Alot of people think this is easy, its not. TO get good quality fish and chips is an artform. From experience the Greeks know how to cook the best fish and chips.
As a Brit, I hate having fish and chips served in polystyrene. Just serve it in plain paper, much better for the environment than polystyrene and it soaks up the fat too.
@@lastfirst5689 Me too, but the chips were wrapped in plain paper first then newspaper wrapped around that. Many remember it was just wrapped in printed newspaper only, which wasn't the case. The ink would go everywhere.
@@lastfirst5689 Yes, definitely had plain paper first, the same paper as newspapers, but the grease soaked through it all. I remember occasionally getting page 3 of the Sun newspaper wrapped around it....lol
What about home frying do you need to close the lid becauce a lot of home fryers state leave lid off.All so do we wait until the chips float because to do that in my fryer I would only be able to cook a handful at a time lol,but great video really enjoyed it.
Qualifications are no substitute for experience !!! And once you have the experience then you don't need the qualifications. Now those that teach will tell you you must have qualifications, but they are just creating jobs for people that can't actually cut it in the real world, simple put, those that can do, those that can't teach. Do yourself and your industry a huge favour and slam the door in the face of the teaching industry !!!!

Cracking vid - but don't make the mistake that I made, when cooking chips at home - you can't do it in just one pass, like the professionals - At home you have to cook them twice , or they just go limp - go first at a lower fat temperature (150c or 330F), 'til they start to brown , take them out and let them sit for a while on kitchen paper - and then blast them in the oil at a higher temperature (180C - 390F) for about 4 mins - I hope that I've got that right
wrong buddy, put your potatoes in cold oil, and turn on the heat, they will not only be cooked to absolute perfection, but they will be MUCH less fatty, and save a lot of time fannying about double or triple frying.
When I was a kid in the 70's, I loved the Carry on film where it was the horror one with Frakenstein etc. I was always confused by the scene where Kenneth Williams falls into the giant boiling pot and just before he dies he shouts 'Frying toniiiiiiiight'. I was too young to have been around a decade or so earlier when Fish & Chip shops would put that sign out. Maybe they didn't open every day?
Chuck out polyunsaturated oils which form high levels of acrylamide and trans fats (increase heart disease rate by 34%), and replace with traditional beef dripping or lard for a far nicer taste and stable frying medium.
its all in the potatoes the preparation and the oil if you get any 1 of these wrong u wont get chip shop style chips at home even if you use same potatoes
Most chip shops in Australia are Asian run & the 1st thing they do is lower the oil temp to about 160c to save on gas but the lower cooking temp makes the chips suck up the oil. Chips should be started at 185c temp.
This is a good video and perhaps cascades back some understanding into chip frying and the process that it goes through to get the chips fried correctly. The preparation of the chips prior to frying is quite messy but again needs to be done well otherwise it could destroy both oil and potato. The frying range is a good brand as well.
The old boy knows all the answers. He’s got about 20yrs on that young chippy owner. He’s asking him questions he knows the answers to.Hes taking the piss agreeing even if the guys wrong okay.Okay. Okay.Okay. Bust yer head hearing okay okay all day okay.
The chips looked a lovely deep colour, not like some of the place whete thete almost anaemic,, also looked think and long, again some place serve small chips and scraps, fair play looked good chips
@@luckyduckydrivingschool3615 If the fat is too old it will produce a soggy chip that has a nasty taste. My tip is to allow the chips to cool in the paper before opening.

lol the guy in the blue cap enjoys eating his chips id say!!
Who doesn't?
When frying new season potatoes, do you still keep to the same temperature of 185 degrees ?
These deep friers in the Uk look really good but looks difficult to clean
These look spot on.
They turned out pretty great
very educational. i enjoyed this video.

looks delicious for me...

Sir your French fries looks great. Can you give the thickness of the French fries.Thanks
Nazir Ahmed chips !!!!!
These are NOT French Fries they are chips.
French fries are what you get at McDonalds, also known as Shoestring fries.
They look to be cut to about 3/8in. (10mm) thickness on one side, and 3/4in. (19mm) on the other.
I DONT GET IT WHAT IS GOING ON HERE
Science.
Chuck out polyunsaturated oils which form high levels of acrylamide and trans fats (increase heart disease rate by 34%), and replace with traditional beef dripping or lard for a far nicer taste and stable frying medium.
Thomas Baird yeah but who cares about heart disease
Thomas Baird. Quite right. Best chips in the world..
Christiaan Underhay people who want to live longer and eat more fries
Coconut Oil would be healthier
Forget the beef dripping. Horrible taste and smell. Good quality oil is far better and healthier.
The veritable DUDLEY DO RIGHT of chip frying!
Who is interviewing who?
thanks for the video guys really good
I've just got a job in a fish and chip shop I'm starting training today but scared I'll mess up
Well good luck
Thanks but I left and got another job
shannon Keegan 😂😂
shannon Keegan There is something fishy about u
shannon Keegan hi dear
‘You have to be quite quick, as they’re quite hot’. Well shit mate thanks, I didn’t know that.
its all in the potatoes the preparation and the oil
if you get any 1 of these wrong u wont get chip shop style chips at home even if you use same potatoes
Would you blanch the chips first,or are they best cooked in one go ?
If you want them more crispy or you want them to cook faster then blanch them first
Hope Dougie is still around
Oooh I love those chips 🍟😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋

Any way to get these kinds of fryers in Canada?

@@brigo3 no thats what my comment is, a question asking how to get them here.

A question about the fryers. Do these fryers need a hood system or self contained?
no one ever answered lol
GREAT FRYING
have you tried making chips, with turnips at all my friends!!
Where can these commercial fryers be purchased?
From deep frying at home I've learnt that once the chips float on the surface they are ready to come out
They are like a married couple

That sounds disgusting. Chips shouldn't be fried less than 180
@@kofola9145 das jus pure racist u nob
@@guys2hey990 he’s Australian it’s allowed.
Said who? It’s common for 165 and above to be used. If you have proper quality oil what you describe shouldn’t happen

Yes
Pinching the chip is not necessary. If it's hard to the pinch, it wouldn't float.
Its not the way we do it in Flanders-Belgium
Who’s the mentor? Who’s the student? Are they both the teacher and the student? I felt awkward watching this
Observe structured chips examination osce
salt first........ or vinegar?
Vinegar first, then salt. If you salt first the vinegar washes the salt off. Also, the vinegar, then helps the salt cling to the chips.
Put more chips on the plate

Grease is good, but I hate a soggy chip, and I feel like oversaturation of grease is a contributing factor to that.
