@@PWCDN May I ask which fish and chip store you recommend? I went to the one in borough market (fish! restaurant) that is supposedly award-winning and the best, what i got is a soggy disppointment, super thin batter all steamed wet with meh fries that arent fresh. Also tried a store in southampton city centre (sibs fish and chips), again, soggy fish and chips.

As a Brit I have a couple pointers for your next experience. Mushy peas is more of a condiment than a side so you would eat it with the fish or chips. The curry sauce is meant to be eaten with the whole dish as a pouring or dipping sauce. It’s weird they didn’t let you but the sausage seperate. Pickled eggs are an old tradition and usually kept as a sign of a good fish and chip shop ( however most people won’t buy one except maybe some old folk). And finally the term you are looking for to describe the place is a ‘chippy’. Glad you enjoyed 😁

personally from someone born and raised in a port town in the UK the best way to eat fish and chips for me is to have the salt and vinegar on the entire portion of fish and chips and something we refer to as a "splash" is to just pour the curry over the entire thing like it's gravy at a roast. You should definitely try this in your free time if you find yourself getting it again Ben love to see you enjoying our food over here with having alot of people outside of the UK shi**ing on it constantly without even trying it, keep up the amazing content dude.

I agree, a lot of people repeat what they've heard. Those comments are war time and post war rationing comments. The UK has fresh and flavorful food. Besides people repeating old information, I think the issue is you can get some pretty bland foods in some places. Tourist areas and touristy pubs, etc. I will always eat where the locals eat, no matter what country I'm in. Having parents from the UK and growing up with that type of food, and a mother that knew how to cook. I see the difference if someone didn't put in an effort or any seasoning. And it is always in a tourist area. People need to explore and try new things. Favorite new things have been seaweed infused cheese in Wales, and Cullen Skink soup in Scotland.❤

As an Englishman myself, one thing I can say is that when visiting e.g. a lot of countries in mainland Europe such as Spain or France, eating in the little corner cafés that over here would basically be "greasy spoon" type of places, where you'd be lucky to get an instant coffee and a sandwich with unseasoned cold cuts, over there you'd get like, some kind of side salad and garlic-based spread or mayonnaise, and it would be great quality at a cheap price. I think the _average_ quality standard in other places is higher than it is here. But that's not the same as saying all British food is crap, you just have to know where to look. Fish and chips is an obvious staple, I can't have it too often anymore but a good chippy is a nice treat. I am also very partial to a good Sunday roast at e.g. a carvery, or slow cooked stews, or e.g. chicken and mushroom or steak and ale pies. (Just not a big fan of pork pie lol) And then a lot of British Indian food here is, as far as I can tell, the equivalent of Mexican food in the US, and it's bloody amazing.

Pro tip if the chippy allows it/isn't too busy: ask for double fried chips. Crucially, not fried for twice as long. Fried to about 85 percent doneness, taken out and allowed to expel steam/cool for about a minute, and re-fried to finish them off. The crispiness goes off the charts, and they also stay crunchy for longer because they've had a chance to get rid of some of the internal water that normally makes chips go soggy.

In Nottingham there are places that just sell cups of mushy peas with or without mint sauce, usually at the fair etc. So they definitely aren't just a condiment

A condiment is more of a sauce or seasoning. Mushy peas are a portion of vegetables.

As a Brit I'd like to say there's a difference between chips and fries, that's why those aren't your typical golden skinny fries. The typical British chip is much more chunky and more mushy inside. Then you also have fries which are your typical golden skinny fry that you find in America or most fast food places.

LOVE your channel and your enthusiasm, you tackled that fish and chip supper like a champion! Salt and vinegar goes on the chips (not the fish 😄), along with the curry sauce, and ketchup. Leave the tartare sauce for the fish, along with the mushy peas (which are indeed just mushed sweet gorgeous green garden peas), and the lemon, perfect classic dish!! Vinegar, pickled gherkin and pickled egg - are nicely tart and really cut through endless amounts of potato ( chips). Egg and pickle is an excellent way of preserving a glut of foods (especially in war time) and they are cheap, as are chips (classic British phrase ("cheap as chips"!)) which is why you might find them in a 'chippy'. Triple fried chips are the best, really crunchy! I mostly just have the fish and mushy peas - that's plenty for me. But the fish, oh the gorgeous lovely buttery cod, in the UK you are never more than 70 miles away from the sea, stick to the fish, every time. Best place to eat fish and chips is by the seaside!
