Haven’t lived in the UK for 43 years and absolutely love T&Js. The best fish and chips this side of Yorkshire. Eat there regularly. Try to go a few times a month. Also the owner’s are lovely people! Always very welcoming.
@@robertwilson7045 40 years ago, the chippy I worked in as a youth, the Haddock fillets came in half stone boxes and I'd cut them into ~2-4 portions or a 'special' which were the single smaller fillets, which is probably what Lee was served. The Icelandic Cod fillets came in and I'd cut them into 10+ thicker portions. Some Cod fillets came in a single 2stone box, so were much much thicker then the Haddock, but never looked as impressive as the Haddock.
That food looked really nice. It wasn't until the 17th Century that fried fish first made an appearance on British shores. It was actually brought over by Sephardic Jews from Portugal and Spain, who got the idea from a traditional food they knew and loved from their old homes, called pescadito frito.
Welcome to the MacMaster, world fish and chip tour! You are becoming renowned for your food reviews, renowned for not really knowing what you are on about.😅 I hear there are a couple of good fish and chip shops in northern Siberia, I would be keen to see you go and try them.🤔🙄 To stay true to your methodology, while in Cyprus you could walk around for a couple of hours looking at Cypriot restaurants, and then decide to eat in a mall food court.😂😉
Hi Lee, looks like you had a lucky find with the Olde English fish and chip shop. I rate it 8/10 which is a pretty good score. Yes, I loved fish and chips when I was in London. Bit of a hit or miss but when it was good you forget all your guilt about the batter. In fact, that's when you know the fish is great ! I like how you included other people in your video. Makes sense to ask their opinion and mix things up a bit, as they say. Looking forward to the next episode, Mr MacMaster !
The tradition of serving fish n chips with lemon (or vinegar in the poorer north of the UK) was to cut through the mouth-feel fat. Fish n chips were traditionally cooked in animal fats, which left your mouth coated in goo, due to the high melting point. Vinegar (or lemon juice if you're further south) would aid the digestion of that animak fat mouth coating. A hot cup of tea also did the same job, hence that tradition too. Today, fish n chips are cooked in vegetable shortenings which have a lower melting point then body temperature so dont actually require the acidic digestion assistance. (File that useless info and forget it!)
The only thing that shouldn't be anywhere near a Fish Supper is gravy. Other than that, have it how you like it. Great video, and that restaurant looks superb.
Wow, those fish and chips looked amazing Lee. I loved the crunch to that batter too and the staff seemed so lovely and hospitable. Considering this is abroad, they've got that spot on. Many chippies here should watch this video and taje note. Definitely 10/10 all day long mate👌👌👍👍
They were stunning looking fish n chips! That Haddock would have been a 'special' Haddock in the chippy i worked in as a youth, near Sheffield. Well done T&J! (and MacMaster)
Its Like UK with Sun :-) That's why we go regular.. Drive on same side and when in Paphos make sure you go into the indoor shopping center with the waterfalling down the glass and a £1 shop on top floor :-)
Mister Macmaster! Lee fish & chips looked bob on mate !😊 who would have thought ya travelled hundreds of miles & found fish & chips like being in Mansfield 🎉 blue skies again...well almost 🌞☁️🎉
Well discovered, you are the Sherlock Holmes of the Fish and Chip shops Dave missed a perfect set up , “ it’s the best fish and chip shop IN THE WOOOOORRRLLLDDD” They looked lovely 👍👍👍 Take care and Onwards my friend ❤️👍👍
I thought you asked for Haddock Lee, that was Cod, a large one at that. I know this because I have been there many times.When they first open & for a few months, that piece of fish was a regular piece, the large was huge, I was there last in October 24 , the fish & chips are still brilliant, but shrinkflation has set in & noticeably so, & by the way, they are still the best fish & chips, not just in Paphos but i would say in Cyprus & yes, I have been to a few. Mandria 15 minutes up the road used to be the best, until T& J'S come on the scene.
Sad to see Paphos is STILL a building site. I say STILL as this has been ongoing for 2 years !?# I and friends used to love coming to Paphos but stopped due to the constant works going on. I live near Birmingham where the incompetent bankrupt council are still finishing the Metro after 7 YEARS !!! The last thing we want is to see more of the same when we go on holiday 😟🤔😱😠
I would also rate it 10/10. About £18. I pay £9.90 for takeaway cod and chips locally with no mushy peas, curry sauce, drink, or bread and butter. Plus, Lee was eating in a restaurant which costs more anyway, so it was all very good value. Why not go back tomorrow to try the dessert menu?
That fish n chips looks stunning it made me feel hungry loved the sandwich that was really nice shame I was eating marmalade on toast at the time.mmmmm
Hi Lee The place looks amazing,did you say where in Lancashire the owner came from? Regarding salt and vinegar I’ve turned proper American Ketchup on the chips and tartare sauce on the fish! Like you , I love chip butties however, you can’t get the same taste of bread in NJ. Take care
A nice vlog. As you are in Paphos, you might see various people on your travels wearing binoculars. They are birders (bird watchers!) and in the area to try and see migrant birds which are passing through. Paphos headland is a good spot.
Sorry to disappoint you but John Smiths is still brewed in Yorkshire unless Tadcaster has moved. CAMRA used to do badge that said "John Smiths is fowl" as their emblem was a chicken or rooster. They were right it's still foul
im going to cyprus and staying in paphos in the queens bay hotel this coming september, at 43 its my first time leaving the uk to go on holiday believe it or not lol.. mac im deffo going to go to this very same fish and chip shop...looked so scrumptious. i cant wait :) great video sir , subbed
Those fish & chips looked fantastic. Far better than some of the crap I’ve bought in the U.K. - favouritism with the extra large piece of fish maybe LOL 😂. Looking forward to the local food stuff as well. I don’t get why people question you for trying fish & chips wherever you go. Some people collect train numbers or bus numbers, your the anorak of the fish & chip world 12/10
Rather scant range of fish, Cod and Haddock(seems I am wrong on Haddock by your meal) both rather greasy oily fish to my recollection. I much prefer our Australian 🇦🇺 choices of fish at Fish & Chip shops . I do realise you missed that oily Cod as a choice here, but to me Snapper, Flathead, Flake (shark), Hoki and so many more non oily/greasy fish varieties are preferred.
I’ll keep it short as I’m watching this at 3am in the morning feeling rather exhausted. Great looking fish & chips and a good ole chip butty for good measure. For me though leave the teabag in for a proper builders brew. Just add milk around it.
The Marquee bar in Pattaya do an excellent fish and chips meal with mushy peas s etc,iced water for 120tbht=£2,70 on Fridays and a Sunday roast for same 120 tbht too.
Fish and chips look amazing I love them I could eat then every day lol and I've also got Ben shaws shandy bought 5 bottles on Sunday at home bargains anyway mate stay safe and thanks for another amazing video
Fish heads and Lard! You bloody snob! When I was young in winter time......our family had to sit round a candle. If it got really cold.....my dad would light the candle. He also gave me an empty box one Christmas.....and told me it was....an action man deserter.
The thing is, unfortunately the vast majority of blokes don't wash their hands after going to public toilets, even after laying a log!... They are pretty disgusting creatures lol so i don't trust them at all to be hygienic in the slighest... There's absolutely no reason to be directly touching the food on the plate like that with their hands!... I can cook just as fast and proficiently without touching anything after it's been cooked.
You should he in your element.😊 there menu looks good ,tou should of tryed there fish cake ,there the kind i always wanted to try. Yummo This place looks so clean and professional.
Had to clean the drool off my keyboard before typing this! That looked PROPER tasty. I wish we had a proper chippy over here in The Netherlands. Al's chippy in Amsterdam closed up shop years ago and since then there's nowhere to get proper UK-style fish 'n chips anywhere in NL. (Unless someone can correct me on that? ...and please do feel very free to correct me on that!)
Good Evening Lee, You really such a very Lovely Gentleman, asking another patron of this Beautiful Fish and Chip Establishment, run by Thomas and Jonathan, i was over the moon when i heard you say my Name of another person. Jonathan is a very popular name to have, i really like my name Lee. This was The Best Fish & Chips in the World. That piece of Haddock was so mouth watering, The Chips were just Out of this World, The Mushy Peas were just the Best ever and The Curry Sauce in it's own Vessel was so Gorgeous. The Best Fish & Chip Establishment in CYPRUS!!!!!!!!. I will score this time of........ Establishment 10/10....... Atmosphere 12/10....... The Food 15/10...... This really was the Greatest Food review and a Superb video Lee my Friend.
Haven’t lived in the UK for 43 years and absolutely love T&Js. The best fish and chips this side of Yorkshire. Eat there regularly. Try to go a few times a month. Also the owner’s are lovely people! Always very welcoming.
Notice your fish is twice the size of the other dinners portions :-)
That's because they are not UA-camrs!
Mine was haddock, theirs was cod.
@@TheMacMaster ...yeah the guy said he preferred cod , smaller because it's more expensive.
OK I believe you

Loved the two girls serving you and that dry no nonsense sense of humour, brilliant😃. 10 plus.😉xx
nothing makes the macmaster happier than a decent chippy
That food looked really nice.
It wasn't until the 17th Century that fried fish first made an appearance on British shores. It was actually brought over by Sephardic Jews from Portugal and Spain, who got the idea from a traditional food they knew and loved from their old homes, called pescadito frito.
Looks like a scrumptious meal. My Liverpool grandpa used to say chew your mouthful 32 times.
That was with stolen tyres & wheels, not food!
That lady serving you was not taking in your salt and vinegar analogy at all 😂
Welcome to the MacMaster, world fish and chip tour! You are becoming renowned for your food reviews, renowned for not really knowing what you are on about.😅 I hear there are a couple of good fish and chip shops in northern Siberia, I would be keen to see you go and try them.🤔🙄

looking at Cypriot restaurants, and then decide to eat in a mall food court.😂😉
And yet again I'm off for a fish n chip super, thanks Lee i can barely fit into my clothes since i subscribed to your channel 😂😂🇮🇪
You teased us with the Greek Meze yesterday and then went for fish 'n' chips anyway. Phil and Janice will be livid. 😂
Ha. I did go for proper Greek food. Coming soon. 👍🏼

They taste far better in animal fat though. Beef dripping is the best. They have no flavour when done in oil.....
Looked really good. You could hear the crunch on the batter. Yummy
Can you please use a music machine that doesn't sound like a 1970 cassette with a exhausted battery
What’s wrong with that ? I miss cassette tapes warts n all 😂
That's a good vibe there at the chippy, I expect there'll be queues out the door based on your recommendation! 😋
I think that's the thickest piece of haddock I've ever seen you have Lee...looked lovley...certain 10 for me...👍
Fish and chips- great video my friend..
The only thing that shouldn't be anywhere near a Fish Supper is gravy. Other than that, have it how you like it. Great video, and that restaurant looks superb.

Mate, you could have fed an army with the size of that serving. Haddock is not something readily available in Oz but it looked superb.
Hi you love your fish and chips and you make me feel good thank you Lee take care.❤
Well Lee you are in the best fish and chips restaurant in Cyprus we go there every time we have stayed in paphos great food and great service
They were stunning looking fish n chips! That Haddock would have been a 'special' Haddock in the chippy i worked in as a youth, near Sheffield. Well done T&J! (and MacMaster)
Please tell me you didn't pay for that haircut 😂
The girls there always give my dog a battered sausage. And a cone of chips walking along the sea front is amazing
Great looking fish and chips...hopefully a few British shop's will improve to that quality...
Its Like UK with Sun :-) That's why we go regular.. Drive on same side and when in Paphos make sure you go into the indoor shopping center with the waterfalling down the glass and a £1 shop on top floor :-)
Zoo up the road across from brilliant beach..Coral Bay just past Aldi on right 🤣
Mister Macmaster! Lee fish & chips looked bob on mate !😊 who would have thought ya travelled hundreds of miles & found fish & chips like being in Mansfield 🎉 blue skies again...well almost 🌞☁️🎉
Those Fish and chips looked absolutely amazing , x
Was there tartar sauce? I like a little tartar sauce on the fish.
Exactly !
Well discovered, you are the Sherlock Holmes of the Fish and Chip shops Dave missed a perfect set up , “ it’s the best fish and chip shop IN THE WOOOOORRRLLLDDD”
They looked lovely 👍👍👍

Thank mate. I'd go back to Cyprus tomorrow. ❤❤❤❤
One comment it all looks so good but the gius handles the fish and chips with their bare hands instead of using tongs or something else.
I would also rate it 10/10. About £18. I pay £9.90 for takeaway cod and chips locally with no mushy peas, curry sauce, drink, or bread and butter. Plus, Lee was eating in a restaurant which costs more anyway, so it was all very good value. Why not go back tomorrow to try the dessert menu?
Excellent Lee. Great vid - my mouth was drooling. 11/10 for the F&C et al. Onward.....😁
Lee get yourself into the Piano Bar Magaluf...60's,70's and 80's music...have a fab time Macmaster😊
That was a good sized fish Lee, can safely say you got your monies worth.
Hi Lee.Your fish and chips from T&J's had me drooling. Would you rate them in your top 5 of all time or top ten??
That fish n chips looks stunning it made me feel hungry loved the sandwich that was really nice shame I was eating marmalade on toast at the time.mmmmm
Hi Lee The place looks amazing,did you say where in Lancashire the owner came from? Regarding salt and vinegar I’ve turned proper American Ketchup on the chips and tartare sauce on the fish! Like you , I love chip butties however, you can’t get the same taste of bread in NJ. Take care
Well done Lee. Enjoyed that.
A nice vlog. As you are in Paphos, you might see various people on your travels wearing binoculars. They are birders (bird watchers!) and in the area to try and see migrant birds which are passing through. Paphos headland is a good spot.
❤ lovely man giving a free review 😊
Sorry to disappoint you but John Smiths is still brewed in Yorkshire unless Tadcaster has moved. CAMRA used to do badge that said "John Smiths is fowl" as their emblem was a chicken or rooster.
They were right it's still foul
Lovely.
3 28 we have a similar picture just a bit further round. We did CRETE many years ago. The Minor Tour of course!!!
David and Lily.
Thanks for finding this "plaice", we missed it last time we were in Paphos, will definitely pay it a visit next time
Lee as a plastic Yorkshire man you should be making the most of the gravy 👍
Yorkshire tea is obviously grown in Yorkshire !!!
And has a Royal Warrant!
Lee, that is probably one of the best plates of fish and chips i have seen, all i need is a flight to Cyprus, cheers.
Without doubt you're the best click bait guy on the internet. Great content 👍
Hi Lee. Glad you got your fish and chips lovely vlog.
Looks good! How does it compare against original Harry Ramsdens in Guisley (now closed down sadly)
im going to cyprus and staying in paphos in the queens bay hotel this coming september, at 43 its my first time leaving the uk to go on holiday believe it or not lol..
mac im deffo going to go to this very same fish and chip shop...looked so scrumptious.
i cant wait :)
great video sir , subbed
What a great looking meal Lee. You certainly have a way of finding the best food. 😄
Cracking video my friend, looked top notch 👌
looking forward to these videos as my dad lives in cyprus, so when i see him will know what to expect.
Those fish & chips looked fantastic. Far better than some of the crap I’ve bought in the U.K. - favouritism with the extra large piece of fish maybe LOL 😂.

Food looked spot on. 🎉 making me hungry.
Fish and chips looks amazing. I never put salt on fish and chips vinegar yes curry if I fancy it. ❤
What an amazing example of traditional fish and chips …..I shared your enjoyment
Made my mind up on dinner today looking at that food.
salt first, wash it off with loads of vinegar, then more salt, and some vinegar in the mushy peas ; winning!
I’ll keep it short as I’m watching this at 3am in the morning feeling rather exhausted. Great looking fish & chips and a good ole chip butty for good measure. For me though leave the teabag in for a proper builders brew. Just add milk around it.
Yes, fish and chips definitely looked good.
Thanks Lee ❤
The Marquee bar in Pattaya do an excellent fish and chips meal with mushy peas
s etc,iced water for 120tbht=£2,70 on Fridays and a Sunday roast for same 120 tbht too.

She was hard work, blimey!
😂
At first I wondered if she'd been a Blackpool landlady in a previous life.
She came good in the end though.
Looks nice
What do you think of Paphos apart from road works ?
Luxury, when I were young we had fish heads and lard every Friday.
Fish heads and Lard!
You bloody snob!
When I was young in winter time......our family had to sit round a candle.
If it got really cold.....my dad would light the candle.
He also gave me an empty box one Christmas.....and told me it was....an action man deserter.
I do agree the portion is great, for the price, I guess that is part of lower Greek prices.
Hope you injoy 😊😊😊
Great video Lee, fish and chips and mushy peas looked yummy, i always like a chip butty to😊👍👍
Another tip put some vinegar on the peas
Lovely fish it looked huge the size of a mermaids flipper.
Looks amazing 👏 🤤
WoW Lee, you made me hungry with Harrys Cafe De wheels meat pie, and again with that delicious crispy feed of fish n chips 😋 👍 Au
Too many fingers touching the cooked food to be hygienic
They can't magic them on the plate. :0)
They could use tongs
Get a grip ffs
The thing is, unfortunately the vast majority of blokes don't wash their hands after going to public toilets, even after laying a log!... They are pretty disgusting creatures lol so i don't trust them at all to be hygienic in the slighest...
There's absolutely no reason to be directly touching the food on the plate like that with their hands!... I can cook just as fast and proficiently without touching anything after it's been cooked.
John Smiths is brewed in 21 High St, Tadcaster
Look back in the comments my friend told you about T & J’s yesterday.just saying.😊❤
That filet was properly deboned. They cut the little lateral line bones out. And the coating looked nice and crispy.
Excellent fish & chips in going to have to eat some today 😂
I tell my Hubby off for putting his hat on the table. X
All looked amazing !
go and try Sotiraki Markidi Ave 25, Paphos 8046, Cyprus it is called Tasty Fast Food & Lounge.

This place looks so clean and professional.

Yum, that fish and chips looked Handsome!
Had to clean the drool off my keyboard before typing this! That looked PROPER tasty. I wish we had a proper chippy over here in The Netherlands. Al's chippy in Amsterdam closed up shop years ago and since then there's nowhere to get proper UK-style fish 'n chips anywhere in NL. (Unless someone can correct me on that? ...and please do feel very free to correct me on that!)
9:07 That must be the biggest piece of fish Lee's ever been served!
Fantastic presentation and big enough to feed a family of 4 . Expensive but oozes quality.
