Eating at the BEST FISH AND CHIPS SHOP in BRIGHTON? BLOODY SEAGULLS!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2023
- I'm not in London... I know that may shock a few of you but today I've decided to take a trip down to Brighton and as I'm by the seaside, I think this is the best time to go for some Fish and Chips as I don't have it very often. Is Captains the best in Brighton? Time to find out, hopefully I don't get attacked by lots of seagulls.

Wow Gary, your videos are such a tonic. I could watch these for hours. Fish and chips are close to average price, so no problem. I adore fish and chips.
Glad you like them and I'm really appreciative of that. Thanks for watching!
Top review, as always, thanks. Fail to understand why more seaside resorts don't fly hawk kites on the end of poles above food establishments. Keeps the old gulls at bay!
Here here 💯👍
You're so right dale
Definitely something extra-enjoyable about eating good fish and chips by the sea. But look at those gulls waiting to pounce.
🤣🤣Yep, they're not daft, the buggers are waiting for you to drop your guard and they'll be on you like a pack of wild dogs🤣👍
My thoughts exactly. Nearly had to channel my inner Tyson Fury with one or two of the pigeons as well.
Thanks mate!
😆
The actual fish and chips looked lovely. Two pound fifty for tea in a paper cup is pricey Gary.
Agreed Palace. The Fish was absolutely excellent!
15 quid for Fish n Chips and mushy peas, prices have skyrocketed since I last lived in the UK.
The mushy peas could have done with some mint sauce or mint jelly that would give them a new lease of flavour.
But it did look good 👍.
The cost of living crisis unfortunately Rob. Thanks for watching mate - hope you're well in Poland.
@@GaryEats still 15 quid is still pricey no?
We were in Brighton a couple of years ago for a short break. Whilst on the beach we saw some overseas students sat on the beach trying to eat fish and chips, they had to abandon the idea eventually after being dive bombed by seagulls. People tried to warn then not to eat there because of the seagulls, however they soon realised their mistake, happy days, great video mate.
Thanks Ian. Felt as if the red arrows were in town with the amount of seagulls and pigeons around.
Another wonderful review Gary and its great to see you by the seaside too. Every review you make is always the perfect length, brilliantly filmed, and the way you review food is the best. Thank you for all your hard work & I can't wait to now see the Yorkshire videos.
Glad you like them Stephanie. In York tomorrow, can't wait! Thank you for the extremely kind words.
That looked delicious! Nice chunk of cod in a crispy batter and nicely cut chips. I couldn't wish for a better meal by the sea! Thanks very much.
Thanks for watching
👍👌. Good food and nice location to enjoy the breeze.
Yes indeed Martin!
@@GaryEats 👌🙏✨🌟
Looked delicious 😋,bit pricey but great location.Up here in Stringer 'Leeds',we eat take away fish and chips with our fingers,hands no time for messing around with plastic, wooden cutlery ,save that for the peas.Great review again 👍.
Won't be long before I'm in Yorkshire. Cheers Steve!
Looks delicious! I have not been back to the UK for many years, so there is very little early miss as I would love a fantastic play of fish chips..... And that looks well worth the waiting!.... I would have a little Pinot Grigio Tesco special under the table, but that's just me! 😂
Hope you manage to come back to the UK soon, Ian!
As usual you have left me hungry. You can’t beat a good cod n chips with plenty of salt n vinegar. 👍
You got that right Philip. One of the best meals.
Going to Brighton next weekend for my friend stag do. Staying over the night so will definitely try this place on the Sunday might have a pint instead of the tea though nothing like a pint to cure a hangover.
Have a great time my friend. Take a walk down there in the breeze to cure the hangover!
Hi Gary great vlog as always, i think the star of the show here was the fish, crispy batter lovely white flesh on the fish you can't ask for more.
Your score i think was bang on the money.
I think you may well hit the 5k subscribers this month, i do hope so.
Chris.
Thanks Chris. Hope you're well mate. Hopefully reach 5000 subs soon, can't believe I'm saying that!
Looks amazing Gary. Thanks for honest fantastic reviews
My pleasure and thank you so much.
Gary, that fish was amazing. So fresh! And a very good portion. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Love your videos Gary..you are very honest and a joy to watch ❤❤❤
That’s so very kind to say Marie x
Fantastic review as always, Gary! Great to see you enjoying yourself doing these reviews, it's a breath of fresh air in UA-cam land. Can't wait to see your reviews from Yorkshire, if you review fish and chips up there, you will have to try them with mushy peas, gravy and curry sauce. My wife loves to have that every time we go up there. Have a great rest of your day and speak to you soon, Gary. 😊
Thank you kindly Frank. Really appreciate your comments and recommendations as always. Hope you're well my friend :)
Yes Mr Gary yet another great video.
Glad you enjoyed it Robbie!
Good review and i agree with the 8.5 score, maybe next time order curry sauce and gravy 😉
Cheers Chris. Deffo need to try curry sauce on my next F&C review!
Morning Gary grey day in Brighton. Fish looked good not keen on mushy peas. Price ok as in Brighton and you would pay more as at the seaside. Glad you enjoyed the fish and chips I drive to Brighton shopping from time to time so I will give Captains a Go. Thank you again Gary.
More than welcome Susan!
Well done Gary another great video as usual keep up the good work I love your honesty on these vlogs
Thanks Chris! 👍
Hi. Gotta say that fish looked superb. Review just as entertaining as ever. Your enthusiasm shines through. Cheers and thanks again Gary!
It was good but nothing exceptional Stephen and thank you
Great video Gary. 👊We have the same seagull problems in Dublin, with seagulls travelling in from the sea (it's not far-Dublin is on the coast) into the city centre. No food source is safe fom these rascals! I know they're protected, but something needs to be done to curtail their ever-increasing numbers! Come to Dublin and taste the fish and chips here Gary!!!
Thank you mate. Can’t wait to come back to Ireland (my family are Irish). All the best and I may need to bring cameraman with me to bat off the pigeons!
Great review as always. A bit tight with the score out of ten though, considering you paid £19 for sausage and mash yesterday!!
Fair enough Michael. Maybe I added more yesterday because of the location. Cheers for watching!
Looks delicious - and has made me hungry for f&c. Glad you weren’t ‘attacked’ by the seagulls - they can be badly-behaved in Brighton!
Badly behaved and very loud. One gave the cameraman a few problems haha. Thanks for watching!
Can’t beat good finch and chimps by the sea, although the seagulls terrify the beejeebers out of me, you’re lucky they didn’t swoop in ! The fish looked fantastic, I couldn’t work out if they were proper chip shop chips. I’m sure you could do many, many more food reviews in Brighton, thanks for the great blog 👍🏻
I had cameraman for protection, he was swatting them away as they came ever closer... I will come back to Brighton later on in the year. Thank you!
Was waiting for a massive swop of 🕊️🕊️🕊️ on your fish and chips Gary.
Did look very nice.🌹♥️👍
I had to send cameraman out there to rough a few of them up! Cheers Dan.
*Awesome fish and chips and cracking location 👌🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻*
I hope you had a very enjoyable trip
Thank you! Had a great trip :)
@@GaryEats great to hear
I'm from Brighton and treated myself to Cod and chips tonight from Captains. I had a one legged pigeon pester me, I gave him a chip and suddenly he sprouted a new leg! Sneaky pigeons :) Excellent review and good to see you in my home town
That comment really made me laugh, Sam thank you very much
Great review as always Gary! Food looked lovely - but it was cheeky of them to serve it takeaway-style imho..
Yes it was Samantha and thank you
Great show, by the way!
Thank you!
Nice. Fish and chips is one of my all time favourite meals. That looked really good.
Hope you enjoyed!
Great review Gary, it had my mouth watering. And I live in Brighton!
Thank you mate :)
It looks delicious enjoy ❤ oh and the seagulls 😂
Thank you 😋 I was in fear.
Always loved the trip down to Brighton. Coffee and Danish on the train. Family on the beach and the pier. Fish and chips, ice cream then a cheeky can of something on the way home.
Sounds perfect Terrance 👌
Fly hawk kites on poles above cafes by the sea. Keeps the pesky gulls at bay. Another top drawer review. Thanks for that.
More than welcome Jeff. Luckily, I had the cameraman attempting to swat them away.
That looked superb
It was!
Great review - I agree with you, it’s expensive, the fish wasn’t that big!!!
Thanks Lee. Hope you're doing well mate!
in yorkshire ,the home of fish and chips ,cooked in beef dripping,the fish would be darker and its usually haddock, thats what you need to try ..we are masters of fish and chips in yorkshire always have been ...fish and chips and mushy peas near me £7
I really want to try beef dripping fish and chips. I've heard there's a brilliant one near Leeds - may have to go up there and try it. Thanks mate, great price!
@@GaryEats you need to mate .it must be skinless haddock and chips fried in beef dripping,
When he does go up to yorkshire, he pays way more than that!
@@sonyavincent7450 the little chippies are what you need.,£6.50 p where i am and you get mushy peas also🤣
Looked good Gary great review that was a small tub of peas though
Thanks Craig 👍 Agreed. The peas actually lowered the score a little!
Love your vlogs Gary really nice fish and chips
Thank you Julie!
Looks delisash. 😊
Gary, You have to watch those seagulls, they are bloody crafty mate 😂
Large cod & large chips here at my local chippy £10... But Brighton isn't cheap by any means compared to East coast where i live... The fish looked spot on! & i think your score was spot on too!
Great review!
Im gonna watch the Regency cafe one later as a few others have done it, & always great to see another take on it 👍
Cheers 🍻
Really appreciate you watching all of my videos Tel, goes a long way! Cheers mate.
Food looks good,I can't use wooden cutlery! I'm over half way watching now,wondering if the gulls fight you for your food 😂
It wasn't me that had trouble with them in the end... it was someone else. Haha, Thanks for watching!
I must say that did look excellent even just the appearance made me think it was going to be really fresh and tasty. A good portion of fish too, nice and thick and you could tell just by looking the batter was going to be right on point.
Hope you enjoyed watching this one :)
Excellent vlog Gary...more fish and chips please xxx
I will try Sharon! Thank you :)
Ahoy there Gary ! I agree with you on the cod & chips. Both looked very good. Crispy batter, big flakes of white fish & very nice looking chips (not too anaemic). When we were in the UK in July/August this year we had fish & chips at least 5 times but we had haddock (wife's choice). The best fish & chips we had was in a small fishing village in Scotland called Plockton (The Harbour Fish Bar) 10/10 easy ! Is cod your preferred fish? Agreed that the pricing was a tad high but on the seafront itself that does tend to happen. Great video again Gary - hope you & your camera man weren't too cold !
Hello there Robert! How are you? I like cod but I also really like haddock as well - I'm quite big on fish. I love seabass, what about you? I was fine and I think cameraman is still there trying to fight of those seagulls!
@@GaryEats I like haddock and cod but never tried seabass. My wife Jane prefers haddock as she says it has a more defined taste. We are both well here in Adelaide as I hope you are well over there. Seagulls - part of fish 'n' chips at the seaside. Poor camerman.
@@GaryEats I hope your cameraman get to eat some too after chasing away the seagulls😅😅
i always have haddock and chips... if you fancy going even further out of London for fish n chips try Henry's of Hunstanton, Norfolk. May be a tour around the coast chippys next year ??? Another great video !!
Thanks for the tips! The good news is that I'm going to Norfolk to review Poppylands at some point soon. Have you been?
no.... we're further up the coast towards Kings Lynn... also at Hunstanton you can watch the sunset over the sea, the only place on the east coast that faces west ! @@GaryEats
You're cameraman was made saying about sitting out there in weather like that!
I would of eat inside, I haven't been to this place in a few years and last time I wnt to Brighton went other places to eat but def this year!
On their lunchtime menu one of my fav things there is the: Aubergine rolls (4 pieces) stuffed with ricotta, tomatoes, scallions & nutmeg 😋
Another good review, Gary. Shame that you didn’t get to use a knife though! If a finger bowl had been on the table, I’d have understood! Plus, I agree a wedge of lemon would have been a nice touch. Must get Hubby Joe to take me to Brighton soon as I’ve not been for years. Best wishes. Fiona
Good stuff, I really hope you enjoy Brighton with Joe. Thanks Fiona :)
I personally prefer haddock but wow that cod looked good.😋 No skin either. Great Batter - yummy too, with mushy peas. Nice amount of chips. Delicious. Cheers.😋
I also prefer haddock! Thanks Geoff 😊
Cool@@GaryEats
Congrats on reaching the 100k mark Gary. Hope you get to celebrate the milestone! 🥳
That’s very kind to say thank you. I did have a couple of pints of Guinness last night.
Great review as always. I think you were extremely lucky not to be dive-bombed by the locals, you escaped lightly.
Very true David. Was expecting it to be like the red arrows!
A treat in deed,, fish and chips in Brighton by the Sea.
Perfect!
At last I found a review from my home town - I avoid the pier usually and already have my two go to Chippy's (one is called Chipwicks in Worthing - I highly recommend them to anyone from round my parts) but nice to see you in Brighton Gary - all the best Maf
I'll be in Brighton again soon!
Evening Gary👍nice to see you in the fresh air mate I'm glad it didn't rain on you. That fish looked really nice and a fair size as well with a good amount of chips, not being a fan of mushy peas I'd never know if they're good or bad. I imagine the price is about right for that kind of establishment and like you say it's easy enough to hunt round for cheaper. I hope the camera guy didn't get pecked to death by those gulls🤣cheers mate great video ✌️🍻
Finally got myself out of the capital's clutches! Although, I've seen the forecast for tomorrow in York... not good. He was having a lovely time having to deal with both seagulls and pigeons. Thanks for watching mate.
@@GaryEats have a good journey to York, sounds like you'll have to eat inside but ar least the feathered rats shouldn't be an issue🤣👍
Hahaha.
Yes that looks really good. Fresh tartare sauce would’ve been a nice addition.
Oh yes!
Hi Gary, I love your videos. I was on the palace pier in Brighton probably sometime in the early 1990s. There was a great fish and chips shop right on the pier. I don’t know if it still exists but have you eaten there? I remember it being so good. It was winter, but it wasn’t really cold. I sat on the pier outside and and ate.
I have not my friend. I haven't been to Brighton since the 90s - that was my last time there! Sorry I couldn't be of more help and thank you for the kind words!
Brighton Pier! Now, who is famous from there? Shirley Bassey? No. Looked absolutely scrumptious though. But the price?? 😮 A bit steep, considerjng you had to buy cuppa, tatare and mushy peas extra. . Paying for beachfront, fair dues. Tbh, Id have paid up too, that fish looked amazing. Thanks Gary and Cameraman.. hope he was able to nosh, and enjoyed your trip. Have fun, keep warm! ❤❤❤🎉🎉
I think the cameraman was too flustered by the pigeons and seagulls to eat anything today Mona! Agreed with your assessment. I do like Brighton. Hope you're doing very well!
GREAT REVIEW AGAIN THANKS
No problem 👍
🇦🇺 wow the place i want to visit next to London, this really good .
Fish and chips look honestly scrumptious. 10 👍😊🇦🇺
About an hour away from London… not too far! thanks.
Definitely on my list 😉, cheers 🥂 gazza
This was very good, not outstanding, but still very good Sidney and cheers 🥂
Oh come on Gary mate,out of your comfort zone 😂😂 it's London on Sea 😢😢 Pettey moan out of the way first. Can't stand fish&chips served in a box 😢 Wrapped up in paper, can be opened and spread apart 😊. That said, they looked bloomin lovely 😊 No salt or vinegar on show.Pre sprinkled ? Peas,not the glow in the dark verity. Tea a bit pricey. I always ate at Banker's, great food& even better staff. Do have a soft spot for Brighton.24yrs ago last Friday (29th September) me and the good lady got married on Brighton Race Course They(?) said it wouldn't last😂but here we are😊Ah memories, was cheaper back then,but so was everything. Did you get CTP a stick of rock or kiss me quick hat 🧢 Watch again soon Allan&Family ❤😊
Everything was much cheaper back then and I miss it a lot too. I'm going to be out of my comfort zone even more today. No stick of rock for CTP... he's still fighting those seagulls! Congratulations on your anniversary, onwards and upwards!
Looked very nice but agree 8 1/2 was a fair score. I would not have been able to eat that without the help of a knife!
We don't have mushy peas in Tasmania or curry sauce on chips either. We do have plenty of seagulls and flying rats however!
Flying rats?! That’s a new one. Thanks Anne!
They looked really nice and tasty. I can highly recommend a fish and chip restaurant in Nottingham, it’s called Moulin Rouge and it’s in the town centre. Gorgeous fish and chips and great service, you must give it a try if it’s still there which I hope it is, we were there last year. Best wishes from Sheffield😊
Best wishes to you as well my friend.
Yep, I'd give it a go without doubt. 8.5 was a very fair score for what looked like some good quality stuff. Note to myself - always carry a lemon around in pocket to skwidge on the fish !!
That’s a great idea Roger lol 😂
Ditch the mushy peas next time Gary & go for curry sauce.....much more tastier 😋😋
Definitely going to try curry sauce next time! Thanks mate.
Awesome! #Road_trips 👌
Thanks Nigel. In York tomorrow! ✌️
All looks nice, glad the gulls didn't get you 😄😄I give the looks of it and the place an 8.5
They pretty much got cameraman though, I left happily unscathed! Thanks for watching!
Gary, that is some nice cod! Thank you. I would rate 9 for the fish and chips, however for the overall meal an 8...🎉🎉🎉🎉
Was very nice Brian!
Thank you for another good review and probably the best views of the pier I have seen! You don't get fish and chips often? Hop aboard the train to Doncaster and go to Whitby's Fish and Chip Restaurant. It is located in the former fire station opposite the Main Racecourse Grandstand. You will get a very comfortable table, large plates and proper cutlery and good service.
Start with their large prawn cocktail followed by cod/haddock (from their Norwegion trawler), chips and mushy peas washed down by John Smiths bitter. I declare no involvement in their company; I just enjoy their food.
I will do. Really appreciate your tips and recommendations as it always helps me!
Thank you for your kind comments. I hope you travel down to Doncaster and enjoy the fish and chips. I look forward to watching your review; it will be worth watching! @@GaryEats
Thanks mate. As I said, I will do my best to get up there and review it for you :)
Did look a lovely bit of fish, albeit a bit expensive 👍
Absolutely brilliant fish!
Looked great fish and chips that Gary think them seagulls was eyeing that fish up mate 😂
Tell me about it Howlie. Had to send cameraman out there to rough them up a bit haha!
@@GaryEats 😂😂
looks nice Gary
Cheers Michael.
Ah just down the road from me, unfortunately the weather wasn’t on your side was it, good fish and chips mind you, do like a nice piece of haddock, although £2 for mushy peas is really expensive for that size but that batter sounded amazing
Wasn't a sunny day at Brighton for a change, Chris!
Looked good fish and chips Gary ..a bit high priced but you have to take account of the location by the sea..as my grandmother used to say ‘ you are paying for the table cloth ‘ whenever there was above average decor or location 👍
Of course David!
good stuff have to visit
Thank you very much for watching
Whenever I visit Brighton I always go to the Regency opposite the West Pier which is quite excellent and they lend you a proper metal knife and fork and plate at no extra charge.
I won’t be in Brighton for a while Ronald but when I’m next in the area I will take a look, thank you for watching and commenting really appreciated 😊
Haha had to.laugh in Brighton and there is add for irn bru. Made from girders in Scotland
Hhaha. Well spotted.
Nice one Gary.Should of taken a walk down to the nudist beach,not so many seagulls.
Haha thanks Steve. The pigeons were almost more of a problem!
Lovely place
Enjoyed it!
Looked nice Gary in Dagenham fish and chips r like £13 so i dont find this too expensive esp the location great vlog as always
Thanks Jodie, good price then! 👍
That fish looked lovely Gary, although being up north, I prefer Haddock. As for the skin on/skin off debate, I lean more towards skin off. But like you, I don't mind if the skin is on either. Great review.
Nice one mate. I also prefer haddock!
I would want a plate 😊
And definitely a cup or mug 😊
😎😎
That fish looks lovely yum yum how's you been keeping
I'm very well thank you Luke. How are you?
Really steep price Gary lad, maybe playing on their unofficial title. For £15 I’d want something a bit more substantial than that. Good review, keep up the good work.
Hello mate. Hope you're well - thanks and fair comment!
Any chip shop who does not make their own tartar sauce is not worth a toffee Gary!
Fair assessment! Cheers for watching :)
That looks like a decent fish and chips
Very decent. Can see why they're highly rated!
Fish looked delicious!
Enjoyed it!
🌜🦋🦋 nice food and a great view, or u need now is a cold 🍺🦋🦋🌛
Sat there only a couple of weeks ago, my son lives in Brighton, so that's where we decided.
Great stuff Colin. Hope you enjoyed!
Great review! Hopefully you will find somewhere equally recommendable for quantity, quality and price in London?
I’ve got a few on the list that are supposed to be excellent!
Love your videos, so unpretentious. The fish and chips looked really good. Tartare sauce in a plastic bag? Not good. Nor is £2.50 for a cup of tea in paper cup. My favourite cafe has a pot of tea made with tea leaves for your cuppa - and it is good as well as being cheap.
Thank you!
A bit pricey I thought. Fish looked nice, and meaty with crispy batter. Chips good, peas good. Yes a wedge of lemon required. 9/10 from me.
A wedge of lemon is always forgotten about but a really important part of fish and chips for me. Thanks for watching!
You're a brave man ....what with all the dive bomber seagulls about.
After watching a super video review I'm definitely going to my local chippy for supper. My missus has made a greenpea and ham soup but I'm on the mood for fish and chips now. Isn't Brighton gorgeous.
Thank you mate, have a good time!
Cheers Gary
Cheers Mike. Hope you're well.
Portion looked very small for the price imo. Glad to hear they took the skin off though. Only wrong uns leave the skin on.
Haha the old skin on/skin off debate. I'm happy with either!
The batter did look nice and thin and crispy, nothing worse than greasy stodgy batter. Peas with a touch of mint sauce would of been tastier. The only thing I would of liked for that price would of been proper cutlery and a proper plate. Nice to see awnings over the tables though, nothing worse than a gift from a seagull! If you ever come near Christchurch Quay, Dorset. I would like to see you try their Fish & Chips, supposed to be the biggest and best around, and for £17.95 so it should be! Another great video, shame the weather wasn't better for you and your compadre!
I can definitely make my way down to Dorset soon. Let me know some of the best places and I'll be there!
I can't afford the best places, and my Mrs is such a fussy eater, it wouldn't be worth it anyway, she would be continuously complaining, lol!@@GaryEats
Hi Gary you get around you cannot beat fish and chips.Been to that one number one on Tripadvisor not sure if it still is.When I went sat outside they were ok nothing special.
Going even further out today mate. Still #1 and I have to say I enjoyed it. Cheers!
Cant beat sitting by the sea with a quality fish n chips
Much agreed. Would have preferred some sun but can't be too spoilt!
