Yeah, Cornflour is essentially custard powder & vanilla. Use a quarter in weight of cornflour (or Rice flour) & guarantee crispy !.

Apparently the actors who played Jack and Vera Duckworth on Corrie invested in, and promoted, this company soon after it started up. Don't know how successful it was at the outset, but it's still going strong. Great value for London.

The original was (and is) in Bradford. I didn't think they would be charging Northern prices in that there London. Most chippies in Bradford use beef tallow to fry but I think these guys use veg oil.

@TickityBoo70 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing! I prefer my fish n’ chips deep fried in beef dripping and the fish to be coated in beer batter. The last time I went to a Mother Hubbards, my fish and chips (like yours) looked amazing. Unfortunately they were fried in vegetable oil and tasted ok ish. On the-other hand, Murgatroyds (Yeadon - Leeds) do AMAZING fish n’ chips! If you ever find yourself up in West Yorkshire I highly recommend that you give them a visit.

That looked good. from someone that lives close to the famous Pilot at Dungeness. Went to the local chippy the other week (that used to be rated very highly but has changed hands)) for the first time in about 5 years got charged £28.00 for Haddock & chips twice and was so dissapointed. I've never has such a wet piece of fish in fact we (the SO) seriously doubted it was Haddock! But that looked proper.
