I use you videos for anxiety releif. If you were ever having a rough day, try to remember the hundreds of thousands of times you’ve made someone else’s better!
This is my favourite kind of cooking. Simple, no frills, and just proves that you don't need a huge kitchen crammed with top of the line appliances to make quality food. :D.
Eating good in the woods. I live in the US but had a chance to work at the Mini plant in Oxford helping them with some logistic issues for 6 weeks about 7 years ago. Enjoyed fish and chips on the Thames several times.
Simon that fish and chip meal looks amazing and so darn delicious. It also has a great presentation with the mushy peas and tartar sauce. Thank you for sharing Simon!
Simon, one of the reasons I so like your channel is how you show without fuss and 'preaching' how to carefully and safely cool down and clean up the remains of your camp/cook fires. It just follows as a natural part of the process of looking after the lovely places you visit.
I can always tell how good Simons cooking is when he takes his first mouthful of gives a verdict with a "mmmmmm".....the longer the "mmmmm" the better the taste is, and that certainly looked delicious, and my mouth was watering for sure. Great episode as usual.
Had a Fish n Chip shop many years ago. Total respect for your camp catering version, absolutely first class. Nowadays instead of Adnams bitter (which I do like) I think I will try the batter with their Ghost Ship. Them Citria Hops might impart a nice lemony flavour. Holy moly man youve really got my taste buds going. Steve
Scottish but live in the US and this video brought back so many great memories camping up the north of Scotland and stopping later for the best fish n chips….thank you! ♥️⛺️🍃
Greetings, Simon, from Kentucky! It's always a pleasure to enjoy a moment with you via video - Here, I finally got back to the woods to visit our Spring ephemirals - glad you won't have to do any more snow camps for a while - those looked brutal! Cheers!
Eating sumptuously in a primitive/camping situation? Hard to believe until seen. I admire your leave-no-trace-camping ethic. Another great video. Thanks again.
Well Done! Video certainly lived up to my expectations after reading Description. Hadn't heard of mushy peas and was surprised to learn they come that way from a can. 😄 Nice job on clean-up too 👍
You were so happy, I felt happy watching. Viewed an oldie yesterday: Simon working his way through a 24-hour ration pack. We were all laughing out loud, here down under. You are great company Simon, and a super-talented bushcraftsman. Oh, and thanks for the recipes.
You do realise that you have raised the bar exponentially with this one Simon....my Mrs will never again settle for a tin of beans n sausage or a pot noodle when camping....😢❤😂😂
That looks great! But one of the best things about coastal path walks is finding a good pub serving fish n chips at the end of the day. Feels like luxury!
what an inspiration! I bet my husband would LOVE that for supper one night this week. Needed this wonderful content this afternoon to save me from the mind numbing boredom of keyboarding and answering pointless questions all day long! Thank you for sharing. Content was superb, as always! Take care and be safe out there! 🧡🧡👍👍😊😊🙏🙏
" No beer was wasted in the making of this video". Ok, I made that up but it feels true. Oh, no teenager to foist the cast iron off on. Plus the weight of the oil and beers! Super man!!!!!!!!!
Ah, Simon - the pinky sticking out just shows your classy side! LOL can you imagine mate some fox coming along through the woods and wondering about smelling fish that far from the sea? thanks for sharing
This is at the opposite end of the scale from, “open bag, pour in hot water, leave to sit, stir and eat”! Never thought I’d see anyone deep frying fish and chips in a camping video👍👍😀😀
I just watched another channel and that guy visiting London paid £22.50 for virtually this same meal, can you believe. Fish £10.50. Chips £3. Curry sauce £1.90. Peas £1.90. Free tartar sauce. £2.50 service charge. £2.70 drink. VAT etc. It was robbery. I was surprised you did the whole process. Great vid, Simon.👍
Love all your videos, the camera work, lighting, filming, editing, sound are so solid. Its amazing to me that you pull this off so consistently. A joy to watch. All that said, this one is a reminder to me about why I don't deep fry at home, much less while camping. So much oil, so much mess--I'll leave it to the professionals, thank you! But, you be you, Simon!
Hey Simon, from our family to yours... we are sorry to hear about Maggie. the hard part of having dogs and its never easy so we are with you brother! Also caught some of your videos with Kent and the one or one you took your boy along... that was a nice little adventure with Thomas and Maggie... good for you man! Cheers, State Side Salty!
Mmm what a treat! It’s made me hungry watching it, craving chips and thirsty for a few jars of Adnams to help it go down ..deep fat frying in the woods - who’d have thought!
Hi Simon 😊, wow fish and chips twice, whith extras, you certainly excelled yourself in this one, and no pesky seagulls trying to steal it lol. Thanks for another great video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
I use you videos for anxiety releif. If you were ever having a rough day, try to remember the hundreds of thousands of times you’ve made someone else’s better!
Batter surely!😄
Simon - your videos should be prescribed on the NHS to help folks deal with anxiety - they’re so calming!
Imagine you're on a nice walk in the Norfolk countryside and then all of a sudden, the smell of fish and chips wafts up your nose 😂
Got to feel sorry for the wildlife in these localities. All those aromas but zero chance of enjoying the food!
I'd worry I was having a aneurysm 🤣🤣🤣
Ah Bliss😋
I bet it tasted ten times better with wood smoked flavours.
@@tarmacdemon doesn’t everything? :)
Simon's back! 4.2K views within 3 hours of posting this video. Simon eats fish. Simon drinks beer. Simon walks about. And we all watch!
This is my favourite kind of cooking. Simple, no frills, and just proves that you don't need a huge kitchen crammed with top of the line appliances to make quality food. :D.
Well done how to make a perfect plate of fish and chips AMAZING 👍👍🍺
When an Englishman is cooking Fish and Chips in the woods on fire! You know its good!!
Living the dream 😊 makes me homesick, a welsh man living in Sweden.
Fish chips mushy peas cooked on an open wood fire. Food of the gods 😋👍
The only thing I dislike about your videos is…I have already watched all of them.
How is that possible when he keeps making new ones?
Thank you Simon for having us for lunch, although it was a bit one-sided on the portions. Thank you, you always tend to gladden my day.
Eating good in the woods. I live in the US but had a chance to work at the Mini plant in Oxford helping them with some logistic issues for 6 weeks about 7 years ago. Enjoyed fish and chips on the Thames several times.
Well I'd not thought of doing this in my dutch oven, but now I've seen this I'm definitely trying it! Nice one.
Bloody hell, a portion fit for a King Simon, by God that liked good. Your a joy to watch mate.
Simon that fish and chip meal looks amazing and so darn delicious. It also has a great presentation with the mushy peas and tartar sauce. Thank you for sharing Simon!
Hi Simon, I'm so sorry to hear about Maggie. All my best to yourself and your family. Stay strong my friend. 👊

Hahaha - yes, that was a long mmmmm 😁
If you were my dad, I would never let you leave the house without me.
Looks delish.
Pretty damn amazing 😮, I’d never even consider Fish and Chips out in the field, but here you are, showing us all up 😊
I don't think you could do it if you were camping out, imagine the weight of that cast iron pot and the cooking oil, plus your camping equipment.

Remember how chippy chips used to look, that was gorgeous.
Great looking fish and chips, Simon. Thanks.
You, Sir, are a culinary genius! 😋🤣👍
two words you mentioned .." Oh yes"...says it all for me and....well done I SAY !
Watching you fix this meal all I can think of is Yum! Beautifully done!
Fish n chips in the woods!!!! Witch craft I say ♥️🍺🍺♥️

well done sir
Ain't nature brilliant? BRRRRILLIANT
....thank you mate. I now know how to do fish, chips & mushy peas. 😎👍🍻
You have just made my wife and I very hungry. I must do that in the woods behind our house. Thanks for making the video it’s fantastic. Alex
Greetings, Simon, from Kentucky! It's always a pleasure to enjoy a moment with you via video - Here, I finally got back to the woods to visit our Spring ephemirals - glad you won't have to do any more snow camps for a while - those looked brutal! Cheers!
Mcgyver....a bloke in the Woods, brilliant. I just imagine all the local wildlife sitting there drooling 🤤
Spun steel, enough said. You gotta give the Aussies their due. Excellent as usual, plus an engaging host.
Eating sumptuously in a primitive/camping situation? Hard to believe until seen. I admire your leave-no-trace-camping ethic. Another great video. Thanks again.
My #1 bushcrafting TH-cam channel! Thanks Simon.😎
OOOOHH YES... ALL READY FOR GOOD FRIDAY .. FISH AND CHIPS 😋
I usually give a thumbs up at the end of the video, but this one gets it immediately after reading the Description 😋 🤤 👍
Well Done! Video certainly lived up to my expectations after reading Description. Hadn't heard of mushy peas and was surprised to learn they come that way from a can. 😄
Nice job on clean-up too 👍
That satisfying smile after the chip said it all 😋😋🙌🙌👍👍

Wow! my mouths watering. That looked gorgeous
Thanks Simon! I needed a video like that after a stressful week at work. Even more so since I just realised it's only Wednesday!
Fish and chips sound great. I do not have those, but what I do have is popcorn and a good imagination.👍
I know what I'm having for supper! With a couple of large pickled onions !
That looks great! But one of the best things about coastal path walks is finding a good pub serving fish n chips at the end of the day. Feels like luxury!
I wish I could fish and prepare something like that on our upcoming 50 mile canoe trip. Yum!
Mouth watering watching you eat the beer battered fish!
what an inspiration! I bet my husband would LOVE that for supper one night this week. Needed this wonderful content this afternoon to save me from the mind numbing boredom of keyboarding and answering pointless questions all day long! Thank you for sharing.

Yes bro! 💚 Can't wait for our woodland grub in a couple of weeks!
Me neither matey! 😁
@@simonablokeinthewoods should have sent me the left overs of the chips lol
Fantastic! I'm sorry, I just licked my computer screen before I could help myself. A good dose of Sally Goodin to boot. Great video, Simon.
That fish & chips looked incredible.
Literally salivating watching that Simon!!! 🤣🤣
" No beer was wasted in the making of this video". Ok, I made that up but it feels true. Oh, no teenager to foist the cast iron off on. Plus the weight of the oil and beers! Super man!!!!!!!!!

“Where there’s an opportunity make something with beer in it, I’m going with it.” I’ll drink to that! Cheers!!!
I made fish and chips for dinner tonight, and used your recipe. Turned out perfect! I used an Irish ale, which gave the batter a nice dark color.
I love fish & chips. Never thought to make the dish in the woods, or out camping. Great video, Simon
Looked like a monster portion, but very delicious at the same time. I rarely have fish and chips, but when I do I love it.
Fair play Simon your cooking in the woods is something else .I couldn't cook that in a kitchen 😂😂
Oh, wow, Simon! Well done, sir!!
Simon I’ve just had a full dinner and after washing this you’re fish and chips I’m hungry again
I just watched another channel and that guy visiting London paid £22.50 for virtually this same meal, can you believe. Fish £10.50. Chips £3. Curry sauce £1.90. Peas £1.90. Free tartar sauce. £2.50 service charge. £2.70 drink. VAT etc. It was robbery. I was surprised you did the whole process. Great vid, Simon.👍
Hi Simon, great vid, really cheered me up. When can I come camping with you and sample some of that fantastic F&C!! 😋😋 Cheers Paul
Utterly brilliant. I do love bushcraft food videos. Looked great.
Simon, pleased to see you back with (our opinion) your best stuff. Beautiful, thanks. J&A&B&T

Thank you!
beer battered fish and chips, yum, yum ,yum .
Crazy man! Things getting back to normal here, hope all is good, I’ll be in touch.
I COULD eat that several times a week...but I SHOULD eat it only once a year. Smashing!
Thank you for another great video. Great to see you completely clear up the site after you have finished your video. I’ll have to try the batter.
straight out of the gate smile on your face for classic fish and chips it means something
My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE meal of all time.
Excellent Video Simon !! Camp side Lunch of Fish Chips looks Amazing.
Fish and chips!! One of my favorite meals. Another great day outdoors.
I particularly liked the careful clear-up at the end!
Brilliant Simon… I’m bloody starving now. 😂

I would so love to see you and Hazey go camping together. Thanks for the video, good thing I was eating dinner while watching, lol Take care, be well
My word, I'm hungry now Simon, that looked bloody lovely! Chapeau!
Just in time for my lunch break! Thanks , as always, Simon for making this amazing content!

That looks better than most chip shops! Fabulous. 😋😋😋 lovely Bush grub
What a great looking meal! YUM! Thanks for sharing again today!
That looked so good I am going to have to go out and buy some fish & chips now...!!!
A mouth watering episode, well done mate.
DADGUMM, SIMON, WELL DONE…thanks for sharing…from east Tennessee.
