Hi Colin and Tim Well what a shame, such a lovely day and nice settings only to be let down by the Fish and Chips. Well i called in an expert on this (my daughter) she worked her way through Uni by working in a chip shop. As soon as i showed her your vlog she said "dirty oil' Colin you were bang on, she says at the rate they fry the oil will need filtering every other day, and in busy times every day. So there you go, great clips guys keep them coming. Chris. 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

Thank you Chris! And thanks to your daughter for confirming why our chips were so nasty! 🍟🍟🍟

That chippy tea looked greasy and the chips looked horrible 🤢 but apart from that it was a great informative video, Scarborough is lovely so different to Blackpool

Hello chatters i always enjoy your banter and musings, those chips were soggy and the when the oil has not been changed in yonks, old oil can't reach the required temperture for a perfect chip without smoking off, enjoyed the video guys.😚

Thank you Edith! You're right about the oil. We had two fish frying experts tell us the same thing. Those chips were very unpleasant 🤢❤️ xxx

Great vlog again guys 👍🏼 As a chef of many years I can tell you the oil those fish and chips were cooked in was dirty and old 😔 shocking really ….

Fish 'n chips tips: only go at traditional meal times. If there's no queue, walk away. The takeaway is usually better than the eat-in option, unless it's eat-in only.

Hi boys! The Lifeboat is the only fish & chip restaurants we've visited recently in Scarborough but Alan commented that North Bay fish & chips are the best in town, and Peter recommends Winking Willie's ❤️

Just watched someone else's attempt to visit the Lifeboat chippy. Only open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. He was there during the week. By the Curb's James and Helen went last year and the food was excellent. My preference is The Golden Grid fish restaurant. Opened in 1954 and eat in only.

It's all about the quality, Alan! 😆

That meal of Tim's looked like the fish & chips had been refried. The chips & the fish were plated before - they never got served or it was a mistake - so they've lying there. Then put in the fat to heat up. You can see that on the batter on the fish. Fresh batter goes into hot fat & it crisps up encasing the fish, trapping in the flavour. You said you weren't sure about the chips - they looked considerable over cooked - they've gone into the hot fat & heated them up, put too much colour in them & they've soaked up all the fat. My ex's mam & dad used to have their own chip shops. Food poisoning of fish is the worse thing & dangerous. Before you choose your chippy to buy from, hang fire & ask someone coming out what they thought of their meal. I'm a nightmare before I go in & would rather do without than eat what was put in front of Tim. 2** - was being generous to them. Thank you as always for your vlogs. They are great to watch your reviews, imagine being on a tight budget, you plan for fish & chips, or any food & you get served that? I'd be gutted. Tek care both.

Thanks iDavo. That's a good point about anyone in a limited budget forking out for a meal like that. Customers were queuing out the door for the takeaway and The Lifeboat was the top rated restaurant in town on TripAdvisor so we were confident that we were in for a treat. Neither of us took ill afterwards so that was a positive and the 2 stars 🤩 were for the waitresses, not the food 😁
