    Here in Victoria Australia, we have Flake - which is shark which we usually have with out fish and chips. It used to be great white, but now they use gummy shark instead - upshot no bones in the fish.
    We put a lot of salad in our burgers, beetroot, lettuce, carrot, tomato, mayo, sometimes cheese, sometimes pineapple

    • @Danceofmasks
      @Danceofmasks Рік тому

      I'm not a fan of flake - too dry for my tastes. My favourite used to be king george whiting, until it got too expensive to be sold in fish & chip shops. Nowadays, I get either barramundi or blue grenadier.
      As for the burger, don't forget a fried egg. Get a burger with the lot and some places throw in an egg.

      I used to get mine from a little shop near Pentridge prison in the 80s and 90s. They had the lightest beer batter.... so yummy! They would batter the fresh fish in front of you.
      Fresh flake is divine, if its dry, usually its been frozen or par cooked then frozen. Has to be freshly battered

  • @BruceEverett
    @BruceEverett Рік тому +4

    Okay. I've seen an answer in the comments below, and watched the bit in the video above... but proper chicken salt doesn't have chicken in it. And it wasn't introduced by KFC. It was invented by a guy called Peter who had a chicken and chip shop in Gawler, South Australia, in the 1970s, and he made it for sprinkling on his roast chickens. Eventually, people started asking for it on chips, then a company called Mitani licensed the recipe from him and started mass producing a version for other chip shops. Then it spread and become popular.
    I can't go too hard on people for not knowing there's no chicken in it. I only just found out recently myself.
    When I was a kid in the '80s elsewhere in rural South Australia, the default was plain salt on your chips. I didn't even encounter chicken salt until I moved to the city in the early '90s when someone asked me what salt I wanted on my chips. Now it's just the default. If you want plain salt on your chips, you have to ask for it.
    I'm not sure exactly which building in Gawler was home to Peter's shop, but it's now either a photocopier shop, or a cafe. I reckon it's the cafe, and before them possibly a Yiros shop (what everyone else calls "Gyros", or what the English call a "Kebab").
    The cafe's pretty decent. If you have a look at "71 Horrocks Hwy, Gawler, South Australia" on Google Maps' street view, somewhere in-frame should be the birthplace of chicken salt.

    Beef burgers in Australia often have a fried egg. That's normal here. But you won't see it done at Macca's or Hungry Jacks (aka Burger King), unless it's for a special promotion. Fried fish is usually deep fried in beer batter. Chicken salt is so nice it's almost addictive.

    The fish & chip shop near my place does things like beer battered octopus, oysters, soft shell crab burgers, as well as the traditional chicken burgers, dim sims, chips, burger with the lot, etc
    Sit at the quiet beach with your food, couple of beers, and a swarm of hungry seagulls
    And that’s standard for a lot of chip shops near beaches/coastal towns ❤

  • @commonwombat9171

    This shop is in a beachside eastern suburb of Sydney. You will generally find good quality fish & chip shops/seafood in most of the cities in AUS and in coastal towns along the east coast ,as well as the populated corner of Sth AUS & SW Coast in Western AUS. NZ is a similar story. IF your quality is poor, you don't stay in business.
    Grilled fish is a healthier option to frying and is increasingly more available although AUS/NZ f&c are much much less greasy than traditional UK fare. Burgers have been a long time sideline for most AUS fish & chip shops so diversifying into chicken & fish burgers was obvious.
    Beetroot ( the purple in the burgers) has been a long time ingredient on take away burgers down here (other than on those from the fast food chains).

    I am an Australian married to an American. Pickled beetroot is used instead of pickles (pickled cucumber) in most australian burgers - not McDonalds except for specialty burgers (eg McOz, Broncos Burger). Burgers have vegetables on them including shredded carrot. Australia does not do bright orange american "cheddar". Fish is usually available grilled, crumbed (breaded) or battered. Batter types vary a lot between shops. Some are thick, soft and a little soggy like england, some are thin, crispy outside soft inside like tempura from Japan (originally Portugal), many are more crunchy and flaky. The one they had was close to a tempura style. Chicken salt is excellent and surprisingly has not exploded overseas. There is a massive untapped market to sell this stuff in the US. BTW this is actual Australian food. Bloomin' Onions and Outback Steakhouses are not Australian at all.

  • @comeatmebro3229
    @comeatmebro3229 Рік тому +1

    as someone who is really into his fish (was studying marine biology before i got a job offer i couldnt refuse) Hake and Hoki (blue grenadier) are both deep water fish that are very easy to commercially fish with longlines, they are similar to cod in the UK hence why they are used for fish and chips as cod is the typical fish used in the UK and because they are easily fished they are a cheep option for fish and chip shops
    As far as fish that Australians would prefer to eat they aren't really all that high on the list, "traditional" Aussie fish and chips is actually flake (Gummy/School shark) but even then fish like King George whiting, Flathead, Pink Snapper are all preffered over Hake and Hoki.
    And just to show why Hoki and Hake are used (both are also generally caught in NZ and not Australia) the price oh Hake is anywhere from $7-$20aud per KG of fish and Hoki is about the same price as Hake, Kg Whiting on the other hand is anywhere from $75-$95 per KG, Flake is around $55 per KG, Snapper is $45-$55 per KG and Flathead is around about $40-$45 per Kg.
    So if you ever come to Australia and wonder why some of the best fish and chip shops are just really expencive its because the fish they are using are the expencive and more desirable fish.

    @lward2049 Рік тому +4

    Just to correct a few minor errors others have made - Flake (gummy school or snapper shark) is the most popular Fish in a standard fish and chips in Victoria (it has always been those species and NEVER Great White as some idiot said) Hake and Hoki are a deep sea fish and relatively new to the Fish and Chip shop scene (you will find both more frequently in your supermarket freezer in processed fish items) I am not sure what the "usual" fish is in NSW, however further north in Queensland it is Mackerel (usually what we call Spanish Mackerel and King Mackerel in the USA). Battered Fish is deep fried as seen in your video Clip - Grilled fish is cooked on the same hot plate as your burger patties, most often without batter but some shops will grill it in batter also. Hope this helps

      Ex Melbournian for 48 years then moved the NSW (20 years so far), We get an option of gummy (flake) for fish and chips, but by far the best is Mako, slightly firmer than gummy. You can't go past flake, and hoki (N.Z Version of Blue Grenadier_) is far too thin for my liking.

    ….there are lots of great places
    For me - If they don’t batter it in front of you with their own batter it can’t seriously be called ’The Best’
    You should also see the fish raw on display and have a selection
    Flat Head and Blue Eye Cod are my favourites

    You certainly don't deep fry on a low temp and second time on a high temp. That creates soggy everything. You deep fry twice with the oil hot at approx 160celcius. About 1 to 2 minutes first time, take out of oil, allow to sit snd to continue cooking on the inside before retrying a second time. Approx 3 to four minutes. You need to cook the fish through without burning the batter which should be light and crispy.4
