This is possibly the greatest fish and chips recipe on earth thanks to the British chef and perfectionist Heston Blumenthal. He deserves credit for a fish and chips recipe that is truly a gift to us all. And it's a perfect summer recipe that brings the taste of the beach to your kitchen. And in this video, you'll learn about a few tricks that make a crispy beer batter extra crispy as well as how to make an awesome tartar sauce and crispy chips which is what the British call french fries.

There's a trick you can do when boiling the potatoes to prevent them from falling apart: add a bit of vinegar. Slightly acidifying the water causes it to prevent the breakdown of the pectin in the potato. Ethan Chelbowski demonstrated this in his various french fry videos. This is solidly worth doing.

Being Belgian, where fries were born..double frying makes the best fries. French fries are not a French invention, and are Belgium's national dish. ALWAYS double fry your french fries. The most common size french fries are 1cm diameter. Not steal cut at 1", not shoe strings. Russet potatoes make the best fries, as they're the driest potato. The older the potatoes, the better. Bigger potatoes cut to proper size make the best fries. Not still white, or yellow golden, golden brown..remove, drain, then refry to desired browness. Ketchup or gravy is a fine topping, but classic Belgian fries are served with mayonnaise, and lots of different sauces, including curry sauce. DON'T REMOVE THE STARCH FROM YOUR FRIES BY RINSING THEM..JUST SOAK IN WATER AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE UNTIL READY TO FRY. Chives and sour cream or cream cheese are delicious too!

Usually, when YT videos claim something is the best in the world, it's hubris. So I made this recipe and followed it to the "T", even spritzing the fish with malt vinegar just before serving. It is indeed the best Fish and Chips I have ever had. Just mind-bogglingly good! I tried this with both Alaska cod and North Atlantic cod. The North Atlantic cod is more expensive by a few dollars a pound, but it's worth it. The Alaska cod was OK, but not as good and had a somewhat mushy texture to the flesh.

I can't find anyone talking about replacing water with high proof alcohol for making batter in any other situation, including fried chicken, that predates like 2013/2014. Happy to be proved wrong, but if it was used, I think it was really niche. Heston's real addition is the soda syphon, which this guy didn't use. I think the thrice fried chips is his thing entirely.

Pro tip for the boil method. Add vinegar to your water and there's some chemical reaction that will make them stay firm and not crumble and break. This is what I do with russet cuts that are half that thickness (slightly larger than mcdonalds size) and I can boil them hard for 15 - 20 minutes and in the end can even pick them up and shake them individually and they don't break.

Looks epic, couple of tips from someone who used to work in a chippy: - when you cook the chips in oil for the first time (4:20), to tell if the chips are ready you should be able to be pinch through the chip without the skin breaking (careful its hot). If the chip breaks in half when you pinch it then it needs a bit longer. If the chips start to go limp/soggy then its overdone. - The type of oil you use has a big impact on flavor and also the cooking temperature, you probably want an oil with a high smoke point or you risk smoking out your kitchen. - potatoes grow really fast when its warm, so they grow really big but they are softer and with less flavor. if you have the option buy potatoes from someplace cold. - not sure you mentioned it but deep frying can cause pretty bad fires, so never leave the pan unattended, never let kids anywhere near it.

You then hold the spoon up against the top of the inside glass of the bottle, and turn it upside down. The liquid drains out, the capers stay in the spoon and you turn it back over and have exactly what you want. You will have to drain off some water before you start.

You can add vinegar to the boiling potatoes to keep them from cracking and breaking. The vinegar keeps the natural pectin in the potatoes from breaking down during boiling. Keeps the shape and I swear sometimes I can still taste it in the finished fries.

Do not add vinegar to boiling fries, at least not for fish and chips. Let the chips break if you boil them too long, it makes them crispy and delicious. Vinegar in the cooking process seems to be an American thing. Don't use this tip when cooking British things. Vinegar can be used after its cooked for flavour

@markrichards7377 Жыл бұрын

@@kingofracism No it's really good for structure and the flavour works well. The cut potatoes will still fracture a little and you get a very crisp final product.

safety tip: when dropping sth. in the pot to fry, drop it in away from you. Meaning: The initial dip should be in the part of the pot nearest to you, then lower it carefully away from you. That way, in case you drop it accidentally, you don't douse yourself with hot oil, but it will splash away from you.

If (wooden)chips are somewhat rectangular and crisps are flat chopped, you can say that crisps(uk) and chips(usa/eu) are wrong words to describe and maybe therefore fries(usa/eu) making the 2 - 0 for uk BUT crisps is still not a good word either like chips(eu/usa). Edit: chips(eu) -1 Fries(eu) -1 Chips(uk) +1 Crisps(uk) -1 Total point: eu _-2_ - 0 uk.

@hc-nj3ve 2 жыл бұрын

@@g4m1ng4life The way I see it fries are far narrower than chips and even on the continent it's uncommon to see something as wide as what we'd call a chip most of the time. That said, many chip shops will serve things that're much closer to fries than what are in this video (though that can vary a lot from place to place). This is a super high effort fish and chips and usually making them this wide - in my experience - means soggy food. So for me chips, fries and crisps all have their place for describing different things. Still prefer fries though unless you do the chips in a ridiculous way like this to build up some great texture. Fries are just a shortcut to getting that texture.

@honklerton732 2 жыл бұрын

Why? They're just french fries... Chips are what come in bags (Doritos / Lays / Ruffles etc.) It's also hilarious how the UK even coined the Term Soccer, but then turned around and started calling it futbol just because they wanted to "be the same" with the other countries near them. The US prefers to call it Soccer because that is what it was called at the very beginning.
