Whats crazy about professional cooking to me is the logistics of having everything already prepared to do this as an order is made. Not only are you making this dish within a few minutes but managing 10 other things at the same time.
Hours and hours of prep or even days in some cases depending what you're preparing.
Thx but knowledge and sharing It is useful otherwise there l’y less interest into learning, my pov
Cooking in particular BIR Indian but also some traditional has taught me tons in this area as it is all about layering up the flavours and ingredients. When a recipe calls for tomato purée, you are not just adding a tin. You are adding tomato purée that you have cooked with peppers, chillies, garlic, coriander etc etc. Layers upon layers.
Yeah and all that for $12 an hour!
It is great watching an expert...it would be my nightmare of a job..🙈..I have a chef friend..he says it is a science with what goes with what for perfection 🎉
My dream is to start working for Fallow Restaurant, after I've been working for 11 years at my father's kebab shop here in Kosovo.
I think you can do it bro. I knew a crazy Jamaican pot washer who got a chance at The Frog by Adam Handling. Get a visa, scrub the pots at Fallow and if youve got the character they'll teach you the rest.
💀💀
Where's the Kebab shop? I'll come and visit!
@@ibrahimhossain2776😂 but you're giving up your dream after eleven years, NO dad I'm giving up YOUR dream.
You probably have more skills and sense of flavour than 99% of people that graduate the most prestigious culinary schools.
This is an incredible attention to detail, there will be few customers realise what went into making their food. Also generous of you to share your tricks, you will be remembered (and thanked) and the crabby secretive types soon forgotten.
Not really, he broke the chips a lot lol
Just doing the blumenthal method for all of it. Did he actually credit he’s copying Heston?
Huge respect for uploading these videos for free - high quality, well delivered, culinary knowledge
They’re getting a fair few quid from CZcams 😂
@@jamesmacdonald5881 Plus it being an ad for their seasoning 😁
@@jamesmacdonald5881 Maybe true but not for all CZcamsrs get paid unless you have 1,000 sub 4,000 watch hours and get accepted into the YTUBE monetization program!
Love the idea of curing the fish first to season and firm it up. Definitely gotta try this sometime.
This looks fantastic! What strikes me about all your videos is the thoughtfulness behind everything. Its obvious that you all care SO much about what you're doing.
Love this channel I've been binge watching it for a few days now just making myself hungry at the office. Can't go wrong with good Fish and Chips
Made the fish today, the cure is a real gamechanger. The citrus flavors on the fish are amazing 😍
The art of your culinary cooking style with many attention to detail of fish and chips is also showcased in the beautiful presentation, Chef! Enjoy!
Looks, and I'm sure tastes amazing. The attention to detail is 1st class! Thanks for sharing!
Scraping the batter off the skin side before dropping in the oil is a class touch..great recipe
Wow! I'm Drooling, I ran a 'New York Fries' shop we used only Russet Burbank spuds in a three stage cooking method. We washed and cut the spuds into big pails ice on the bottom filling with cold water as we cut, iced the top, three to four pails cut first thing in the morning. Light up the fryer, three kettles filled with premium oil, first kettle set at 325 f, second kettle at 360 f third kettle at 375 f, leaving at least 20 minutes between stages. spuds stacked in their fry baskets over their respective kettles until needed. First stage to give the spuds a light yellowish tint, second stage to give the edges a deeper yellow, third stage to brown the spuds off and crisp them up, shake them out into the dump station, salt them and scoop them into the cups.
So good!
P.S. Always and often shake the spuds in the fry baskets in every stage to keep them from sticking together.
Looks unreal, Chef. So much attention to detail IE the drizzle of extra batter over the fish as it fries and a thinner layer of batter over the skin side so the skin has a chance to crisp up a bit 🔥🔥🔥
Seen many times this variation of Heston Blumethals perfect chip methodology. This is more streamlined, basically very batch oriented . Good stuff.
Heston despite his fame is very under appreciated for his nerd levels of gastronomic expertise.
Absolutely loves the tutorials and amazing recipes to take food to the next level. Great demonstrations keep it up love this team. I have to run a cafe on my own so it’s what I miss is the team work that use guys show
Its great watching a true expert so passionate about his job...I am 66 and have perfected " grannies home made chips " ..i get and 11/10 ..altho im old dchool and use beef dripping..yummy🎉 that plate looked absolutely amazing...Ty for sharing 🎉
Love seeing all the little chefy stuff you do outside of the main recipe (like the towel roll to keep the bowl in place for stirring). Reminds me of when I staged for one of Danny Meyers guys. So cool
Perfection is a lot of little things done well. Great video. So many great tips
I love seeing all the cuttings and leftovers get set aside for other stuff!
Every restaurant does that.
I also add some vinigar essence to the water when I boil the potatoes. Already adds some acidity flavour but mostly helps with the hydrolysis which gives more crunch later.
I've always known the crispy batter (& chip) bits to be called scrumps and I haven't had them for years. I remember some chip shops use to sell a portion of scrumps for 50p back in the 90s in South Wales.
In Shrewsbury we call them (used too) Scratchings...........Bloody lovely!🙃🙃
Scratchings in Leicester
Scratchings from salford
Called scraps down here
@@CDLANEY1520 basically anything crispy and fried in grease is a lovely thing😋
This is too the tee how we did our chips in my old restaurant I use to work at … amazing chef 🧑🏽🍳
prime lads giving away tricks of the trade to prove they know how to do it right and make it the best
I enjoy your instructional uploads. I always pick up a tip or two but I'm no chef.
Nice looking but a couple of changes I would make (22 years in the fish and chip industry and owned my own restaurant doing just that)
Do not use pollock! And always remove the skin as it adds nothing. With the batter, rest it chilled for 2 hours and you’ll get a lighter, crisper batter and won’t need the turmeric. But for a more ‘fine dining’ style dish and chips, this is right up there! Too many places make overly thick batter and you don’t get those crispy peaks
Thanks for the tips!
@@FallowLondon any time. Just a little guidance from a multiple award winner 😉
How generous of you share your recipe and all your experience this is priceless( I will add that frying the fish one after the other allows keeping the oil temperature steady. Same goes when your you have mincedbeef or. Chicken, instead of putting a big mass that will plunge your temperature, styr fry and remove as your fry j’y our meat and place it on the side, start over( you gain time, organisation an heat, efficiency!
Thx
Thx
This looks good, have you ever thought of becoming a chef?
i wanted to become a chef....but life got in the way ....i'm 60 now and no one wants a 60 year old chef
@@txxmiles2974 What stopped you in the beginning, I'm thinking of entering the profession but the pay and lack of work/life balance is making it less and less viable.
@@sassysasquatch4096 it's a young mans/womens game now days
@@txxmiles2974As a young chef, I can tell you we want the 60 year old chef
If you value you your social life, catering is not the career.
Remember this restaurant is London, the whole structure is entirely different to any other city in the UK.
That’s so much more involved than how I’ve done it and I’m here for it. Would love to try this one day from Fallow
Authentic British fish and ships. Really impressive!
Best Recipe i have found so far, and it looks fantastic.
Sweet jesus!! What a chef 👨🍳 brilliant mate 👌 👏 food looks incredible 👌 🎉
Paying attention to detail. I hope I can find one on my bucket list.
My god man what a lot of labor for what looks like a simple dish. I'll never be able to do that wo trying to cut corners. You're a better man Gunga Din. Looks fab. Congrats
Absolutely top drawer. Cannot wait to get down and try fallow soon!
Awesome recipe and really well explained :)
Man, this looked so mouth-watering good I ran out and just got back from our local pub-style bar and grill that makes authentic fish and chips that always look just like what I'm seeing in this vid. So I'm crunchin' and munchin' because of this vid. One final word of compliment.... Wow! Wow Wow Wow!!!
so happy you saved the krispy bits! and serve them :)
That looks so good!
This has probably been asked before but what camera do you use for the pov? Thanks.
Love the vid btw! Good chip tips to add to my arsenal.
*This feels like the perfect way to make cooking video! Chef nailed the pacing! Subbed!*
amazing!!! Thank you for all the tips :)
In belgium we use bintje or a pureepotato for fries. Peeled , sliced, washed, dried. Than blanched in 140°c hot oil, cooled and fried in 180°c hot vegetableoil or oxfat
Looks amazing, well done - it does look like it's going to fall off that little board when you serve it or try to eat it lol - love the lil crispy bits
That's what I thought. Must be a nervous delivery for waiter 😂
/r/wewantplates
I like the way you have filmed this…makes it more inclusive! Like u can imagine yourself doing this….nice vid pal
Glad you enjoyed it
Unreal videos. Perfect for the weekend-warrior home cooks like myself. Not so fussed about the recipes per se but understanding the little techniques here and there (sprinkling batter on the cod for texture, turmeric in the batter etc) is the best cooking vids can get. Too many channels out there just tell you a recipe in video format; this one tells you why. Plus, it's a great insight into how to cook like a pro chef without dealing with that prick Gordon Ramsey or some loud American guy in his home kitchen
looks amazing on camera and impossible to take a single bite without half of it falling off the board it's served on
Yeah, I find plates work pretty well for this kind of thing.
@@nickmiller76 A larger board would solve that. The problem with boards is that they can't be washed properly. Plates ftw.
Made it like this. JUST WOW!!!
I live in Canada but will be coming home to the UK (Luton airport represent) and cant wait to check this restaurant out. Cheers all!
this Channel help me alot in my Course Hospitality management ... for now on I'm gonna watch their video
I absolutely WILL eat here one day, such a cool place
Beautiful! What camera do you use for your pov shots?
Absolutely gorgeous 🤩 mußy paes and it's a banger... Loads of scraps as well...
looks stunning but what did you put in the batter after the turmeric.
looks absolutely bangin, wanted to get a deep fryer at home for so long and you're on the verge of finally convincing me
It's a waste and makes for a mess. Just use a pot.
They're good but a real faff to clean. The oil goes all sticky and needs some effort to get it off.
Having said that, on the upside you will be able to make chips EXACTLY how you like them!
@@ferociousfrankielmaoo
Nice to see a Chippy using Loins of perhaps Cod or Haddock, many fish and chip shops in the UK use Block which is the Tails of the fish. Going into an expensive restaurant I expect Loin, not the tail. Thanks, it was a good video!
Where can I procure Trisol powder in the UK? Not looking for several kilos, but just a small amount for testing purposes?
You’ve got the whole process down to a tea there perfect 🍻
Can almost taste it! Great video
Oh wow. When you perfect even a simple dish like fish and chips it turns into something quite magical.
Beautifully done too
Beautiful!
looks amazing. i was suprised how long you boil the chips for. Thought they would start to fall apart, but clearly not.
Do you do them like this each portion or do a big portion at a time and just finish off the 3rd fry for order?
Take this with a pinch of salt (and a dash of vinegar!), since I don't work at Fallow.
Generally speaking though, when making chips forms scratch on a larger scale than at home, you'd do the boiling and the first fry in large batches, and then you'd do the second fry portion by portion, to order.
Can I do the first frying for preparation a day ahead, then cooling overnight and then finish them with the second frying just before serving the next day?
absolutely!
What was the last dry ingredient in the batter?
Scraps - i remember being a kid, you would die to get hold of the "Scraps" Fantastic looking meal - top work guys
*One question: Can you cook more fish in that alreay hot oil after the first 3-4 pieces of fish are cooked or do you need fresh oil?...Great tutorial and looks fantastic!.*
towel under the bowl trick is clutch!
thanks, might try
Looks delish👍
beautiful fish fritters!
Question: What was the point of keeping the spuds somewhat uniform if they pretty much broke up when boiled/blanched/fried?
They cook evenly to begin with, also more to do with the width than length
You want them thick and uniform so that there is consistently enough space on the chip to get crumbled.
So there should be enough interior to be fluffy potato in each chip.
Hope that makes sense.
One mistake you might make (i sure did) was cut the chips to my typical desired thinness. There wasn’t enough room internally and they got destroyed into mush and crisp.
He took them too far
Doesn't matter how long they are. Heat spreads into the food from the surfaces, so the time it takes the centre of the food to heat up depends on how far it is from the closest surface. For most of the chip, the ends aren't the closest surface, so it doesn't matter how far away hey are. But if you have fat chips and thin chips, the thin ones will be over-done while the fat ones are still raw in the middle.
I love fish and chips in HK's...Irish restaurant...yummy...nice demo chef...cheers🤗☺
I keep sending these to my wife. Wish me luck.
This reminds me of heston blumenthals technique for perfect chips.
Production on these vids is mint!
Looks divine
Nice, will definitely go soon, but what's wrong with actual plates?
what kind of oil do you use for frying the potatoes at fallow?
Shall we have a whip round and get him some plates?
😂
I've never heard of trisol that went into the batter but ill give it a go
the drizzling of the extra batter on top while its frying in my area is called giving the fish a mohawk XD
What was that last ingredient for the batter? Does anybody know?
Trisol, maintains a crisp batter
Looks delicious ❤
Haven’t had a fish and chips (a l’anglais) in ages. I’m making this.
Thanks!
how important is the trisol? will it completely change the dish?
Looks delicious
Looks awesome but what’s wrong with a plate?
Looks good Fish and Chips. Watching here in colindale London
What did the yellow fish batter consist of?
Mannnn, looks super good! 🤩🤩🤩
What I like to do when I make my chips is to add a splash of vinegar to keep the potatoes from falling apart, It preserves the pectin in them so they can stay firm.
I do that too but it doesn't give you the rough skin like his with vinegar.
Well done ✅👍🏼
Yes Chef!!
can anyone tell me what the last dry ingredient was for the batter?
hi jack, where did you by your knife cases from, thanks
What type of oil is this for the frying?
Can't beat rustic skin ON chips..
Also try Wilja variety of potatoes
Did I miss it or did you not mention what kind of oil you use for frying? Is it peanut oil? Nice to see the edit was thorough enough to show the requisite hand washing after handling the fish.
