Whats crazy about professional cooking to me is the logistics of having everything already prepared to do this as an order is made. Not only are you making this dish within a few minutes but managing 10 other things at the same time.
Cooking in particular BIR Indian but also some traditional has taught me tons in this area as it is all about layering up the flavours and ingredients. When a recipe calls for tomato purée, you are not just adding a tin. You are adding tomato purée that you have cooked with peppers, chillies, garlic, coriander etc etc. Layers upon layers.
It is great watching an expert...it would be my nightmare of a job..🙈..I have a chef friend..he says it is a science with what goes with what for perfection 🎉
I like to think I'm clever about my recipes, my process, my ingredient choices, optimizing the steps, but i dont hold a candle to you guys. Every time I watch one of your videos, I go "OF COURSE, THATS SO SMART" about every 30 seconds. You guys are on another level. Love how your videos are so upfront about all of it, taking us through the whole process. No pretentiousness, no secrecy, and it speaks volumes that you're making it look easy. You guys are at the top of my bucket list.
I think you can do it bro. I knew a crazy Jamaican pot washer who got a chance at The Frog by Adam Handling. Get a visa, scrub the pots at Fallow and if youve got the character they'll teach you the rest.
This is an incredible attention to detail, there will be few customers realise what went into making their food. Also generous of you to share your tricks, you will be remembered (and thanked) and the crabby secretive types soon forgotten.
How generous of you share your recipe and all your experience this is priceless( I will add that frying the fish one after the other allows keeping the oil temperature steady. Same goes when your you have mincedbeef or. Chicken, instead of putting a big mass that will plunge your temperature, styr fry and remove as your fry j’y our meat and place it on the side, start over( you gain time, organisation an heat, efficiency!
This looks fantastic! What strikes me about all your videos is the thoughtfulness behind everything. Its obvious that you all care SO much about what you're doing.
@@jamesmacdonald5881 Maybe true but not for all UA-camrs get paid unless you have 1,000 sub 4,000 watch hours and get accepted into the YTUBE monetization program!
Nice looking but a couple of changes I would make (22 years in the fish and chip industry and owned my own restaurant doing just that) Do not use pollock! And always remove the skin as it adds nothing. With the batter, rest it chilled for 2 hours and you’ll get a lighter, crisper batter and won’t need the turmeric. But for a more ‘fine dining’ style dish and chips, this is right up there! Too many places make overly thick batter and you don’t get those crispy peaks
@@txxmiles2974 What stopped you in the beginning, I'm thinking of entering the profession but the pay and lack of work/life balance is making it less and less viable.
If you value you your social life, catering is not the career. Remember this restaurant is London, the whole structure is entirely different to any other city in the UK.
Its great watching a true expert so passionate about his job...I am 66 and have perfected " grannies home made chips " ..i get and 11/10 ..altho im old dchool and use beef dripping..yummy🎉 that plate looked absolutely amazing...Ty for sharing 🎉
I also add some vinigar essence to the water when I boil the potatoes. Already adds some acidity flavour but mostly helps with the hydrolysis which gives more crunch later.
Respect to you guys n girls for posting this... I have a a chef for 25+ years, blah blah blah, I know what I am doing basically. Respect concerns the internet keyboard warriors saying "Ooh look at your stove/ floor / walls / staff / technique, etc As I said, Respect for opening yourselves up to the world, hopefully praise, as you know your sh*t but beware of the Haters... Keep up the good work shaboing 😅😅😅
Looks unreal, Chef. So much attention to detail IE the drizzle of extra batter over the fish as it fries and a thinner layer of batter over the skin side so the skin has a chance to crisp up a bit 🔥🔥🔥
Wow! I'm Drooling, I ran a 'New York Fries' shop we used only Russet Burbank spuds in a three stage cooking method. We washed and cut the spuds into big pails ice on the bottom filling with cold water as we cut, iced the top, three to four pails cut first thing in the morning. Light up the fryer, three kettles filled with premium oil, first kettle set at 325 f, second kettle at 360 f third kettle at 375 f, leaving at least 20 minutes between stages. spuds stacked in their fry baskets over their respective kettles until needed. First stage to give the spuds a light yellowish tint, second stage to give the edges a deeper yellow, third stage to brown the spuds off and crisp them up, shake them out into the dump station, salt them and scoop them into the cups. So good! P.S. Always and often shake the spuds in the fry baskets in every stage to keep them from sticking together.
Unreal videos. Perfect for the weekend-warrior home cooks like myself. Not so fussed about the recipes per se but understanding the little techniques here and there (sprinkling batter on the cod for texture, turmeric in the batter etc) is the best cooking vids can get. Too many channels out there just tell you a recipe in video format; this one tells you why. Plus, it's a great insight into how to cook like a pro chef without dealing with that prick Gordon Ramsey or some loud American guy in his home kitchen
I've always known the crispy batter (& chip) bits to be called scrumps and I haven't had them for years. I remember some chip shops use to sell a portion of scrumps for 50p back in the 90s in South Wales.
Absolutely loves the tutorials and amazing recipes to take food to the next level. Great demonstrations keep it up love this team. I have to run a cafe on my own so it’s what I miss is the team work that use guys show
Nice to see a Chippy using Loins of perhaps Cod or Haddock, many fish and chip shops in the UK use Block which is the Tails of the fish. Going into an expensive restaurant I expect Loin, not the tail. Thanks, it was a good video!
One really good trick to help rough up the edges of chips (or just potatoes in general, no matter what you're cooking) is to put some baking soda (1 tablespoon or less) in your boiling pot of water with the potatoes. It'll start foaming a bit, so make sure your pot isn't filled to the edge. Also, if you are ever boiling potatoes and making something with gravy on the side, use the starchy water to thicken your sauce or gravy!
Love seeing all the little chefy stuff you do outside of the main recipe (like the towel roll to keep the bowl in place for stirring). Reminds me of when I staged for one of Danny Meyers guys. So cool
Looks amazing, well done - it does look like it's going to fall off that little board when you serve it or try to eat it lol - love the lil crispy bits
In belgium we use bintje or a pureepotato for fries. Peeled , sliced, washed, dried. Than blanched in 140°c hot oil, cooled and fried in 180°c hot vegetableoil or oxfat
You want them thick and uniform so that there is consistently enough space on the chip to get crumbled. So there should be enough interior to be fluffy potato in each chip. Hope that makes sense. One mistake you might make (i sure did) was cut the chips to my typical desired thinness. There wasn’t enough room internally and they got destroyed into mush and crisp.
Doesn't matter how long they are. Heat spreads into the food from the surfaces, so the time it takes the centre of the food to heat up depends on how far it is from the closest surface. For most of the chip, the ends aren't the closest surface, so it doesn't matter how far away hey are. But if you have fat chips and thin chips, the thin ones will be over-done while the fat ones are still raw in the middle.
Can I do the first frying for preparation a day ahead, then cooling overnight and then finish them with the second frying just before serving the next day?
Man, this looked so mouth-watering good I ran out and just got back from our local pub-style bar and grill that makes authentic fish and chips that always look just like what I'm seeing in this vid. So I'm crunchin' and munchin' because of this vid. One final word of compliment.... Wow! Wow Wow Wow!!!
*One question: Can you cook more fish in that alreay hot oil after the first 3-4 pieces of fish are cooked or do you need fresh oil?...Great tutorial and looks fantastic!.*
My god man what a lot of labor for what looks like a simple dish. I'll never be able to do that wo trying to cut corners. You're a better man Gunga Din. Looks fab. Congrats
What I like to do when I make my chips is to add a splash of vinegar to keep the potatoes from falling apart, It preserves the pectin in them so they can stay firm.
Did I miss it or did you not mention what kind of oil you use for frying? Is it peanut oil? Nice to see the edit was thorough enough to show the requisite hand washing after handling the fish.
They're good but a real faff to clean. The oil goes all sticky and needs some effort to get it off. Having said that, on the upside you will be able to make chips EXACTLY how you like them!
I really like that Pollock is used and not the typical Cod or Haddock. For me the Pollock tastes much better… and is healthier and better for nature… 👍
Don't knock Pollock have tried my own fish chips at home and Pollock is very under rated. Maybe it's my taste buds but couldn't tell difference from cod. Surprised for Sustainability surprised chippies don't use it more often, as it's cheaper than cod. I'd happily buy Pollock, chips.
Can someone that knows answer this question. I saw him put the chips directly into a fridge when hot. Now I was always told never to put hot things into a fridge especially meat. Is this because it raises the temp of the fridge and contaminates everything else in the fridge or is it because it contaminates the meat by cooling too quickly?
It was probably a blast chiller, a special cooling cabinet for professional kitchens. And yeah we’re told to avoid putting hot things in fridges because it can raise overall temp momentarily increasing the likelihood of spoiling other foods, but in a well functioning and clean fridge with regular food rotation it isn’t that problematic.
Looks delicious but the only thing for me was serving it on a wooden board - I'm not a fan at all of restaurants serving stuff on wooden boards, slate or whatever other building materials were left over on a building site - not just because it can come across as pretentious or odd to be eating off of these things, but they also usually don't have an edge to stop food falling off the surface while you eat...the last thing I want to see is my food littering the table because it's been served on a slate or piece of wood with no raised edge or concave part to keep the meal in place whilst eating. The moment you cut into the batter on the fish I'll bet stuff starts hitting the table / table cloth / floor because there's nothing to prevent or hinder food from falling off the plate! Like I said, looks beautiful and full of flavour, but I'll have mine served on a warmed plate, please, or wrapped in paper / served in a cardboard box if its takeaway ;]
Fair play but fair amount of faff, double cooked are nicer in my opinion, a bit more French style, not necessarily as crispy but kinda nicer in my option 👌
It would do my bloody head in if I had such a beautiful meal like that served up on a bit of plank. It’s all piled up and will end up all over the table the moment you try and cut into the fish . I hope it’s just a serving plank .
Take this with a pinch of salt (and a dash of vinegar!), since I don't work at Fallow. Generally speaking though, when making chips forms scratch on a larger scale than at home, you'd do the boiling and the first fry in large batches, and then you'd do the second fry portion by portion, to order.
Whats crazy about professional cooking to me is the logistics of having everything already prepared to do this as an order is made. Not only are you making this dish within a few minutes but managing 10 other things at the same time.
Hours and hours of prep or even days in some cases depending what you're preparing.

Every restaurant does that.
such as? - sticking them back onto those micro thin fillets with even more batter!!

I live in Canada but will be coming home to the UK (Luton airport represent) and cant wait to check this restaurant out. Cheers all!
Gardens peas or Mussey with that fish and chips just the business. This cheff knows is stuff class video
Question: What was the point of keeping the spuds somewhat uniform if they pretty much broke up when boiled/blanched/fried?
They cook evenly to begin with, also more to do with the width than length
You want them thick and uniform so that there is consistently enough space on the chip to get crumbled.
So there should be enough interior to be fluffy potato in each chip.
Hope that makes sense.
One mistake you might make (i sure did) was cut the chips to my typical desired thinness. There wasn’t enough room internally and they got destroyed into mush and crisp.
He took them too far
Doesn't matter how long they are. Heat spreads into the food from the surfaces, so the time it takes the centre of the food to heat up depends on how far it is from the closest surface. For most of the chip, the ends aren't the closest surface, so it doesn't matter how far away hey are.

The art of your culinary cooking style with many attention to detail of fish and chips is also showcased in the beautiful presentation, Chef! Enjoy!

Take this with a pinch of salt (and a dash of vinegar!), since I don't work at Fallow.
Generally speaking though, when making chips forms scratch on a larger scale than at home, you'd do the boiling and the first fry in large batches, and then you'd do the second fry portion by portion, to order.
