How to Make Restaurant-Quality Fish and Chips

[@maya1787]

I used to work at one of the famous fish & chips in Scotland & his Fish batter secret is 100 gram rice flour & 100 gram plain flour mixture with 70 ml Cold Vodka & 110 ml Cold Dark Ale/Beer in to Fish batter mixture with 1 spoon honey & little salt and add Yeast half a tea spoon... keep it in to fridge for 30 mins. Take out from fridge. take cod/haddock dry it & dip in to dry plain flour then dip in to fish batter mix & fry it on 360 degree F. . Enjoy & give it a try at home & enjoy with your family & friends & please don't forget to give me bless...Please...Remember me in your prayer...Thank You & love you all..

Does the vodka serve as a distinct taste? And if is just alcohol, will any type do......scotch, gin , rum, etc....? Thanks

As a fairly good amateur cook, I REALLY appreciate this show. I can follow a recipe easily enough, but the way they cover not just the WHAT of each step of a recipe, but the WHY, as well, means I've got a baseline to play around with and customize. And that's what makes this fun.

[@jamesaroeuett1567]

[@lindsaybarlow7946]

[@peterfeniello591]

It’s true, it’s a challenge to make fish n chips at home and serve it all hot. We have a method…husband and wife. My wife preps the potatoes, and fries them twice. Meanwhile, I make the batter and prep the fish. As soon as she’s done, I fry the fish. As soon as I’m done with fish (which holds the heat very nicely), she gives the chips one more fry (a minute or two) for a final crisping. Everything comes to the table hot, but more importantly, the couple that makes fish n chips together…stays together

[@mrpmrp226]

Oh yes, double frying is the secret to great fries. I learned that as a teenager from Jacques Pepin. I have also found that quality fries can be held in a 200 F. oven for 20-25 mins. Just make sure you don't brown them too much before putting into the oven. I use a casserole dish and line it with paper toweling before adding the fried to the oven, and it helps keep the fries from becoming greasy.

[@lolorick5885]

As a Brit I have to say that Beef Dripping is the finest for cooking good chips

[@mrpmrp226]

So True. However, I do sometimes add a bit of pork fat to cooking oil for flavor when frying chicken.

[@twosocks1976]

have been a loyal subscriber to America's Test kitchens fo4 years, and I can name the number of occasions I have been disappointed with one of their recipes, on one hand. I own several dozen of their cookbooks, and I love being a subscriber to the website. So I don't want anyone accusing me of being a troll or a naysayer here. The one thing I did learn from this video, that I'm going to try when I make fish and chips again, is to see how I like the Yukon Gold potato fries. But I'm dubious of the long cook, starting from cold oil, on those fries. The system I use is to prep first the fish, then cut the potatoes and start heating up my oil, then make the batter. I then par cook the french fries in 320° oil for about 3 minutes, let them drain, kick that oil temp up to 375, then I fry the fish. I can hold the fish very nicely at 250° in the oven, on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, while I finish the French fries, usually in two batches. Yes it is work, but I just made this yesterday for dinner, and it is well worth it. Tartar sauce is great, but we like to dunk hours in malt vinegar.

[@lexwaldez]

Best fried fish ever. Explaining why you folks do things helps me remember the recipes.

[@annwilliams7000]

My son and I did this last night and the fish was outstanding. I think the chips might have been slightly overdone but I was plating up the fish and boiling some peas while he was finishing the chips and I wasn’t paying attention to the time. Still a fantastic meal and highly recommend this method - it does help to have another pair of hands!

[@VinegarAndSaltedFries]

So Tried this method for chips, and while they weren’t as greasy as I expected they were to grease for me. I even tried them in rice bran oil after my first attempt with peanut oil yielded to greasy. I think sticking with boiling the potatoes then double frying them first at a low temperature then at a high temperature gives much better chips. And you can even cut them a bit thicker too as you would classically have them at a pomme frites / fish and chips shop. Although I prefer about 3/8th and less.

[@lizzy4827]

Definitely, mine came out pretty greasy too.

[@brobsty1856]

[@GenevieveEKelly]

Personally I prefer these thinner “chips.” Cannot stand the thick ones.

[@PeterEmery]

The fish wouldn''t have given off as much of its flavour into the oil if you had included a vital step in the battering process: before putting it in the batter, dust it thoroughly with all-purpose flour or cornflour. A good way is to put the flour into a plastic bag, add the fish and shake the bag until the fish is evenly coated. Now you can add it to the batter. The oil will be OK for doing the chips.

[@5610winston]

I used this batter to fry some shrimp. I also experimented with dipping fish-market crab cakes in flour, then the batter and fried it. Worked well, and I accompanied the shellfish with a hasselbacked Yukon gold potato. Pretty good.

[@rtsharlotte]

Try using a fryer to cook them in or can't you get them in the states? Also if you blanch the chips for ten minutes the chips will be crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle after you've fried them and NEVER start cooking them in cold oil they become soggy and greasy

[@collierladdie]

Blanching the chips are the only legitimate way to keep them crispy on the outside, tender in the middle without having them sit for all that time in oil...the chips these women prepared looked disgusting

[@rtsharlotte]

@@collierladdie Agreed they look gross. Also saying "its not a last minute thing" and not thinking "tonight I'm going to make some fish and chips" sounds strange to me because its so easy, fast and convenient to make and when I do have fish and chips its nearly always a last minute thing. If there's no room in the fryer put the oven/grill on very lower so it only keeps the fish warm while the chips are cooking. Not reusing oil is a waste and I'd be shot if I didn't when I was a kid. I only change the oil once a month.

[@collierladdie]

I'm sure everyone has there own opinion on blanching technique...I was taught the less time in oil will result in a healthier and high quality chip...the blanching time, for my frying is no more than 3-4 minutes at 325 degrees (f) When I'm ready to finish them I'll fry for 2-3 minutes at 375 degrees (f).

[@rtsharlotte]

[@davidswezene1102]

Just a thought for those who don't like the smell of fried fish in the house. Do you have a barbecue grill? Does it have a side burner to heat sauces and such on? If yes, there you go. Grab your pot of oil, go outside and cook this stuff on the patio grill or Weber. No smell, no fuss and you're done with the mess in short order. What would some people do if there was no such thing as an oven or a modern kitchen? Say, you lived in the forest in a tent , cave or bivouac? Could you survive? Yes I did such for 4 years. Just need to think outside the house/box is all. 😚

[@grannysweet]

The east and west coasts are familiar with malt vinegar. I grew up using it and rarely use it now as i dont eat fried food. But a fatty meal was always served with malt vinegar growing up and i still like it with meat and casseroles . Back than only 3 choices, white vinegar (cleaning fluid), apple cider ( food worthy) and small bottles of malt vinegar. In America so many vinegar choices since the early 70's that its gone out of favor. I make my own flavored vinegar so i use dill, garlic on my fish as a personal favorite but put malt on the table too cause not everyone likes dill garlic.

The chips they cooked were greasy and limp plus it was a lot of effort. Do a search for twice or thrice cooked chips, we cook far superior chips in Australia compared with those in this video, they are thick, crunchy on the outside and fluffy and soft in the middle. It’s also an easy method in a home deep fryer which controls the temperature.

[@bennybodash855]

Buy two deep fryers and Rice Bran oil. It doesn’t go rancid nor needs refrigeration. It’s so light you won’t believe it.

[@BlueHen123]

I researched home deep fryers extensively and came the conclusion none are made well.

[@chrissewell1608]

But does the rice bran oil have a high smoke point? And / or retain a fishy flavor after being used?

[@roboslug7582]

Yes, rice bran oil has a really high smoke point--close to 500 degrees if its highly purified. And the same chemical structure that makes it resist oxidation/rancidity also makes it not absorb food flavors very much. Any flavors that do disperse in the oil can usually be removed by frying a couple handfuls of panko crumbs at around 250 degrees at the end of the day right before you filter the oil. Also, I usually add in a bit of solid fat--lard, suet or shortening--just to make it fry and filter better. In other news, I completely second Benny's suggestion of getting multiple fryers, as well as BlueHen's conclusion that consumer fryers aren't generally made that well. If you really dig fried food, plumb your kitchen for gas, and run a line to your countertop. Get one or more commercial countertop gas fryers and have a ball frying anything and everything you can imagine. Make sure to check local building code first, though. I have no clue as to the actual legality of installing commercial appliances and auxiliary gas lines in a home. Could be insurance issues, too. I've done it in my own home, though, so functionally it works fine. Pro tip--if you really want to turn out next-level food, try some anhydrous butterfat. I use Odell's. You can get it at concession supply stores, sold as popcorn topping. It's just pure butter, clarified and with all the water cooked off. Really intense butter flavor, high smoke point, still feels pretty dry, even when it soaks in a bit. Downside is it costs about $120 for a 35-lb jug, compared to around $20 for soybean oil or liquid shortening or $30 for canola or peanut oil. A bit pricey, but if you're trying to impress someone and are frying something that tastes great with butter, that will turn it up to 11.

[@MaZEEZaM]

Fats McBustagut You can get residential in bench deep fryers but they cost a fortune, several big brands such as Smeg offer them.

[@alankauth]

​@BlueHen123 They are definitely made well enough for home use. It is sooooo much easier to just set the temp and not have to worry about anything but cooking. They are a little bit of a hassle to clean (at first), but after a while you figure it out. A great thing to use in an electric griddle/pan when you only need a couple inches of 350F oil. Especially for chicken or fish. It is so much easier to set the temp and let the pan do the rest!

You can do the second fry on the chips after frying the fish, you just don't want to then save the oil to do something else with at a later date. Anything you fry later on will taste like fish.

[@mpugliano]

Why give up there quadruple fry the fries so you soak up that last drop of oil. Those fries would get plump and juicy like a big bloody tick full of healthy juicy artery clogging oil.

@@stevelogan5475 Brilliant! I do that with pancakes, so why couldn't Cooks Country Gals have figured that out? Everything for them has to be so new to make the recipe relevant, BUT the old tried and true works best, that is, you can still keep foods warm in n oven. Did they loose all senxe of common sense?

[@mr.tomraypaz6085]

Looks like a great recipe!

[@Sharpe2007Dent]

Why cut the fish so small?? In the UK we'd have a whole fillet each

[@Sharpe2007Dent]

@Homer Jay you've never had UK F&S then mate!

[@Sharpe2007Dent]

@Homer Jay then you know most chippies will give you a massive fish with plenty of crispy batter!

[@Sharpe2007Dent]

@Homer Jay and im saying that its not needed as a chippy will add a shitton of batter without skimping on fish thus best of both worlds pal

[@bradburford2155]

Never knew how good F&C could be until I stopped at Bailey's in Fulham on my first night in London!

[@Sharpe2007Dent]

@@bradburford2155 Glad you had a banging time mate.

NICE .. Thanks for sharing !!

[@walterfleming8671]

Well done,if I had anything to add to this I would say try cutting the chips I little bit thicker, also if possible try to use a dark ale or beer for the batter.and of course peas on the side.(From an englishman) 👍

[@kkly27]

Yes! This is more fish n fries than fish n chips. I suppose it’s all down to personal preference but I need chunky chips if I’m having battered fish. (From a Northumbrian woman). 😊

[@pinewoods2247]

You've got to have peas with it. Not mushy peas btw. Mouthful of fish, chips and peas..omg so good🤤

[@Calgary27]

I am so loving the new format/new show - thank you for including many of the other test kitchen cooks. This segment was delightful. Happy Holidays! ❤️🇨🇦❤️

[@danbev8542]

Looks wonderful! Thanks!

[@texasmimi1954]

Oh my goodness, I can hardly wait to try this way to make fish & chips at home! Thanks!!

[@tickedoffsheikh8587]

Greetings to you from Guyana South America. I've just found your video but I have some questions: if you can't have access to cod, halibut or haddock what other good substitutes can work? Secondly, what if you don't have peanut oil? Thanks in advance. Keep it up. 👍👍🇬🇾

[@santuccipontarelli3763]

Those fries are cute and the crispy fish

[@PoeLemic]

Thank you for showing us how to make this. I'm disabled and I can't always afford to eat out. Long John Silvers just charges too much now. Do they think everyone can pay $45 bucks when 2 people eating feeding 2 kids and their aging mother? That's just too much money everynight, but my family loves LJS. So, I have to give them this meal sometimes.

[@2Ryled]

I don't even have a long John silvers. No fish:(

[@charmichealsueflipflop21]

in the UK fish in chips would be 12 to 14 dollars

[@Gerrygambone]

As a Brit I prefer a thicker chip, cooking the chips twice it really makes a difference also the fish needs to be twice the size, saying that you just have two pieces and that was a good batter you made.

[@misscndnwoman2177]

Fantastic video I love the way the lighting changed during Bridget first talk as Ashley cooked. That was great. And if course the recipe. Bridget made these French fries a lot of a few years ago. I made them right away and they were wonderful. Now the fish I can't wait to make in this kitchen. Merry Christmas to Bridget Julia and Ashley and to ALL. Happy New Year to you and your families.🙋🙏🙏🌹🌹❤❤

[@f.demascio1857]

I'm hungry now. Looks great.

[@janeberger7571]

I’m SO excited to try the fish recipe! I wanted to find a way to incorporate more fish into my diet and this definitely helps. Plus, I absolutely adore Bridget and Julia and the rest of the cast on ATK. Bon Appetit!

[@leacruz7311]

You need beer with that!

[@mr.bonesbbq3288]

Very nice job on one my favourites! Thanks! Reckon I'll be tryin makin me up some these, afore long, Sisters! Yall keep safe an well, thereabouts!

In England we call this a comedy show. 😀

[@katydidiy]

Where's the malt vinegar?

[@raconteur5195]

After the oil has cooled, pour it back into the empty container that it came from and either discard it in your regular or recyclables trash, or burn it in a lamp or bonfire.
