Making Fish & Chips (Served With Mushy Peas)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video, I'm going to make a British classic - Fish & Chips - usually enjoyed as a takeaway from a fish and chip shop (and that is indeed how I normally eat it), but here's how I would make it at home.
This video is my part of a recipe share collab with my friend Babatunde in Nigeria - you can see his video making Fish & Chips here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k5iOt8mYpq-_mto.html

    Such an important point about cooking/preparing the potatoes the way YOU like them. Not the way some tradition or recipe dictates, but the way YOU like to eat them. I get so tired of the pasta snobs on the internet, insisting that pasta MUST be cooked al dente. I don’t like it like that 😐. I like MY pasta fully cooked. If it’s not authentic, so be it. It’s the way I like it 😛. Btw, I just had breakfast, but that fish fillet (and the chips really) looked amazing and had me planning my lunch menu for today, already.

    I agree with your notion of enjoying things how you like it, but you should maintain the distinction between casual/personal and proper objectives. Pasta snobs are annoying, but the other side would be uninformed folks spreading false information about certain standards, traditions, methods, etc. Obviously this doesn't apply to 99% of cooks making home food. I just wanted to give my 2 cents on a polarizing topic.

I got introduced to what I'm gonna call the "anything butty" there - some guys would put really anything in a roll, be it chips, spaghetti (with sauce) or even paella. Also, tea and cake in the afternoon, and three snacks (including a midnight one) which were always sausages, chips, and I forgot what else. Great time all around.

    @Misspol222 It must have been providence that I found your comment, but I have to ask a couple of control questions, before asking my actual question to you. Are you yourself greek? As in Poledouris and Theodorakis or Zorbas, greek? And secondly, are you a decent cook, with good knowledge and execution on the recipes you do? Because if the answer to both of those is yes, then I could really use your help. You see, I recently picked up some Moussaka from a shop, it was ready-made, but by an in-house chef, made fresh the same day. But I was a more than a little bit disappointed, and for a couple of reasons. Firstly because there was way more potatoes than meat, but that's not even the biggest question that I have for you. It's because of Moussaka containing cinnamon. But just to be clear, I'm sure they had some recipe they followed, but to me, I could really taste the cinnamon, and therefore giving me more of a porridge vibe, as we usually eat our porridge with cinnamon and sugar on the top. And while I'm sure the recipe might be supposed to have cinnamon in it, I think they might have been too light on the other spices, making the cinnamon come through even more, as it packs a flavorful punch, even in small amounts. So my question is this, are you supposed to taste the cinnamon like that, and it's just something one has to get used to, or do you think they might have messed up? Because I haven't eaten Moussaka often, but the first time, I made it at home, with one of those "kits" you can pick up at the store, and I don't remember it tasting like that. And I also want to ask if there isn't supposed to be a decent amount of meat to potatoes ratio, or did I just get unlucky? But most importantly, the one I had recently, seemed otherwise bland, and low on meat, but with a noticeable cinnamon note to it. And since I've only had Moussaka 3 or 4 times in total, including this latest disappointment, I hope that you as a greek, can give me the rundown of what a real authentic greek Moussaka is supposed to be, and taste like? And do I just have to get used to the flavor, or did they in fact butcher one of Greece's most famous dishes? Because the cinnamon part was bad enough on its own, but like I said, it was otherwise bland, and low on meat. And if I remember anything about greek food, from visiting there (Kos island) back in '95, is that it's full of flavor, but not overly spicy, but full of herbs and spices, much like the Italian cuisine. But all in all, in terms of spicyness, more on the balanced/medium level. And really delicious, if done right. But that Moussaka I had just a couple of days ago, was quite the disappointment. And sorry this was long, but I hope you still took the time to read it all, and answers to the best of your knowledge and abilities. Thanks in advance, from Beat. 👋😊

    The chip sandwich is, to me, the great treasure of British cuisine. When I first visited the UK to check out universities (Spaniard who went to an English uni here) I ended up in a tiny fish and chip shop in Coventry full of older people and noticed all of them were making sandwiches out of their chips. It seemed really bizarre - I'd never heard of anything like it before - so I tried doing the same and it's ridiculously delicious, I really don't understand how it isn't a thing all around the world.

    Ooh, I love that vinegar dropper bottle! Here in the US, vinegar on chips (or fries) is not very common at all, even when you order fish and chips from a restaurant. But I absolutely love English and Irish pubs, and those places will sometimes have malt vinegar at the table, if they're authentic enough, and I have to say I love it, and I like it a lot more than ketchup on fries. Also, as a side note, I always thought it was interesting that fish and chips is called that even here in the states. In fact, that was the entryway for me learning, at a young age, that British and American English are even different at all. But now, I couldn't imagine calling it "fish and fries," that just sounds terrible.

Knelt on chair at kitchen country. Used a knife and became very adopt at it. Used vinegar at home for years and then switched mainly to ketchup because that's all they served outside of home.

    Damn, I've never seen anyone else parboil their chips. Thought I was the only one. I find it works best when i boil them in saltwater with a tiny pinch of baking soda and dried chillies. Definitely helps get the crust going, with the insides soft and fluffy. I boil em until they're just barely keeping together though, which gets a little risky when you put them in the oil.

  • @EvaAdorable

    @@EvaAdorable Honestly, you can't taste the chilli much if at all but I feel for some reason that they amplify the flavour slightly, so I just throw them in out of habit. I should experiment with that a little more. The important thing though is the salt and baking powder. The salt brines the potato, whereas the baking soda lets them get crispier by increasing the pH, breaking down the pectin on the outside of the chips, which increases the surface area and therefore the crispiness.

Your chips looked magnificent. In the mid to late 70's there was a Greek-Cypriot restaurant in Tottenham Court Road (London) and they had the most beautiful chips I have ever had - like yours looked - golden, slightly thick etc. I will never forget them It is sad what chips have become over the years - good ones are definitely hard to find - I also love Mushy Peas!!!

That's definitely a possibility, you can either hook them up to a pipe that goes outside, or you operate them in a circulating mode where they just blow the air out the top again. In that case you have to make sure there's a filter in it to catch the grease, and to change the filter regularly. (And I don't mean the metal mesh, but like a cotton wool filter inside.)
