    I’m still working my way through all your past videos and they really are brilliant. You are such a genuine guy and you have a refreshing honesty about you. I don’t eat a lot of processed food units mainly because my husband has kidney failure and most processed food is loaded with salt especially todays bag of plastic doner meat. Don’t ever change!
    They say everyone has a double and you are my nephews doppelgänger. If I passed you in the street I’d swear you were him. Right to that big wide smile.

    For one person that is a good size portion, what makes it more amaxing is that it is chilled and not frozen. May well try this one, although I will switch out the minted mushy peas for plain ones. Don't feel bad about the phoba with the fish, cooking in someone else's kitchen is always hit and miss. Thank your mum for hosting this review.

    I've tried Sainsbury's version, and the portions are huge for one person. Sainsbury's method of dealing with the mushy peas is to cut the top of the sachet and stand it up in a cup to microwave. My oven isn't working properly and I don't have an airfryer, so no fish and chips for me until I get myself sorted.

    actually that looks fairly decent! Will have to pick one up next time in Asdas. Pleasently surprised by the portion size too!
    For £3.50 you can't complain, definitely cheaper than paying £13 odd quid for that where I am Ever since my uni days I'm one of *those* airfryer users who won't shut up about it; stacking anything and everything in there!
    Awesome review. I found your channel in my recommended recently and haven't stopped watching. Honest, personable, entertaining and frequent! Can't ask for much more that

  • @weebizzom1495
    @weebizzom1495 Рік тому +6

    That looks lovely and I think £3.50 is a good price for what you are getting. The portion of chips is smaller than you get from a chip shop, but so is the price, and the fish and peas are about the same size (or maybe a teeny, tiny bit smaller) as in my local chippy nowadays, so pretty good all round. And it’s haddock from the Atlantic Ocean, not catfish from a farm on a river in you-know-where, just downstream from where the locals wash their clothes, water the cattle and empty the buckets! I will give this a try.
    I am giggling away here at the “serve with Sauvignon Blanc” and “for a restaurant experience.” Asda? As is Walmart? As in “was Elvis seen in Walmart?” Asda is getting delusions of grandeur, try “serve with enough vino collapso and you may see Elvis!”
    I like your Mum’s kitchen, by the way. I wish mine was as clean - oops, I meant nice.

      ' ... £3.50 is’ot too bad ...' That is reasonable compared with Sainsbury's version which was £3.60 well over a year ago - my oven is tempermental so I've pretty much stopped using it and don't know the current price.

    You can pick up a nice big bag of oven chips for £1.45 and 2 big frozen fish fillets for about the same. Ready meals are nice but expensive. A big bag of mixed veg for just over a pound. A few meals in all that for the price of a ready meal. Asda are however very good. Haven't yet looked at air fryers but must admit they may be worth it.

    Looks good for the price. There was a piece on BBC Radio 4 earlier which interviewed two people from the food industry. Some prices are definitely falling. There has been a reduction in fodder prices and also for fertiliser. Every little helps. The supermarkets and food producers are now working flat out for the Christmas trade, which can be make or break for some retailers.

It’s in a long cardboard box and plastic wrapped inside, you get a sachet of BBQ sauce and it only takes about 25 minutes in the oven, there’s 3 different variants of it to choose from. Only costs between £5-£6 … try it, you’ll love it 👍 great channel by the way, keep it up. Bob.

    Hi Gareth from a windy Spain - it's blowing half a gale here and we keep get a few odd spots of rain. For once, that didn't look too bad but I suspect that the fish was re-formed. The mushy peas were a disaster. Having seen how much fish and chips cost in the UK, it looks as though it was quite good value. Now, if you could just send three packs over here ...

    Can't wait to try them, but I cannot risk going this late in the day as they will have run out of jam doughnuts at my local ASDA, Livingston. I can't understand why a 24-hour open shop cannot have fresh doughnuts on shelves all day. If I drive to the Edinburgh ASDA at 4pm the shelves will be full of them.they are so good,its hard to find good doughnuts in Scottish local bakeries

    Asda has just rebadged a lot of their 'Finest' Range to 'Bistro' but the price has increased too. Great products though and their triple cooked chips are brilliant. If you try those with a Mayflower Chinese curry sauce, they are amazing with that as well. Personally, for this dish I'd prefer buying a tin of Asda mushy peas and use that instead. Good value though as it is these days 🙂

    Fish and chips at 11:25 in the morning. A strange brunch menu. Looked really good though. A trip to Asda is called for tomorrow !

    That's the trouble when you go to a restaurant for fish and chips. They consider it uncouth to make a chip butty. Well, I tell them I am full of couth and I make my chip butty anyway!
    Looks decent and you have to compare it to a restaurant meal for price or at the very least going to a chippy (chip hole for Barnsley folks). Nice one and I like your mam's cooker.

    So that’s the child’s portion size and to be honest my first thought on seeing the piece of fish was that someone in the supply chain has been removing the haddock from the supply and replacing it with Dover Sole or some other flat fish. There certainly wasn’t any depth to the flesh of that fish.
    The portion size of the somewhat watery looking peas didn’t do much to help account for the value of the meal and finally I would have preferred to have proper thick cut chips in place of those steak cut chips. All in all the only saving grace for this dish is the modest price, but I’m afraid that my wallet is staying in my pocket for the time being.

    • @pheart2381

      I think its very good value,because although its not a thick fillet it is a single piece rather than bits pressed together.
