When prepared and cooked correctly, Fish & Chips has got to be the number one takeaway.
-
As a fellow Fish and Chip shop owner. Respect.
-
Sorry, we had sound problems with our first upload. Here we go again - extra delicious!
-
A properly done fish & chips is my favourite food. Crispy batter but not too greasy cooked in fresh oil and it's just a heavenly experience
-
This is my favorite DW food documentary. I swear I could taste the fine texture of the fish and chips. Keep it up Britain and DW for highlighting the industry.👍🇬🇾

If there’s one superseding memory I carry from my visits to Australia, it’s the fantastic fish & chips we’d get, all wrapped in newspaper.. Such a treat!
-
You can tell it’s a comfort food by how folk will swear the type they grew up with is the best. Born in Edinburgh, for me it has to be Haddock with Salt and Sauce. Moved to England many years ago, and whilst by no means bad, it’s just Not The Same. And it’s something you probably don’t realise until you move away from your home town/area. Even the menus are different.

The use of sparkling water instead of beer in the batter was very unique.

i left uk in 65, never ever wanted to go back , but i miss the fish n chips. i ve tried every recipe to get that taste but never. and back in the day you could buy the bits that fell off the fish batter yummy. uk is not known for gr8 dishes, but fish n chips, shrimps, sausages, cockles, whelks, field mushies, and a few more. going on holidays in a caravan with the smell of calor gas and fresh picked mushies cooking for brekkie then fish n chips for lunch then a mountain of shrimp for tea .

As a child that taste was imprinted into my taste buds. I never pass on fish 'n chips whenever I get to visit the UK. I once had it in Gibraltar.. greetings from Germany.

Im filipino living in Northern England and not really a massive fan of British food (Its over hated , its ok Its gets too much hate by uninformed people who never tried ) But a good Fish and chips is one of the few that really taste amazing done right. The best one I ever had was in Norwich where they used beef drippings to fry the chips

My first experience with F&C was on the ferry from Calais to Dover in 1970. Still remember the taste and texture, never experienced that taste but must admit I have not given it a good try since, should do more next time in Britain.
-
David has such a beautiful soul and the fish & chips looks amazing would love to try. Love from Australia
-
Back in 80s we used to eat fish and chips 4 times in the day..I never got tired of it until now .I'm 60 already.. still it's my favourite
-
I always cook them in beef dripping. The taste is amazing and far better than any oil
-
Spot on, we have to keep the proper way of making the batter... theres too many people who feel they have to do something different. Non-brew vinegar with a few dried red chilli's in the bottle was traditional since at least the 1940s. looks wonderful.
-
Very nostalgic. One of the reasons I would return for a holiday.
-
I'm from South africa and centuries ago our country were governed and discovered by the Brits.. British fish and chips are part of our heritage in Cape town South africa
-
Awesome. ❤ Thank you for sharing this. God bless you all. 🙏

No chips beats proper fish and chip shop chips. I don't really get to eat fish and chips often - maybe once a year. But if you have chips from a proper chippy, then vinegar is a must. It just complements the hearty chips so well. As for the fish - the batter and quality of fish can be a bit of a hit and miss. So if you can find a good chippy, then you just stick with them.
