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:    • Making Fish And Chips (A British Clas...

    What really draws me to this channel is the home-made feeling of it. It's nothing fancy but also doesn't look like it was shot and recorded on a camera from WW2. I like the randomness of the content, which reflect Shrimps' personality. Overall a really fabulous channel

    It just warms my heart everytime when you give Jenny the nicer looking food. Such a little gesture that does not change much, but still means a lot.

    This video was good and then you interrupted. Then it got great. There's something very Bob Ross about a kindly looking older British man calmly explaining that everyone has their own special way of enjoying fish and chips.

    Switched from listening thrash metal to watching a man making fish & chips. Gotta love the Duality Of Man.

    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.

    you gotta love that whole interior that hasn't changed a bit since the '70s. A table with a flower cloth, a leaves placemat and leaves & flower plates :) Awesome, nostalgic.

    This is the first video of yours that I regret watching. Not because it was poor, but I'm really hungry and I'm still waiting for the chicken breasts to defrost. I'm utterly jealous of that chip buttie in particular. I've always been of the belief carbs on carbs doesn't count if it's laced with butter and vinegar.
  • @foxabilo
    If you spend your life without eating chip butties (chip cobs in my case) you do not live longer, it just feels like it.
  • Can't wait to see Babatunde's version, what wonderful culinary exchange you two are having
  • @adcuz
    I learned recently that vinegar in the water when boiling can keep the chips more structurally sound due to the acid preventing breakdown of the pectin in the potatoes.
  • @philipareed
    When you pulled the chips out of the oil they looked exactly like they were from an actual fish and chip shop 😊

    Will you be my favourite uncle please lol? Such an interesting man
  • 1:21 Hey we're not here for the video quality, that just happens to be a nice effect of you being a quality Youtuber. We're here for the quality content you ALWAYS produce. I honestly think you're one of the few that we don't really care about how the video looks, because it's always top notch content. I always make sure I can fully watch your videos because they're always very intriguing.

    My best friend lives in London and I used to visit her every few months. The last time I went to see her, she took me to this beautiful little pub by the river and we had fish and chips. It was really really good. This video reminded me of how good it was. Unfortunately, I can't visit my friend anymore due to the pandemic, but maybe I'll give this recipe a try. Thanks for sharing and greetings from Greece
  • 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.
