tea
or a Gherkin my favourite.
Pickled onion✅️
Bread and butter✅️✅️
Pickled Egg🤬
Gherkin🤬
Savaloy🤬
What kind of foreign hell on earth country do you come from to think that is acceptable chippy food?? Oh yeah, London.
I love the friendship you and Paul have developed.
Plus a nice cup of tea. Tea tastes sooo good with fish & chips.
We use different peas for mushy peas too which taste different to normal garden peas, they're called marrowfat peas, glad you enjoyed your chippy experience, also chip shop curry sauce is more a sort of Chinese style curry, it's so good, I love the stuff, another thing to try is chips drenched in gravy, more a Northern thing really, and with a meat pie it's lovely, I think that's also a big thing down under actually.
as a Mancunian i was astonished there was no gravy involved. thats just a northern thing? whodathunkit.
Same pea just harvested later but yeah they do taste like a different pea.
@@psilocyble3053 I grow peas, Marrowfat peas are a different variety to normal garden peas, but you're right that marrowfat peas are harvested later and allowed to dry on the plant, there are loads of varieties of peas.
My apologies, I defer to your expertise of peas@@markjones127
@@ravenmasters2467 mate, they are in London, the consistency of their gravy matches perfectly with the flavour of the Cod they serve, water.
Remember, if your here visiting and out and about, for a quick lunch, you cannot go wrong with a simple "chip butty" with scraps (There are a few names for 'scraps', but, it's just a serving of little bits of cooked batter) and lashings of salt and vinegar... Really tasty and it'll keep you going for hours! :)
They even give you a bag of scraps for free !
And salt n vinegar! They had no salt n vinegar! Its a crime lol
Chip butties are double carbs and calories! Fish chips & mashy peas is a better balanced meal/tea🎉
@@cherryblossom3046 i dont think he cares about carbs or calories. Have you seen what he eats? Lol
@cherryblossom3046 who cares, one carb heavy meal won't do a thing if you maintain a balanced diet elsewhere.
He wasn't sharing those mushy peas, was he?
haha
He bloody wasn’t 😂
Mushy peas with lots of vinegar ❤
Or the Savaloy! Come on AJ give Sydney a real piece 😅
Love this! Propper chippy tea, all the right add ons in curry sauce and mushy peas, just missing the pickled egg.
Just missing the Vinegar.
Pickled eggs are evil
I'm a Brit living in Yuma Arizona . This is cruel and unusual punishment , you can't do this to me . Here in America the septics haven't got a clue about fish and chips . There's a Brit pub in San Diego called the Shakespeare bar and grill . They do a pretty good fish and chips , the best i've found so far , except the batter is beer batter. I'll keep looking .They sell shepherds pie here made with beef and peas and seet corn . I keep telling them , that isn't shepherds pie .
😅 you poor man, i live in brum but still know a good chippy.
Have you tried pointing out that shepherds look after sheep?
I'll forgive them for the sweetcorn as that sounds okay.
Haven't heard 'septics' in a while, i read they call them 'seppo's' in australia though.
Yep if it's made with beef it's a cottage pie if its made from lamb it's shepherd's pie and no sweetcorn it's carrots,peas and onion
Beer batter only works if it's John Smiths bitter, i tried with beer (lager) once with budweiser and it was crap, not crispy and bubbly batter like you get with John Smiths bitter!
Whoooooa, sweetcorn in Shepherd's pie? Are you mad? If they're gonna get it wrong, beef when it should be lamb isn't as bad a crime as putting the devil's food in it.@@seldom_bucket
No, it’s not shepherd’s pie, it’s cottage pie….which is better if done properly.
Chippy curry sauce is the absolute bomb
Oh yeah, in the town were I grew up, we had a chippy which had the absolute best chip shop curry you have ever tasted. My girlfriend at the time made me go across town to get some. Didn't drive, no buses. So I hiked 2 miles there and 2 miles back, probably jogged as I was fit in those days. Things you do for love hey. She pissed off to Canada a couple of years later and married her cousin. But she never had that curry again! Karma.
Do you have a recipe for curry sauce?
Chinese chippy curry sauce is naughty
It's even better when they bother to get the lumps of cornflour out
@@katiewillison2730it's pretty much a Japanese curry sauce. You can buy it online in huge blocks like stock cubes but 10xthe size. Or you can make your own. Lots or recipes online but I dont get what the deal is with the lumps
I think Americans who say fish & chips is bad generally fall into two camps - either people who've never tried it and just believe the old line about all English food being bad, or people who have had some incredibly poor imitation in a restaurant/bar back home. The first of those probably dates back to tales from soldiers stationed here during WWII, when the country's food ingredients were rationed, or maybe a bit of snobbery from other countries due to the fact that British cuisine is 'comfort food', rather than fine dining.
There's a 3rd camp: They had it in a tourist trap place in London, usually a pub where they just heat something up instead of doing it properly like a chippy would. Greenwich is a hot-spot for those kinds of places. Fish & Chips needs to be from a dedicated fish & chip shop. Occasionally a restaurant will do a good job, but usually not.
Most UK fish and chips is poor and I say that as someone who grew up two doors down from one the the very best shops. It's now used as an Asian money laundering and drug distribution business.
Then again, they might have encountered Stein's take-away in Padstow.
@@peterjackhandy Padstein.
We do the fine dinning well too.
Just love your reactions! So wholesome!😊
Loving your appreciation for our food. Top man!
Nothing better on a cold dark wet evening then chippy dinner, glad you enjoyed it, food for the soul.
So good!
OMG you guys got together! I love this! Glad you enjoyed the fish&chips!
Many years ago I found a resturant in San Diego Old Town that did really good Fish and Chips - they even sent out for malt vinegar for us and it was on the table the next visit. I hope it is still there - The Brigantine
This was a lot more entertaining than I was expecting.
I’ll take the compliment
I like the way it took them about 30 seconds to understand the basics of eating fish and chips. He started putting fish chips and peas together and involuntarily carried on, and on, and on.
😂 it just felt right
Please, for your sake, get rid of whoever that Rupert is that is feeding you savaloy and telling you to use cutlery, only in London. Whitby is the best place but nowhere much south of Birmingham is worth it, you probably had Cod too, its haddock up north, major difference being that haddock has flavour. If you leave London you can try a proper fish cake too that has never seen mashed potato or breadcrumbs. You literally couldn't have found a worse place within these Isles than the enclave colony of Londumb. It would be less offensive to be having a battered Mars bar in Glasgow and being told that's traditional. Get rid of the Rupert who clearly only ever had fish and chips on his gap yah from private school the absolute muppet.
Your correct about Whitby, best fish and chips i have eaten in my life was from a restaurant there right out on one of the piers, cant remember the name of it…
I’ve got only 2 problems here, curry and sausages.
@@stepheno1870 I'm not aware of any being actually on the pier, but if you got them and walked out there, they were hopefully from Quayside or Trenchers.
That was such a wholesome video haha. Nice one glad you enjoyed it.
Mushy peas and mint sauce from Goose Fair in Nottingham was a childhood treat
That was the first time I ever had them at goose fair and I was 32. Even waited in line for 20mins to buy them.
Mushy peas, mint sauce, cockles
Always had these in town as a kid, me and my lad have them now.
Great video aj. Thats a propper chippy tea 👍
Why lie to him? My grandad would throw all but the chips in the bin if hr had been given that shite
You’ll have to open a combo shop. Greggs until 4 then switch over to the Chippy till 10. 😂
Now that's an ultimate combo.
Genious
The HOT dog is nice with mustard weak or strong.Chips you can put anything on them like brown sauce,Ketchup or Mayonnaise,or vinigar.also you could add to your meal pickled onions.My favorite is plenty of scraps
I can understand if yr sitting indoors why not use a plate and fork,, but usually its widely acceptable that this is the ultimate finger food !!
(or you can get a traditional two pronged wooden chip fork, that kinda looks like the lil spoon paddle that u used to get w small tubs of ice cream)
THANK YOU!!! Now we just need to get him up north and away from that Rupert he's got with him on this video and he can try a proper chippy the proper way with proper fish and accompaniments.
He made me so happy.
Word of advice. Try Scottish chippy sauce (half hp brown sauce and half vinegar) on the chips. Elite stuff.
He just needs to try anything that's not this London style abomination
He cracked me up when he was scared of the chip hahaha I was literally in tears 🤣🤣🤣
Fish & chips is one of my favourite meals with mushy peas . Its a treat for me as i dont have it often.
Very enjoyable thank you
Definitely add salt and vinegar and try it, and a pool of tomato sauce on the side of the plate. Sometimes I find a chippy where the chips are so soggy and gorgeous that I just go salt & vinegar 🤤
OI OI SAVALOY 😂 PROPER GEORDIE SAYING, love it ha
Our chippy curry sauce is so elite. My local that I have been going to for years is absolutely amazing. All their food is top notch and the shop is rammed all the time. I always dip the fish in the curry sauce. It gotta be done. So lush
Live in the states and have tried the fish and chips they have here in many different places. The chips are usually still just french fries and the fish come in small dry pieces rather than a single piece of good quality fish. Batter is always wrong. The one place i did enjoy was in Las Vegas, but that was Gordon Ramseys Fish & Chips :)
OoOooOooooh, Gordon Ramsays fish and chips, get you 😂😂😂
The Harry Ramsden's chippy in Orlando is very acceptable. It's next to the English pub.
@@JustDaniel6764😂😂😂
As a Yank that has travelled in the UK quite a bit, I sympathize. An ex-boss of mine moved to Florida from here in the PNW and found good F & C, he's been permanently spoiled (by his own admission).
@@mescko Fun Fact: The Term 'Yankee' was coined very early on in New Yorks conception. Originally it was New Amsterdam until the English took over and called it New york.
The two most common Dutch names at the time were 'Jaan' and 'Kees' The Dutch have 'J' As the 'Y' sound. That's were the New york Yankees got their name from.
Oh man , that face expression is brilliant😂 Yes nice Chippy is gateway to heaven. 😅
Just a shame he was in London so hasn't experience a proper good chippy
lol, I absolutely loved this. My American buddy is coming over in 4 days time. Can’t wait to share the same experiences with him.
Take him to all the places! Eat all the good food!
When he goes home he is gonna be craving that food like crazy!!!! 😮😮😮😊😊😊😊
Loved that reaction 😊
Ahh! Seafare, one of the good things about growing up in Guildford. 💗
The best!
@@ajslambino the best in that area. No London chippy can get near the ones north of Watford, especially Yorkshire
It's amazing that such a simple dish like fish n chips with mushy peas and curry sauce can taste so good and be so satisfying when it's cooked properly.
Right!
I’m so glad they enjoyed our food good to see you
Addmint sauce to mushy peas lovely
A mate of mine used to buy 2 portions of curry sauce … one to dip, the other to drink.
You can’t beat a good chip shop curry sauce.
Smart idea
I live in Norway and I miss Fish and Chips so much... that feeling of going into a chippy, joining a queue and the guy calling out if you want a fish just so that it's absolutely spot on by the time you get it. Lovely Dandelion and Burdock to wash it all down.. I once tried Fish and Chips in Key West in Florida USA but, while it was good, it was not a patch on good old UK!
love the honesty!
Yes, but you have to completely drown the Fish and the Chips in malt vinegar (Sarsons) and cover them in salt, before you eat them. Vinegar before salt. And far more of both than you think you need. That's the only way to eat them properly; especially in the North of England, where they originated.
100% agree. Vinegar before salt because the vinegar helps the salt to stick to the chips, the other way round the vinegar washes the salt from the chips.
And the Fish HAS to be Haddock !
@@0utcastAussie Absolutely correct.
Definitely vinegar before the salt and we have better chippies up north 💯. My partner is from down south the fish & chips I’ve tried ain’t the best
@markpalmer8083 Also as salt goes ! forget about that Saxa sh*t ! some flaky sea salt or Himalayan pink salt make a world of a difference!
You Sir have good taste I'm now off to the chippy...
That cheered me up. Thankyou. It also made me hungry and I have not been eating so I doth my cap twice.
Welcome!
I found it offensive that they put that in front of him, cod and a savaloy? Gtfo that's racist
Having your fish & chips, you should have covered them in salt & vinegar, and have ketchup on the side, along with your curry sauce, gravy ? and MUSHY PEAS, ( add a little mint sauce to the peas) also to be eaten with a slice of bread, or a bread cake, and washed down with a cup of tea, pickled onions and pickled eggs are optional. 😊😊😊 🇬🇧
@user-xz4rn8ho7r it's all about choice ? which they don't seem to have much of down south.
You could have all of those conderments if you like, but traditionally in my neck of the woods, it's fish ( mostly haddock, not cod) chips, and mushy peas, covered with salt & vinegar ( sarsons vinegar) and heinz tomatoe ketchup and maybe a sachet or 2 of tarta sauce, if your posh, never with a slice of lemon, you chose what size fish you want, small, medium, or large, depending on you appetite.
No salt and sarsons vinegar?
@@stevenmontgomery8117The vinegar in fish in chip shops is rarely vinegar yet alone Sarsons. It’s a solution using acetic acid.
Even when I ask for lots of salt and vinegar I always bring it home and cover it in the same amount or more.
@TrenosUK,I know it’s not vinegar that’s why they call it “non brewed condiment”
Brilliant review and thank you ❤🇬🇧👍
🙌
@@ajslambino PLEASE GO NORTH AND TRY A PROPER CHIPPY WITH PROPER FISH!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Dark, wet and miserable outside. Perfect fish and chips weather.
The best fish and chips are eaten by the sea. On the coast, find a cafe off the pier the fish was landed on and eat them for lunch with bread and butter and strong tea. Finish off with black forest gateau. I have no idea when this combo became a thing in British seaside caffs. It just is and it really works.
In the towns take them home and scarf them by the telly while the rain beats against the windows and the cat gently taps your hand to remind you to put another piece of your fish on his saucer. Total comfort food.
Yes bro.. tuck in G
MY American Brother from another mother.. 😎👌🏻
Best of British 😊 just saying from Glasgow 😎🇬🇧
One thing to add is that all chippies (chip shops ) are different. Many years ago you would have at least 3 chippies within walking distance of your house, and they'd all be different (soggy chips/batter or well cooked chips/batter etc), and over time you'd try them all to see which one you liked the best.
A dash of vinegar and salt on the chips...or Sarsons malt vinegar, even a dash of Sheffield's finest Hendersons relish on the chips..........faaaaaaantastic!
Ahhh...yeah love Henderson's so flamin ' good !!🥰..😂 it's just gone 7am and I 'm craving a chippy tea !🤣🤤🤣
Well, the man like mushy🤣curry sauce is a given for me anyway I never thought it would be a game changer ✌️
You must be my twin foodie. That is exactly what I have from chippie along with battered mushrooms.craig Coventry.england.
A savaloy? In Coventry??? They have NO right to be outside the M25
Traditional takeaway fish n chips here in the UK used to be a cheap quick meal on the go, now it costs less to eat in some restaurants in comparrison
As a Brit this was great to see! I'm sure there is a market for a new chain of shops selling Brit food, and this in particular, and they'd do really well.
So glad you enjoyed them 👍
Thank You!
I'm not sure I think of
Guildford when I think of good fish and chips but, to be fair, there are good chippies all over the UK..... more good ones than bad, IMO.
Seafare are proper.
Onion vinegar (lots of) is a must! And pea fritter alongside a portion of musy peas. Savaloy needs to be kept in water, some places dry them out.
Heads up ! The fish with curry sauce is also amazing !
Did you salt and vinegar the chips?
No because he was with some Rupert that took him to a london chippy fed him cod and a savaloy and told him to use cutlery, I'm surprised mayonnaise didn't get put on it or some nonsense
Nice to see a local one being used!!
Looks like stoughton.

Look at the smile on this guys face 😂 man this makes me hungryyyyyy!
It was so good
Man's hooked
As most Brits are commenting on....Fish & Chips (or sausage etc)...means for the *real* taste, you have gotta have _some_ Salt & Vinegar sprinkled on them (start little and then add when you see the diff). Without, it's just nice, or 'OK'....
There was. The lady at the shop put it on inside the bag for us.
Sorry for butting in but I agree it's much better when the shop person puts the shops salt&vinegar on 😂😂😂 I never can put the right amount the same way they do 😂
Add some salt and malt vinegar to the mushy peas, makes them taste nicer
and black pepper.
You missed scraps and eat with your hands bro 😂 this video made me super happy to finally see an American finally appreciate our fish and chips 😅 If you open a shop I'll come be your cook ❤
AJ welcome to the uk 🇬🇧 ❤
Salt and vinegar please. What is it with Americans and cutlery?
How he holds his fork 🍴 hahaha!
I’m American we don’t know how
Up here in Scotland, we love our fish and chips. However, we don't have saveloy sausage. We have red puddings which is basically a battered sausage, black puddings (battered black pudding), white puddings, an oatmeal favourite, battered of course and haggis puddings, yup, battered haggis. We also batter pizzas which is surprisingly good.
Don't forget the deep fried Mars bar, one of which I sampled in Stirling.
@@ColinH1973 The deep fried Snickers is better.
british fish n chips rules, for me no1...must be a good chippy though thats highly recommended from good reviews as there are some places that are not so great
You need salt and vinegar on your fish and chips and a cup of tea.
You Americans are always so kind about reacting to UK stuff, food, music, comedy, whatever, so thanks, I doubt the UK would appreciate you like you do us,
Nah they do for sure! We love you all and we definitely get the love back!
The curry sauce with chips is a crowd pleaser . Grim up north chippys will have gravey sometimes . Down south sometimes we have BBQ , it's the Chinese version of BBQ , the sauce they put on the ribs . In N.ireland - they put coleslaw on chips and in burgers . You think it won't work , but it does . It's not the shitty coleslaw you buy in supermarkets etc . The consistency/texture is fine thread's- add mayonnaise and I believe cream , it really does work .
Anything you put in batter taste amazing . As for saveloys tasting like American hotdogs - they are kind of . Traditionally they were made from brains - not to sure now .
Lastly - I was speaking to a old American couple in the Scottish Highlands the other day . They were asking if wetherspoons served good fish and chips . Compared to the real "Chippys" no - I told them to go to the chippy , they didn't understand the phrase . But we worked it out - they did go into wetherspoons ( pub chain = cheap booze ) . The husband and cameout of the toilet passed my table and we had a 20 minute conversation. It was a nice random encounter
It was bugging me how little of the fish you were eating as it is by far the greatest thing on to the plate.
I cleared the plate don’t worry
@@ajslambino Oh, thank goodness.
In fairness I would say fish chips and mushy peas is pretty variable in quality across the UK but I would say the best place to sample them isn't generally the seaside but working class towns in the north west of England. Oh dear, so good. There I said it 😮. Sorry Guildford.
No pet.. the North East not the north west.. but you’re certainly right about the North being the best for fish and chips( and everything else 😂) oh and just to educate you southerners the North isn’t all about working class with cloth caps and whippets , we have more farming and absolute stunning scenery up here. ..😊👍
You're not wrong, but any chippy that won an award (whatever year) is going to be good unless it had a drastic change of management.
@@davesy6969can attest: both Seafare's in Guildford are the bomb.
My yank friend came over May last year and his reaction was exactly the same😂 👍🏻
the fresher the fish the better, a good chippy by the coast, especially in Scotland can not be beaten
Tell that to New Zealand.
Fish and chips are lovely, but pie mash and liquor is the food of god's. It's a traditional London delicacy. You have it with chilli vinegar, plenty of pepper, a mug of tea and use a fork and spoon to eat it. 👍
By liquor, do you mean a bottle of whisky?
@@ColinH1973no it’s like a parsley sauce but more runny . Can’t beat it pie n mash and liquor and some lovely jellied eels. Handsome 😊
@@ColinH1973 The liquor in a pie and mash shop is a type of parsley sauce but using some of the juice from cooked eels.
Jesus! £2.30 for mushy peas. Where the hell is this? The best chippy in our town just put their price up for MP, Curry etc. to £1.10 for that same size pot and everyone is moaning about it. Looks like there's a extra pound on everything at this chippy. Guildford! Not really London, so why the London prices?
That's not London prices!
Guildford is an expensive town to live. I imagine premises and running costs are sky high. Costs for extras are always highly variable.
An American friend ordered a battered beef burger and was instantly in love with it
That sounds amazing and I have to try one now
Can’t beat a proper good British fish and chips. I’m not a massive fan of mushy peas but he certainly liked them. 😂
I haven't been to England but I am quite happy with Aussie fish'nchips. I usually buy flake (which is just another name for shark) but our species of fish are a bit different to yours.
@@ianmontgomery7534 Enjoy what you can get mate, fish and chips are a must wherever you are on the planet 🤤. You can enjoy your with a bit more sunshine though 🤣
Why would you not use a knife and fork...you are an adult
After fish, chips and mushy peas. My favourite meal to get from the chippy is battered sausage, chips and curry sauce yummy
