    I worked in a chippy for 5 ish years. Our chip prep included parboiling in oil at a slightly lower temp for ~4mins at the start of the work day. We then removed them and held them to the side to be chucked into the boiling oil when needed.

    Another Brit here. There is a North/South divide when it come to fish choice in the UK. Up here in Scotland we tend to use haddock as it has more flavour as well as a more meaty texture while still flaking well. Down South in England they tend to go for the less flavourful but softer [often a bit mushy] Cod. Though haddock is often cheaper most UK chefs will use haddock over cod due to that better flavour.
    If I'm making battered fish rather than breaded I go for a vodka & ginger beer batter for extra lightness & crispiness that's off the scale.
    Your chips looked good. Could only be improved by using a "crinkle cutter" to make them. May seem gimmicky I know but it increases the surface area meaning even more crunch & sauce holding abilities.
    Plus you've got to have a pickled egg or pickled onion on the side. It's almost a national law! 😁

      Haddock is usually more expensive, coming from a fishing area fishermen would never eat cod they called it a dirty fish as it’s a bottom feeder. Haddock is the go to in my area! Loaded with salt and vinegar and mushy peas!

    I have a question because this is the big thing that is stopping my family from deep frying. How do you get rid of the frying oil? There's a crap done of regulations saying we can't toss it in the garbage, you can't use it for compositing, and if you dump it down the sink or or toilet then you're just in for a bad time. How do you do it? How do you get rid of your fry oil once you're done?

    As much as I love your videos man... it's not "cheaper" if you have to invest hours/days worth of time into it. You might save like... a couple of bucks per serving by doing it this way, but if someone is concerned about the price of their food enough to want to watch "but cheaper" videos for the actual savings, I think it's a safe bet they're likely not going to have/want to spend the time to do all these extra steps.
    I myself am a single dad of three kids under 10 and work full time - I want cheap and good value portions to feed four + leftovers, but I do not have hours and hours to spend being fancy with pre-cooking and chilling potatoes overnight etc. It's not even so much about the time doing it but the complexity of adding extra steps on top of every other thing I have to think about with my limited time. I understand these steps are totally optional and just to enhance the dish, but honestly it's kinda off-putting to watch a video about "cheaper" recipes then sigh because it turns out it's a 2 day process to make fish and chips. Food for thought on the branding of the series I guess.

      @@FloreFaune Even if I ignore the fact that saying it's "20 minutes" is very misleading because that implies it's a weeknight after work recipe when it's very much so not, this is only "20 minutes" if you are making exactly one serving, have everything you need equipment and ingredient wise already out, and are a professional chef who can do a fine dice in no time flat. Even just one serving is 10 minutes of fry time alone. For us mortals who haven't fine diced thousands of shallots, 10-20 minutes is a pretty good estimate for how long the sauce will take. Expect to spend at least an hour in the kitchen actively cooking (not including clean up) if you actually try this.
      Not that I would expect anything that involves deep frying to actually be a short recipe, but I'm okay with this kind of argument for a braised dish or a stew where you just cut your potatoes+veggies, sear the meat, deglaze, and plop it in the oven for a few hours, but nothing about this recipe is simple. The batter is probably the simplest thing, and that's not a great place to be.
