    In County Durham, there's a place called Esh Winning and has a coal fired shop called Fields. It's been open and ran by the same family for 105 years. I eat from there weekly and it's literally the best place. Food is cooked in beef dripping and the fish is freshly caught from the North Sea.

    Takes me back seventy years. Coal fired ranges were quite common and frying in beef dripping the norm outside London and a lot of the South. Cod was popular but haddock was favourite in the North. In an old industrial northern town you'd often have a fish and chip shop on every few street corners, just the converted front room of a terrace house! Some old fish fryers used to say things went down hill when battered sausages, chicken etc appeared on the menu unless you had three pans as it crossed the golden rule, use separate pans for fish, separate for chips. No mixing or cooking anything else in the pans!

Nowadays there's often a pizza/kebab/fried chicken/Indian/Chinese takeaway on those street corners.....and many obese people!

    I'm drooling here.... I haven't had fish and chips like this since I was a kid, and I'm 50 years of age. I'm from Dublin, Ireland, and I remember I was about 10 years old, 1983 it was, and my dad brought me into the most famous fish and chip shop in Dublin. Leo Burdocks in Christchurch, every Dubliner knows about it. Dad told me it was the best fish and chips in Dublin and asked the man to tell my why that was. He looked down at me from behind the counter and told me "Coal fired fryers and everything is cooked in beef dripping. Nobody else in Dublin cooks their fish and chips that way." Well at the time it didn't mean much to me, and when I think back I thought I was imagining the Coal fired bit. Well this confirms it. That looks bloody delicious!

    Our local chippie had a coal fired range in the 1950's and used dripping, no fancy oil in those days. The trouble with using coal the dripping never got hot enough and the food was very greasy but it wasn't half tasty, really satisfied your hunger. If you fancied a change by ordering a pie the question was asked"Do youwant it hot?" The pie was chucked in with the cooking chips for a few minutes until greasy enough. Happy Days.

  • @lukeproctor5873
    @lukeproctor5873 Před 8 měsíci +1

    I'm a thirty-years-deep fish and chip fryer in the southwest, and here's my review:
    The prices are bang on. In the last few years, the costs to us have gone through the roof; the public aren't happy the fish and chips are now so expensive, and yet the profit margins are far lower than ever before. In my chippy, in the last two or three years, our costs for wages, fish, energy, oil, batter, potatoes etc have more than tripled, and yet we have only been able to elevate our prices by around ten percent.
    The "Jumbo" Haddock in this video is truly massive, and I can only commend this fish and chip shop for being able to serve something so big for such a competitively reasonable price, although, if you come to the south, please be aware that we simply aren't able to source fish this big for anywhere near as cheap a price. Oop North, the wholesale fish prices are much more reasonable, as are the overhead costs such as business rates, wages etc, so be prepared to pay more down this way!
    My chippy has been running since at least the 1920's, and indeed we've got documents to prove as such dating back to the thirties, but in the thirty years I've been here I've spoken to elderly customers who remember it from earlier, and as such we have a long-standing loyal customer base.
    The ten or so people in the "busy summer" queue in this video is comparitively tiny compared even to our quietest winter evening. At the time of year in this video, we, and every other decent chip shop in the southwest, and presumably the country, will be queued out of the door and up the street for hours, with perhaps fifty to eighty people at a time, and we are turning over vastly more customers per hour, due to the fact that we aren't having to wait for a beautiful and historic, but ultimately hugely underperforming coal-powered range.
    When I first started in my shop in the early to mid nineties, it was only twenty or so years after we had last had a coal fired range, but that was for a really good reason, namely that coal is really difficult to manage under busy conditions.
    I love the historic value of the coal fired range in this video, and i will surely try to visit this chip shop the next time I'm up that way, but honestly, we would have served that entire queue with freshly cooked food in fewer than ten minutes, and continued at that same pace for hours afterwards.
    Finally, beef dripping has been largely replaced by vegetable oils in all but a minority of fish and chip shops due firstly to the fact that it is horribly unhealthy, and secondly to the fact that it masks the wonderful taste of the food in which it has been cooked, with the arguably nasty, bitter taste of animal fat.
    The town in which our business resides has two chip shops. One cooks in beef dripping, and the other is my shop, cooking in all (fresh daily) vegetable (NEODA certified palm) oil. One of the big reasons that our shop fares so well in comparison to our competitor, is that on an almost daily basis we get customers telling us how they have tried the oppositions food, cooked proudly in animal fat, and that it tastes horrible compared to ours. Yes, beef dripping does give a certain strong flavour to the food, but that flavour entirely masks the naturally delicious flavour of the high quality food which gets cooked in it.
    A lovely fresh fillet of Haddock doesn't need to be overpowered with the slightly rancid and bitter taste of dripping, it should be enjoyed with an oil that does nothing to mask the sweet taste of the fish, with the overtones of the sea in which it was caught.
    With my many years of experience, and my years of sampling the best and worst fish and chips from Land's End to John 'O' Groats, I would say that the batter on the fish in this video isn't the worst, but certainly isn't the best that I've seen. The dark colouration comes from the frying medium, which in my opinion isn't the best, and although I actually don't mind a soggy batter (nor soggy chips), I know that the majority of people prefer both to be crisp and crunchy, and in my shop we certainly try to find the perfect happy medium, which means that the fish stays as moist and fresh as possible, with the batter and chips being crisp when freshly cooked, but giving the customer the option of having them open in boxes to preserve that crispness for a long as possible, or having them wrapped in paper so that they stay hot for longer, with the tradeoff of being more soggy once opened.
    I love the review, the bringing of your own table and chair, and the positive and humorous way in which you present the fish and chip industry, and I will certainly be watching more of your content.
    Cheers!
