4 Levels of Fish & Chips: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious

We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur Bianca, home cook Julie, and professional chef Palak Patel from the Institute of Culinary Education - to fry us up some fish and chips. Once each chef had presented their dish, we asked food scientist Rose to explain their choices. Which fry up gets your tastebuds at attention?

Bit late to the party here - As a British (English) guy, the Asian chef had me on the method, ingredients, but the lady who chose Haddock was the fish of the moment, due to shortage from over fishing. Back to it - fish frying is good, but the chips are the side that we grew up with. My mom made home made chips 5 times a week. Ms Patel did everything good, even more fancy than I am used to. That is a good thing. The round chips (we, in my family call scallops) are good but not for fish & chips. I am not here kvetching about anything or what each chef has made today, I would gladly eat all. When you mention ‘fish & chips’ I get a taste to expect. Imagine if you asked me to make a Chicago deep pan pizza, a Hot Dog, BBQ a steak Texas style, or a burger! We all have our variations on putting together a dish. This is why I love these vlogs. Sending my best wishes to all who read this & watch the channel with as much ‘gusto’ as I do. Take care.

It was like a level 1.9. I was multitasking, did she do anything pre-packaged? Usually seems to be the qualifier. Maybe it was the sauce at the end.

I like how the level three chef took all that extra time and effort to make her fish perfectly cooked and seasoned... and at the end, the other two chefs are eating and gushing about their fish and the level three is eating and going on about her chips. At last, someone legitimate. The chips are more important.
