    There’s more flavour in fish if you leave the skin on in my opinion, I can eat it either way

    Never had a fish and chip shop in Scotland serve fish with skin on, so i wouldn't even think about asking to take the skin off if elsewhere.

      Same here, its not something that`s ever crossed my mind to ask and its haddock that`s always served here in Scotland.maybe its more commonplace in England.

    Story on BBC news today about a 111 year old man from Southport: John Tinniswood, who is 111 years and 223 days old, puts his longevity down to a fish and chips on a Friday ……so there you go…..no range anxiety there!!

    At this point in the game - after reviewing so many fish and chip shops - how are you not just asking for a no skin piece of fish everywhere you visit? The chip shop can't mind read your hatred of skin, because for 50% of us, as ive said before lol, we love it - and its full of good vitamins etc. Man up Lee! 😉

    Skin off definitely and deep fried in a golden batter, absolutely no substitute, it's the best way to eat fish and chips, the skin is dried, sharp and slimy, always skin off then batter until golden brown 🤎

    I haven't been to Skeggy since the mid 80s and I haven't missed it one bit. The fish and chips looked nice enough to me. I wouldn't want skin on my fish either though, I thought with you having haddock you'd have asked about the skin when ordering, and why did you leave the peas, you didn't say?

  • @xboxnangable

    I lived in Scotland for numerous years and trust me, the vast majority of Scottish Fish & Chip shops sold deep-fried pizza and Scotch Pies and Haggis. My pet hate is when food is brought on wood, I tell them to take it back and bring me a plate. The same goes for coffee in old Jam Jars, that goes back too. Why do they serve fish with skin on, seems to me that they think it is upmarket? I hate it too.

  • @christopherpickles7541
    @christopherpickles7541 Před 2 měsíci +1

    Skin is fine by me, it keeps the fish moist. A former partner and I used to have a meal in a certain pub in the Durham countryside. I'd have meat pie and she'd have fish and chips. The fish had skin on which my partner didn't eat. She'd leave a fish shaped piece of battered skin, which I would eat with the remains of the gravy from my pie. Mmmm, luxury!

  • @richardgetlevog3123
    @richardgetlevog3123 Před měsícem +2

    I thought this looked nice to be fair Lee. I personally prefer the skin on the fish and it definitely adds to the flavour. Same as the fat on meats like bacon, steak and gammon etc. More flavoursome. Looked a decent size too but I do like a nice kick to my curry sauce.
    I'm going to go 8.5/10 on this one. Cheers for the video mate as always👍

    We’re from Sheffield always loved fish and chips it was always skin on haddock but not cod. Haddock was always the cheaper fish and cod was the premium
    That’s why you always got big haddock’s in Greek and Cypriot chips shops in the 90s and 2000s

    The colour of both the fish and chips were really good, really golden. That suggests that they use good quality potatoes and clean oil. Like you, I don't like skin on. I don't do curry ar mushy peas.

    I think the fish and chips looked great. By preference I would like no skin, but I wouldn't make such a song and dance about it. I eat fresh smoked haddock for breakfast two or sometimes three times a week and it always has the skin on. I just cut the fish part away and leave the skin. I buy it from Aldi, Lidl or Morrisons.

  • @dingleydell3250
    @dingleydell3250 Před 2 měsíci +3

    Skin on or off i’m not fussed bought up in the 50’s / 60’s and you had to eat whatever was put in front of you or go hungry but if you don’t like skin on fish then ask the shop to take it off - simple as asking for your eggs so that there is white over the yolk!!

    • @sueedgar8825
      @sueedgar8825 Před 2 měsíci

      I too was bought up in the jolly old 50's and 60's, there was only one item ever on the menu, if you didn't like you had to wait for the next meal. Oh joy!

    Heston Blumenthal's pub, The Hind's Head in Bray, has renowned Fish and Chips for 29 quid, pricey, but every vlogger that's tried it says it's the best. One of the more parsimonious of them answered the question, would you pay it again? He said not only would he pay it again, he'd fly there from anywhere in the world for the privilege. (They probably serve breakfast too.) You probably might want to try it before you finally make up your mind.

    • @catherineturner2839
      @catherineturner2839 Před 2 měsíci

      And Heston leaves the skin on. It really isn't a problem. I reckon if Lee was blindfolded and given battered fish with skin on he wouldn't even know, other than the fish has less chance of drying out. The skin has it's purposes. Now unscaled is a different thing all together. That IS a no no

    If you don't like skin on your fish and don't ask, when it's often a possibility - then shame on you,.

  • @jaffabfc
    @jaffabfc Před 2 měsíci +2

    The skin on usually means it's proper fish and not a fish fillet that's been cut down, that's why usually at the coast you get it with skin... But if you don't like it then you should ask so I think it's unfair to take a point off... Been to more or less every chippy in skeggy and chips pan alley hardly as any nowadays, go back 15 years more or less every shop was one. But Seaview at north side of skeggy is the best by far round there.... Can't believe you didn't comment on the miserable Tesla driver behind you lol, bet he had to pay for parking while charging😂

    Nice to see SS cutlery and China plates. Good presentation and the fish and the chips looked tasty. Now, you should have started with the curry, this way the fish and chips taste would be destroyed. Don't get the desire for curry as it really does not enhance the flavor of the food. Skin on fish actually enhances the fish flavor. Based on price and presentation; 9/10.

We like Sea View chippy, on Sea View road, really nice. Plus you can still get a traditional Cornish pasty & chips, as not many chippy's do pasty now.

    Skin on is fine for many reasons, proof of that specific fish .if skin was bitter it would be a old fillet .ok
    Omga is good for you .
    Skin on did not affect the taste ,
    Experience inside dinning was nice .food portions cooked properly no mistake .

    @shanewaterman4125 Před 2 měsíci +2

    £14.50 for that lot??? Nearer £17 (or more!) around here (middle of Kent) - and you won't get a fillet that size even if you order a large one. Properly presented though, yours. If that's properly fresh Haddock then it's one fish that needs the skin to keep it together in the fryer, even with batter around it. It ought to add to the flavour too - kind of like cooking meat bone in against boned and rolled.
    The texture looked as you'd expect from fresh Haddock. Chips don't look like they've been cooked properly - blanched, first fry, rested, then final fry to crisp the outside but so few do that these days.

    Hi Lee, wow. You eat a lot of fish and chips ! I score it 7.5 out of 10. Had fish and chips in Terrigal, NSW, last week. Twice ! The batter was as light as tempura. But I wish we had haddock in our batter in Australia. Skin on fish ? I would think it would add to the flavor. There's another You Tuber who hates mushrooms. I think it's a childhood thing. One of my brothers hates prawns, lobster, oysters, crab, and it all came about as a little kid when he saw prawns on the kitchen counter, heads and all. Thanks for the video and all the best !
