    I am 64 and I have had pescaíto frito con patatas since I was a child, it is typical in the south of Spain. We mainly use whiting fish (my favourite) but lately other fishes are being used, like codfish, hake, haddock,....

    Stu, your meal reminds me of an absolutely wonderful mixed pescado frito dinner I ate in Sevilla. It was at a tiny restaurant near the river. There were five varieties of fish, including fresh sardines. Just a little papitas on the side. Alioli was heavenly. A feast for this fish lover!❤

    Pescado rebozado lo hay en España o Portugal desde hace siglos. Es mas...rebozar este tipo de productos del mar se le llama "a la romana". Es una practica muy antigua y freir patatas desde la llegada desde America es también practica común. Que un país como Inglaterra que ha tenido domino de muchisimos países en todo el mundo su "plato estrella" sea Pescado rebozado y patatas fritas es increiblemente triste. Francia, España, Portugal, Italia, etc han desarrollado una cocina mucho mas elaborada gracias a los productos propios y los que asimilaron de la época de los descubrimientos incluido las especias de Asia. No se porque los ingleses no han tenido un desarrollo en su cocina mucho mayor como estos otros países.

    That meal looked delicious Stuart. The merluza looked very fresh with very nice and not greasy batter. lovely crispy chips aswell. The whole meal looked very appetizing. As a child growing up in London, we would often have fish and chips on a Friday night. In those days it was considered a cheap meal. I got myself some fish and chips a couple of weeks ago from a local chippy to have a night off cooking. I ordered plaice and chips to take away. When I got home, the paper it was wrapped up in was sodden with grease. The fish was delicious but the batter wasn't very crispy and the chips were soggy. That was from the best fish and chip shop in the area and it cost £19.75 with no starter or postre. All in all yours looked a million times better. Great video Stuart. Looking forward to the next one.

    Good, honest review. You seem to have been running a streak of good luck on restaurants lately. The biggest reason for the fish and chips being crispy is that they cook at a high temperature. One reason that things come out too greasy is that the oil is not hot enough when they cook.

    Hi Stu. Watched your video yesterday but could not comment until today. We have a lovely bar/restaurant here in Turre in Andalucia that does very good fish and chips on a Friday. They started out at 9.50 euros including a glass of wine (4 yrs ago now). Currently serving at 12.50 but still includes a glass of wine. You can have garden or mushy peas or salad and the chips are hand cut and quite chunky. They use cod and do 3 small but chunky pieces of fish and for me too many chips. I like hake too and would definitely try those you had. Thank you for your food videos and keep them coming. It is interesting to find out what the dishes look like on a plate as if it's a first time try it is not always easy to imagine. Again our local is run by a Romanian family with a Spanish and English waiters. They do a menu del dia for 13.50 too and change this by rota every week.

For the lack of meat and access to the rest of vegetables this became very popular in the rest of the country because it was cheap and nutritious. This kind of technique of coated fish or meat is not present in the rest of British gastronomy, but it's typical in the Spanish and Portuguese, mostly in the South.

    I have had the Spanish version at the port of Mazarron and that was also good food and good value.
    There is also a British fish and chip shop for takeaways only which was also good when we used it but strangely it was more expensive than the eat-in restaurants.

    Interesting, I was caught by surprise the other day, with a "revuelto de bacalao" at a friend's restaurant. The dish was like a plate of chips, fried but with a little steemy feeling, and cod mixed into it. I tried it, I askef for ketchup immediately, it tasted to me like the original fish and chips! took me right there with the ketchup, but then I guess, I'm an expat since age 4. Next time I'll try it with vinegar, that's a classic also. I love ali-oli, but if it tastes anything like fish and chips, I'll go the English way with ketchup or vinegar ;)

    What you are having in the "coca casamiento" is an anchovy with a sardine, not whitebait.

    • @georgezee5173
      @georgezee5173 Місяць тому

      It's not a sardine, though, but a "boquerón", which is an anchovy that has been marinated in vinegar, bleaching out it's natural colour.

      @@georgezee5173 I agree that "casamiento" (more usually called "matrimonio") pintxos are practically always an antxoa with a boquerón, but in this case it's a sardine, I checked the restaurant menu when he shows it. Check minute 1:35.

      @@isabelferran1883 Oh I see. I hadn''t paid attention to the menu, to be honest, and now that you mention it, it's definitely a sardine, looking much bigger than an anchovy or a boquerón for that matter. In Stu's defence, "whitebait" is a broad term used for calling "baby" fish from several species, including sardines.

    Como curiosidad, las dos piezas de pescado del "casamiento" son el mismo pescado. La diferencia es que la anchoa esta tratada en salazón, y el boquerón no, pero son el mismo pez. Es como tener un tomate en salazón y otro al natural, ambos son el mismo fruto.
    Sobre el allioli, si lleva huevo, no es allioli, es mahonesa con ajo. El allioli se hace solo con aceite, ajo y sal. Y no lo digo por ser purista al estilo de la gente con la paella que todo loq ue se sale de la norma ya no es paella, lo digo, porque la mahonesa, con o son ajo, es un tipo de receta que tiene un sabor concreto, y el allioli es otra receta que tiene una textura y sabor diferente a la mahonesa (tenga o no ajo). Es como comparar mermelada y gelatina, pueden parecerse, pero en la boca, son muy diferentes.
