    fresh chips should be a little crisp on outside, problem is when you have them to take away the steam they give off trapped inside the paper or container they are in quickly turns them soggy. Secret is keep them open not wrapped.

    Back when I was a kid in the 50s and 60s. Fish and chips were considered a very cheap hot meal. But really delicious. At that time they were cooked in Beef Dripping. The chips should be soft. The dominant flavour should involve lots of salt and malt vinegar. Scraps (loose bits of batter, supplied free) helped to soak up the salt and vinegar. It all started to go wrong in the 70s. Fish became more expensive and so chip shops lowered the quality or freshness of fish, to keep costs down. They also switched to frying in oil. Then came the idea of different sauces rather than vinegar. Back in the early 1800s most people would only taste sea fish when visiting the coast. All that changed with the early railways. Suddenly fresh sea fish was available in land, and the whole thing boomed, into every town and village.

  • @stephenhodgson3506
    @stephenhodgson3506 4 роки тому

    The greasiness of the fish and chips depends on how long they have been out of the fryer. If they are fresh out they tend to be greasier, while if they've had a chance to stand and drain they will be crisper. Mushy peas are made from marrowfat peas which are peas that have been left to mature and dry out in the field. Unlike other peas which are picked fresh. Mushy peas also go nice with pork pies and a tough of mint sauce.

      Blackporsche roadster. Who cares what thickipedia have written on their notoriously inaccurate site. I will admit that some inferior people have used artificial colouring in their produce, but I was taught how to make food without using anything artificial by my grandmother, who was the head cook in a factory canteen and she also taught my aunt who was also head cook at another factory in the area. So I feel justified in saying that in this case I am correct.

      business in general and the fish and chips trade in particular. The two people who I have mentioned already made their way into the trade via the fish shops that were in their neighbourhoods at the time and in the case of my aunt when she left the factory, she and her husband invested their redundancy pay in a small lock-up type of fish shop, which did a very good trade until my uncle had to retire due to illness. So don’t say that I am unaware of the trade and I submit that my knowledge of this trade is certainly more accurate than any information that you have found on line.

    Fish and chips can be very hit and miss in the UK. You need to chose your shop well. It looks like you did pretty well, especially with the fish. You're right, mushy peas isn't a dip. Chips aren't meant to be like that really. People don't cook them like that at home. They're meant to be slightly crispy on the outside and soft potato on the inside - more like a thick French fry. Cod is the fish which is traditionally served, but haddock, plaice or sole are also delicious. Also, fish and chips doesn't "keep" or travel at all well - it's best eaten straight away because carrying it around in a box and plastic bag makes the batter soft and the chips floppy. 😁
    The shops usually ask if you want salt and vinegar. Traditionally, that would just go over the chips, although some shops insist on throwing tons of it over absolutely everything - so just ask them to stop if they're going ape-crazy with the condiments! ✋✋✋✋✋ 🥴
    Historically, mushy peas are much more of a northern English thing, although you do find them everywhere now. It's very interesting that you both love it...for some reason I actually find them quite disgusting...and being half northern that's almost a sacrilegious comment!

      Only if the fish is older will you get the taste you describe if it is freshly caught cod is better but as the haddock ages better then you see this, down here in the south the fish and chips are just terrible, I think its down to the oil they tend to use in the south and the freshness of the fish or fish cooked from frozen which is no good.
