    That whole meal looked like it had been cooked from frozen to me. 6/10 and I'm being generous there.

    Torremolinos is proper old school tourism - its years since I was there but its nice to see all the original old buildings, streets and alleys haven't been bulldozed to make way for modern high rises

      Yes, it reminded me of the battered cod I used to buy from my local Co-op when I lived in the UK. Cook from frozen in the oven which would also explain why it was "wet".

  • @grahamcarswell6652

    To generous with your score Lee no way was that 7 out of 10 the reason the fish was wet is because the oil in the fryer wasn't at the correct temperature to fry the fish so retained the water inside the batter plus the batter was too thick it looked more like a wrapper for a parcel that just coating the fish lol at best a 2 out of 10 from me curry sauce looked horrible enjoy the rest of your holiday happy eating .

      He, McMaster, thinks he is funny when he takes a dig at subscribers and viewers who point out that he needs to eat the food of the country he is visiting. His sarcasm ( calling these viewers 'Phil and Janice') will only serve to make some viewers not subscribe and subscribers unsubscribe. One can only take so much of his ignorant, inflexible attitude to doing what enlightened, open - minded You Tubers do on their channels as they travel to foreign countries. For example, You Tubers like Mark Wiens, Davidsbeenhere, etc.

    Hi Lee, I think 7 is ok based on looks. Those chips looked like frozen or fresh ones that you buy pre-prepared in a large bag, so not the proper chipped freshly peeled/chipped potatoes. I suspect the fish was cooked from frozen hence being so wet. Fresh fish fillets only take around 7-10 mins to fry as the fish "steams" inside the batter, so the fish flesh itself is not greasy or wet. if wet, then cooked from frozen.

  • @elizabethgraham1819
    @elizabethgraham1819 Před 10 měsíci

    Hi lee when we seen the fish we all said it looks like findus or captin birds eyes we noticed the fish was not sticken to the batter thats how we thought it was frozen.

    It's quite hard to compare fish and chips abroad to the UK mate. The curry sauce looked good to me as I like thickness. Agree with you on the chips. Fish looked nice even though I thought the batter looked a bit hard. Mushy peas I can give or take. Price was a bit high for what you got so I think your score of 7/10 was fair given that its abroad. I'll go 6.8/10 buddy. Thanks for the video mate. Great and honest as always👍
