Hi June and iris thank you for all your support and all the fantastic food and you deserve to be Benidorm number one bar none regards Jill from Southend 🎉
Congrats to Iris. She's BATTERED the competition. Looked gorgeous. Makes me want to jump on a plane and fly out just to try her batter. That crunch 😍😍😍
I can already tell this series is going to be a winner Lee. Been waiting for you to do more places like this. Onwards to Balearics, Greek islands next?
The batter is the most important part to me, and I have to agree it looked (and sounded) PERFECT. The chips looked great too, crispy on the outside and soft inside. I can't comment on the extras as all I ever have with fish n chips are pickled onions, ketcup, salt n pepper. Well done, Iris,, and I can't give it less than top marks.
I was first in Benidorm around 1965, then my second visit was 1999. That was the only Winter Sun holiday I ever had (November/December) and ideal weather for Fish & Chips. We stayed in the Hotel Minerva (which may no longer exist) and there was a highly recommended Chippy just around the corner. They had blackboards all over the walls with every item on their menu clear to see. One evening a "smart Alec" asked for something that was NOT listed - Chip Butty & Chips. Next day there it was on the blackboards 🙂 And they did a lovely cup of coffee.
Oh, also Lee if you happen to wish to try any Indian Restaurants in Benidorm there are 3 I would recommend, you have the Clay Oven by The Hotel Presidente, you also have the Curry Leaf which is on the end of the AV Del Mediterraneo main road, there was one on the British Strip called The Cinnamon Lounge however I don't know if they are still open anymore, I don't think they were last time we visited however hopefully they've reopened since. Enjoy your holiday man! 😄
Just came back from Benidorm we went to Rays 2 and i can say it is the best fish and chips i have ever had and yes it was hard to finish it but i had to it was Fantastic meet iris and june great to talk to. and a man i think was steve that i didnt see i hope i have his name right a big thank you too all behind the scenes and it should be a 10+
Generally the people who slate the fuck out of Benidorm are the people who haven't been and are just assuming what it's like. There's literally something for everyone there which is what it makes it so great!
Really enjoying your vlogs in Benidorm,makes a refreshing change and very informative. You are doing a great job selling Benidorm and the British food outlets. Cheers.
That looked superb Lee. I’ll go as far to say it’s probably the best fish and chips I’ve seen you have. Love the crunch on that batter too. Great size meal and didn’t need anymore chips with the size of that fish. Easy 10/10 mate. Great review Lee cheers👍👍
Ray’s Gets The Automatic 10/10!!! That was 1 Outstanding Fish N Chip…When the batter holds a crunch like that, we’re talking quality!! I don’t care what the price is, I’m always looking for quality!!! Great video Lee! Only hope the UK can produce as high a quality when I visit…Cheers, 😎👍🇨🇦
Hi mate just been to Ray's loved it I have not had fish and chips and mushy peas since I was a young one just spoke to the owner and she thanks you as business is booming thanks to you
We eat here at least once a month. Its one of the few things I miss about living in the Uk. We have tried various places but Rays2 is the best, always fresh and good sized portions....
Hey Lee! What a gorgeous beautiful day over there! Sun is shining brightly enough to lift anyones spirits. Love the main strip. That really does remind me of Blackpool except it’s warmer weather. Gorgeous fish and chips. That would be enough chips for me as the fish is large enough on its own. Love the peas but I’m put off a bit by the curry sauce. Had a skin on it. Nice fresh bread and butter to make a butty. Give it an 8.5 due to that. Take care 😘👍🏻
Only been to Ray's chippy in the old town, Wow massive portions and I'm a big eater. Tasted fantastic every time . Brilliant value for money. Family run business.
Good video. Saw you in Ray's 2 on friday night. And yes they have always provided scissors for the sachets 😁👍Been going many years. And yes great fish and chips !
Agreed: the fish portion size combined with the best batter more than offset fewer chips. The scissors was a nice thoughtful touch. A great business is same as a Casino - keep the punters happy and comfy and they'll stay and spend more money! 😆👍
You have re-started my feelings to Fish & Chips! hav'nt bothered for years? but looking at you F & C vids brought back my desire for them? especially with curry! bring it on, ~I will have to pull my finger out and get some, although I don't think they will be as superb as yours look in Benidorm (fair enough it is a 10.5).
Great Vlog, Rays in the old town, was the original Rays, being run by Juan and Theresa, not sure if still there, but I always had the Cod special no 1. The Balcon/Castle ruins near the tapas streets in the old town is beautiful. Dove Park etc.
The other Rays is next to the Duke of Wellington opposite Country Ribs, we have spent some time there and the Scampi & chips were Ace. The other one is up on the campsite but we’ve never made it to that one. We’ll give Rays II a 10 as well.
Maybe curry sauce with fish and chips started as a South of England thing? My late wife and I often had fish and chips or battered sausage and chips with curry sauce back in the 90s (when it truly was a cheap meal) from a chippy in Wantage, Oxfordshire. Gravy on fish and chips is definitely a Northern thing although as a Southerner I admit to liking gravy on the fish.
Haven't been to Benidorm. Haven't had fish and chips in the last 34 years but that fish looked delicious...so chunky...and looked top quality... definitely would order/eat this
Looks delicious 😋 very good find that lee 👍🏻 never eaten there and weve been to benidorm numerous times ! 😋 and yes curry sauce always on fish & chips 👍🏻👏🏻
Hi Lee went here 3 years ago, not easy to find on Google maps but we agree that it deserves 10 as it was superb, only one fault and its that step which they have put hazard tape on so just need to be careful, Ray's I in the old town is also fantastic when we went there as well, not many fish and chip shops serving pints and bottles of wine 😀 👍 😉 👏
I love the science of a chip butty. Maclee, another cracking video. Curry sauce, I have never ordered curry sauce with my fish and chips. However, I have noticed friends have started to order curry sauce with their fish and chips. As DJ would say, "I'm good." I'm seriously considering visiting Benidorm for the spring or summer. Since I can't afford the Caribbean or a five-star hotel this year. I forgot to mention the great view of the Pyrenees from the last vlog. 9 out of 10 fish and chips.👍
Those fish and chips looked very nice, the batter looked and SOUNDED outstanding. Price quite reasonable for the amount of fish you got. I would give it an 8 or 9
I'd say 10 out of 10 for the fish and chips. It looked delicious and so appetizing. I've had a craving for fish and chips for the past 3 days and I've come across this upload with you munching away lol. :)
Fish and BATTER 🤣🤣 looked lovely.. I would prefer to eat the fish and just a few chips .. I love Benidorm.. I used to be a Tenerife lass .. went for years . . Last couple of years been to Benidorm in December.. loved it .. mind I need my Tenerife fix I think this year ...... found Benidorm a lot cheaper than Tenerife .. not for food and drink but to get there ..
Does look lovely, well done Iris! Curry sauce is delicious with fish and chips, better than vinegar and tomato sauce. Next time Lee put some fish into the curry, it’s delicious.
That looked up there with the best . What a superb fish in batter . Did you have the cod or the haddock , Lee ? Sorry if I missed you saying . There looked plenty of food on the plate too , no bread camouflaging of spaces going on ! Enjoyed the video .
Wow What can i say Lee that fish n chips was brilliant The Iris batter looked Amazing!! Thick fish Mostlly square cut chips curry saiuce a must i agree with Sarah I would head there in a heartbeat if i was in Benidorm 10/10 fer me😎👌
Just seeing that fish and wonderful batter made me feel rally hungry and that has never happened before while watching food videos. I like the scissors too. I have never opened one of those sachets without getting the sauce all over my fingers. In fact it's so annoying that I just do not put sauce on my meals now.
Hi there Lee and everyone 🖐i really, really, really loved this Chippy review mate. Did I say I really loved it lol?! Yes I haven't been here yet, though in May, will seek it out, as we'll be here Half Board. Did anyone notice on the menu a 1 Euro Pint?? A big shout out to everyone too, tell your friends and family about the MacMaster, let's get Lee to 100k!! Take care all.
So glad to see you in Benidorm!
Enjoy!!
Arrived in Benidorm yesterday and went to Rays2 In Benidorm today, the service was 10/10,

The crunch from that batter was spectacular! What a great wee place that looked👍
That's on the list to try, thanks for the recommendation
So glad you enjoyed fish and chips

Benidorm was my first family holiday abroad with my parents. Loved it! Not been back for many years. Still looks nice 👌
glad you enjoyed yourself, can't wait to see where you'll eat next Mackie and Happy new year!
Excellent vlogg Lee, been to Ray's chippy many times always good. The pies are also very nice.

Great to see you there Lee love the food reviews enjoy
the uk has such a history with spice in different forms there should not be a problem with curry i love it
Can't beat Benidorm, something for everyone and so much to do. Got to say Ray's chippy is my favourite place for fish and chips, love them.
Rays in the Old Town is like eating in a 70s chippy .. brilliant
Have to say.. watched loads of your Fish and Chip videos... and this one made me want one immediately! Looks incredible!
Creat to see you yesterday and the day before Happy holidays mac master from Jamie & Family 🍻
Hey!!! You too. Have a good one.

That is the best looking battered fish I have seen in quite awhile.

All round that looked very good, the batter perfect
Great vid Lee! The fish and chips looked excellent! and the scissors ✂️ were a nice touch 👍
Great weather and lovely fish, chips and peas, what more could you ask for.
The other Rays is next to the Duke of Wellington opposite Country Ribs, we have spent some time there and the Scampi & chips were Ace. The other one is up on the campsite but we’ve never made it to that one. We’ll give Rays II a 10 as well.

Nice and sunny 🌞 food looked great 👍
Great looking fish and chips ! Beautiful weather . Cant imagine battling the rain on Blackpool prom . 🤣
It's been vile here in Notts today , looked the forecast for next week and the only day with no rain looks to be Tuesday . Lee picked a good week 🌧 🌧.
Looking forwards to the Benidorm series 👍☀️🍳🥓
Haven't been to Benidorm. Haven't had fish and chips in the last 34 years but that fish looked delicious...so chunky...and looked top quality... definitely would order/eat this
Looks delicious 😋 very good find that lee 👍🏻 never eaten there and weve been to benidorm numerous times ! 😋 and yes curry sauce always on fish & chips 👍🏻👏🏻

Great Video, fish looks amazing, gonna try Rays on my next visit.
Always go there since 1988! Best chippy I'm Beni 😋😋
8 Expensive, Got me singing the Greasey Chip Butty song now Lee
I used to work in Morrisons cafe. One of the regular customers always had fish, chips, mushy peas and gravy.
I always had fish, chips, mushy peas and gravy during my drinking days.

Chip butty squashed down, cant beat it. Benidorm looks really nice, hope to see more in your future vlogs xx

Hi there, another great review like always I hopefully soon I can get to travel around like a bit like you keep up the good work
Great Video!
Curry sauce on either fish and chips or cheese and onion pie and chips is just gorgeous.
Can't wait for all the benidorm videos. Can deffo see lee going back after his first visit.
You remind me of Graham of the program, dogs behaving badly 😂
Love your videos , and love benidorm , thanks 😊
Top tip... Salt first, then vinegar to promote dispersal to the lower chips, then more salt.
This is true….👍
A chip butty is the quintessential British food. Love it.
I'd say 10 out of 10 for the fish and chips. It looked delicious and so appetizing. I've had a craving for fish and chips for the past 3 days and I've come across this upload with you munching away lol. :)
Fish and BATTER 🤣🤣 looked lovely.. I would prefer to eat the fish and just a few chips .. I love Benidorm.. I used to be a Tenerife lass .. went for years . . Last couple of years been to Benidorm in December.. loved it .. mind I need my Tenerife fix I think this year ...... found Benidorm a lot cheaper than Tenerife .. not for food and drink but to get there ..
Looked great…..I’m really fancying a little holiday to Benidorm 👍
Whoever says curry sauce doesn't belong with fish and chips needs to have a word with themselves
"curry sauce" is not British.
Will defo be trying in feb
The Fish looked perfect 😋 Nice Vlog Lee 👌 🍺
Does look lovely, well done Iris!
Curry sauce is delicious with fish and chips, better than vinegar and tomato sauce. Next time Lee put some fish into the curry, it’s delicious.
Enjoyed that one lee i’ll have to try that fish shop when I go over in July for my holidays x
That looked up there with the best . What a superb fish in batter . Did you have the cod or the haddock , Lee ? Sorry if I missed you saying . There looked plenty of food on the plate too , no bread camouflaging of spaces going on ! Enjoyed the video .

Wow that looked great,we will be heading there when we go over in the summer
That looked delicious. Wow. Makes me want to book a flight to Benidorm just to eat there!
Thanks, now I'm in the mood for fish and chips plus want to go to Benidorm 🌞🍿☕️
Great vid! ❤
Never eaten fish n chips while in benidorm tbh had steaks, Chinese, italian, Indian fast food etc
Just seeing that fish and wonderful batter made me feel rally hungry and that has never happened before while watching food videos. I like the scissors too. I have never opened one of those sachets without getting the sauce all over my fingers. In fact it's so annoying that I just do not put sauce on my meals now.
Definitely the best fish and chips in Benidorm
Ate there quite a few times
Lovely grub M, also lovely BLUE SKY 👍 ☀️
Imagine Iris's Batter, but cooked in beef dripping :)
