I do love a good beer batter for fish and chips but I wanted to bring something alcohol-free to the table for those who want to make a great batter without the use of beer or vodka. Hope you all enjoy this one and Happy cooking!!
@@rstezza If he calls himself Moslem then that is what the spelling is. Both spellings exist. They can carry different meanings and he cared to distinguish himself that way.
@@BluntedBaboon I disagree. The Arabic roots of the two words are very different. A Muslim in Arabic means"one who gives himself to God," and is by definition, someone who adheres to Islam. By contrast, a Moslem in Arabic means"one who is evil and unjust" when the word is pronounced, as it is in English, Mozlem with a z.
What?? No mushy peas?? 😅 Thanks for an alcohol-free version. I'm 14 years sober and won't use any alcohol in cooking. I know. They tell us the alcohol cooks away, but it's the flavor that could make me do something stupid. I have cod right now, along with everything else I need to accomplish this. Thanks! 👍
I love mushy peas! it was the missing thing here for sure, Americans always seem revolted when I make them for some reason even though they are fond of peas lol. Enjoy the batter!! it's a favorite at my house.
@@ScreamingSicilian70 Do you eat mashed potatoes, oatmeal, grits, scrambled eggs, polenta, sweet potatoes? Mushy is a valid texture, even though it doesn't sound very appealing.
Dude, I love your sayings. You crack me up. You should create merch with your sayings on it. "Now...Let's Go!", "You know I love you and.. I'm out!", "Sgt. Gilbert, reporting for duty.", "Rosemary Salt, when you know you know!!", "We welcome Psycho's here."
Sonny, I can not thank you enough! I LOVE fish and chips, but can never order them because they always have alcohol (I am a Muslim)! I will definitly make these! You are SO APPRECIATED Sonny! Keep up the great work!
@Hafthor Bjornsson That actually isn’t scientifically true. There still are left over molecules of alcohol. Not worth taking the chance to compromise our beliefs.
My husband's easy FF recipe: clean a russet potato, microwave for 4 minutes, cut in 1/2 then wedges. Preheat oil to 350°, drop potatoes in oil and cook for exactly 6 minutes! Perfect every single time!!❤ Love your channel!
Man I’ve loved your videos for a long time (and personally love your rosemary salt), and seeing all these folks in the comments showing their appreciation for an alcohol free version, for whatever reason, is so beautiful and heartwarming. You’re really for the people, and you have my immense respect. 🙌🏼
Holy cow. I was a military brat who grew up at Lakenheath AFB. And I totally remember the fish and chips served in newspapers with the malt vinegar. Nobody ever believed me.
Holy shit. I've been watching your channel for a long time now, and I have recreated many of your dishes, but this one was beyond good. Next level, for certain. I finally felt the need to let you know, and say thank you very much. Your channel is incredibly useful.
This is wonderful! I’ll have to make this one next. I followed your scallops with garlic scape pesto and cauliflower puree recipe the other day and it was delish! No wonder you licked the plate. 😍
Honestly when we go to the chip shop we usually just get whatever fish is ready at that time, either cod or haddock. If it’s available we’ll get cod but haddock is usually a little cheaper
Sonny I think You and Me were born of the same cloth...I make the a lot of the same food as you and love to do these recipes for my family. I've said this before but you are by far my favorite Chef/cook on the interwebs of life!
Made the fish and chips, but not the tartar sauce yet (which sounds excellent). REALLY good batter. Every recipe I’ve made of yours is amazing, thank you so much for sharing your gift.
In the UK you often get Pollock in recent years but Cod is making a comeback. In West coast Canada they often use Halibut which is great for fish and chips. If you get to the right spots in Scotland you can pretty much choose whatever fresh fish you want off the menu
American here. Ideally, I like rockfish/striped bass for fish and chips, it’s wonderful but expensive. If I can’t get it, I like to use orange roughy and haddock
I'm in Northern England by the sea side. Here you get Haddock and Cod. You can order either. If you just ask for fish and chips you mostly get Haddock which is definitely my favourite.
Hey, thanks for the freezing tip to store the once fried fries to complete for another time. Good way to make sure I don't accidently let some potatos go bad. Hard times and all that. Don't need to waste. Thank you!
I was born and raised in Anchorage Alaska and now live in southern Washington. We love halibut for fried fish. Being in the Pacific Northwest I'm glad I can still get great fish.
Those fish and chips are awesome man, and as a person who has been to the U.K. multiple times I can attest to what you're saying sonny about the English fish and chips wrapped in newspaper there is no other like it.
my husband was not feeling well last night and I suggested that we see if you had a new video - his mood was much improved after viewing this video & the carne asada as well - so thank you!
Hello from UK. Love your channel. best fish and chips in UK are fried in beef dripping. Salt, malt vinegar and ketchup thats it. Batter is just self raising and ice cold water and use straight away. Haddock i agree. Nice thick piece is hard to come by, but is worth seeking out. Sprinkle the batter bits (scraps) left in the pan all over the chips.
Greetings from Ireland! Most of the traditional fish and chip shops here (chippers) would use a similar batter to what you're using ie no beer... it's mostly pubs and restaurants who use beer batter... Haddock and whiting are other fish that are also battered here and, from what I hear, pollock is used in a lot of places because it's more cost effective ahem 😉 PS love your videos man keep up the amazing work 😊😊
Completely agree! Beer batter is like what you'd get if you went somewhere fancy. Your classic Cod and Chips from the chippy would just be a plain batter.
The first time I had fish in paper in the UK was a taxi queue in Glasgow @ 3am with some Scottish friends. We had been drinking all night, they were singing songs I didn't understand but sang along with anyway.
First time commenter, watcher for last 2 months. I came across your stroganoff video you posted a few years ago and I LOVE how your personality really shines in your newer videos. You are one hellava cook and really enjoy your effort in your videos.
I love this guy! The food looks perfect and the craziness behind it all takes away the craziness of the real world! God bless you! PS make sure the baking powder is aluminum-free!
Noice! I'm not a big fan of alcohol so love this recipe Sonny. 👍 Here in Victoria, Australia we seem to always favour flake n rarely do we see home made tartar sauce, it's always pre-packaged slop. This is a tartar recipe I'll be trying for sure. Love your work Sonny! 😁🙏💙🦘
Another amazing video, I think I'm going to start calling you the scarecrow chef, as your outstanding in your field. Favourite fish here in the UK from the chippy, Cod,haddock, Pollack and dogfish, all great battered and fried.
I’m in the UK, I go for haddock at the chippy but if I’m doing it at home, some fresh pollock (SUPER abundant and easy to catch yourself) really similar to cod. Yum!
Hey! I'm from South Africa, and we also love our fish and chips over here. The go to over here is hake! Not sure if it lives up to the cod, haven't tried any of the other ones you've mentioned yet, but hake is definitely great for a soft clean fish meat for the OG fish 'n chips! Awesome video. Watched all of your vids!
Thanks for posting this alcohol-free recipe for the batter. Looked and sounded amazing. The other recipes on this channel are all interesting and useful. how does the fridge take all that battering? And the presenter is very athletic for a chef 😊
My family is tired of me walking around the kitchen saying "If you Know you Know!" and they never complain about the meals. But they are only just learning what they know. Thank you sir!
I totally don’t mind long-version recipes but I do prefer the quicker methods. Just because life is so busy right now. Can’t wait to try this dish. I grew up with a Fish & Chip shop at the bottom of our street. We always bought halibut. The malt vinegar is perfect!
In South Africa we love fish and chips with vinegar drizzled on top! I live in the US now when I make fish and chips I put vinegar on mine and my friends look at me like I’m crazy but something about that vinegar also gets rid of a funky fish smell
Halibut my fav for fish and chips! Ordered fish and chips in Wales, worker grabbed each hand squeeze bottle of malt vinegar and drenched the f&c which was a soggy mess when I got back to my hotel room.
I clicked mainly cause of those insanely good looking chips or steak fries as I’d call those thick bois. Thank you for the full short and long version!
I would love to do the chips the long way, I would really LOVE it, however on my last try i completely forgot about the chips in the fridge in phase 3. I remembered about the chips a week later while I was munching on a pizza.
Those chips look incredible, that little snap had me heading for the potatoes. I'm English and either Cod or Haddock will do, but I personally prefer Haddock, it's more flavoursome if less 'meaty'. Edit: In my childhood we used to get Rock Salmon more, which is just a remarketing of Dogfish, ie Shark. You don't see it in as many chippies these days though.
Try using ice cold sparkling water to make the batter. And chunky curry sauce on the chips - GAME CHANGER. Most ships in the U.K. don’t use alcohol in the batter by the way.
Having lived in various parts of the UK I’d suggest that haddock is more the fish of choice in the north whilst cod tends to be more predominant in the south. Me - I always chose haddock. But I ALWAYS have proper mushy peas with my haddock and chips.
I do love a good beer batter for fish and chips but I wanted to bring something alcohol-free to the table for those who want to make a great batter without the use of beer or vodka. Hope you all enjoy this one and Happy cooking!!
Imho i put a tad of garlic in my tartar sauce 🤭i always love your recipes
I’ll love to hear your British accent one day
I really need to try this one
there's an even longer version where you cook the potato a little bit before the first fry
@Contingency IBCT incorrect

Here in Victoria, Australia we seem to always favour flake n rarely do we see home made tartar sauce, it's always pre-packaged slop. This is a tartar recipe I'll be trying for sure.

Cod,haddock, Pollack and dogfish, all great battered and fried.
Crazy good looking, next time I will try this recipe put

Great video as always Sonny. I like halibut for fish and chips.
Keep it up Sonny! You Rock
Looking forward to the beer and vodka version too 😉
Thank you for all that you do!
Thank you for doing this, I always like to avoid alcohol in foods. Such a great idea!
The 1 inch punch was rad 😂
Wow that fish is actually very very crispy. This is what I crave the most when having a cheat day
Looks good!
Had haddock for the first time up in Maine. Best fish ever. Blackened haddock sandwiches are amazing.

Pollock is Cinderella, Cod is a Prince, but Haddock is the King. Your recipe looks like an Emperor!

You can cook the chips once, even the big one''s!
Working in a fish&chip shop in the late 80's helped me through college.....well, the bars too haha
Superb, i love it.

MY FAVORITE COOKING CHANNEL EVER!
I use panko breading for my fish n chips. A trick i picked up when i was stationed in okinawa
Most people use cod tbh in the Uk it’s only the seaside chippys that’ll use haddock
Looks like I’m having this for dinner this weekend
Sonny, may I ever visit Colorado, I am going to buy you enough beers to get you to drunkenly make me a homemade meal. 🙏❤️

I love cod and haddock for fish and chips, and haddock is definitely the standard in the UK, but for a number of reasons my go to would be pollock!
Adore you and your channel... love from 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
In Australia fish and chip shops use flake (baby gummy shark). Yum.
Thank you love the vid
Good work, that malt vinegar does add something. Ole Big John Quilter has a good recipe on this. Keep on keeping on. Blessings

In the netherlands a lot of anglers use Zander for this dish 🇳🇱🤙 verry nice video 👊
Looks delicious. I have the very same vinegar in my fridge for such purposes. Now I have to go eat 😆

Mmmm chippies
Rock salmon is banging! As long as its bled properly otherwise its overly fishy...
Flake (baby shark... doo doo doo) is quite popular in Fish and Chip shops down under :)
Fried Dogfish sounds incredible. I've only ever grilled fresh Dogfish, but I bet it's phenomenal in Fish & Chips.
@Contingency IBCT We have a lot of good seafood restaurants in New Orleans. Do you remember what restaurant it was?
This dude never misses
COD or / ou morue for me it’s the best choice for your receipt !!!! Thx!!! Merci c’est parfait !
ill try this recipe this weekend, not a fan of fish by any means but that batter looks so GOOD
Haddock is still hugely popular up here in NY and probably rest of the northeast surprised you can't find any.
I make my tarter sauce with just mayo and sweet pickle relish! Yum
Try using ice cold sparkling water to make the batter. And chunky curry sauce on the chips - GAME CHANGER. Most ships in the U.K. don’t use alcohol in the batter by the way.
In Canada / greater Toronto area. Haddock, cod and halibut are the most popular.
I still have cod when I get fish and chips. Hi from the North East of England 🏴
I can’t have fish and chips without the malt vinegar,it’s so good!
Having lived in various parts of the UK I’d suggest that haddock is more the fish of choice in the north whilst cod tends to be more predominant in the south. Me - I always chose haddock. But I ALWAYS have proper mushy peas with my haddock and chips.
This is perfect , I see a lot of recipes with vodka and beer but this is good for me with 2 children !
Tartare sauce and malt vinegar, absolute musts!
Halibut is my favorite for fish and chips. I am in BC, Canada
Orange Roughy is super good battered and fried!
