As a Scot I can hardly believe I have just spent nearly 20 minutes watching a video of someone eating fish suppers. But, it was great. I loved it. Well done.

Hi there, In the old days Fish and Chips were served in Newspaper at Li'aba d'oro. That was my local and cost £1 for a Fish supper. The man retired and his son took over also opening a takeaway next door. Went downhill from then. All about profit. The best chippy in Edinburgh is next to the Hearts Football Stadium on Dalry Road, called the Gorgie Fish Bar. Fantastic Fish and Chips, and the Steak Pie supper is amazing. Best chippy in Edinburgh period. I'm heading up to 60 years old so i know where to go. Gorgie Fish Bar unbeatable. Steve in Fife.

Haddock much tastier fish imo. Impressed you have picked up a lot of the key points about freshness, but sometimes not the shops fault as it depends on customer to keep the turnover going. No idea how many of them fry in beef dripping which is the traditional method in England, but it really makes them taste delicious. I laughed out loud when I saw my first deep fried pizza. No wonder the oil gets a bit polluted on flavour. Enjoyable video thanks.

Great, informative, well presented posts on the city of Edinburgh. Good work - you have another subscription! :-) You should try a little Scottish-Filipino cafe/restaurant in Gorgie sometime. It's called Cafe Presko. To my knowledge it's the only Filipino restaurant in Edinburgh and as far as I'm aware it hasn't been v-logged by anyone else yet, so you'd have an exclusive! Oh, and my wife, Harriet (A Filipina, of course) works there (but make sure you if you do decide to go, let me know and go along on a day she is working there as that's when it tends to get be at its best ... as reviews tend to reflect this). It's a great wee place. Keep up the good work! :-)

Scrolled through this but no mention of the Fishmarket down by Leith? A recent show picked that as the best place in Edinburgh if not Scotland. Also Edinburgh chips require salt and sauce which is a mix of your HP sauce with vinegar so no need to carry your own! Other areas like Glasgow only have salt and vinegar, where you live matters!
