Chippy Fish & Chips | Traditional, easy recipe :)

[@WhatsForTea]

The fat I used was beef dripping...forgot to mention that in the video! :)

[@paulmercury6571]

Brilliant! Where from? I use half & half (lard and veg oil) for deep frying but would prefer proper beef dripping .

don't use veg oil for deep frying, it becomes toxic @@paulmercury6571

When I worked in a local chippy I used to go in on a morning and salt the fish on both sides. It prevented the fish curling up at the ends while cooking.

[@Nannerchan]

I’m American, but went to England on holiday. The fish and chips were the one thing that I remembered the most. Amazing.

[@shelleygibson3219]

I love that you explain why you cook things a certain way. I have learned a lot from your tips. Thank you

[@micometer]

Thanks for continuing your content. Watching you helps to cope with the stress in the world.

[@florianb81]

Your wonderful scottish accent always cheers me up. Thank you for that. Hope you and your family are safe and healthy as well.

When i was training to be a chef we were always told that batter is better when it is fresh i have found batter that has been left for too long just looses that nice crispy coating due to the beer going flat so i would disagree that leaving it longer is better , also you can use self raising flour instead of mixing plain flour with baking powder thats basically all self raising powder is .... I would also blanch my chips at 130°c first whilst i was getting the rest of the dinner ready then finish them later at 180°c just before they are due to be served

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

Cheryl, your recipe videos are so great! Here I am, past my 60th birthday, and I had never thought to add malt vinegar to fish batter! (I blame it on not being raised in Scotland! 😁)

[@notreyf]

Best looking homemade fish and chips ever. Beats Ramsay's and Pierre White's hands down. If you don't believe me, watch their vids. Already planning this for our Saturday tea. As always, thank you.

[@Poppy-sf1uj]

Your fish and chips looks beautiful! What a beautiful video to take our minds off the sad times we are currently experiencing 👍🏻

[@magsk6721]

Oh that looked Braw Cheryl! Know what I'm having for Saturday nights tea !😍Smashing 👍

[@brewer325]

Hi Cheryl, I made this for the first time tonight for tea and it was the most enjoyable fjsh and chips I've ever tasted. I'm afraid the local chippie is going to lose out big style! Thanks so much for all your recipes. X

[@missmaryhdream6560]

Good evening Cheryl. Lovely to see you 👀, with these fish and chippies. Oh yummy 😋 delicious. This is my idea of heaven. Thank you ❤

[@jaave001100]

Great recipe and looks awesome. Try putting a tablespoon or two of sugar into the water that you soak your chips in. I've found that it gives them a nice crispy outside. And I think it sweats out the starch without adding any sweetness.

[@DrBrunoRecipes]

Looks lovely 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a great day 🌻🌞

[@julienielsen3746]

I recently found out how good corn flour is for coating. Not corn meal, but corn flour. I know now that's what they used on the fish at a favorite restaurant we went to when I was a child.

[@ruthie2222]

Omg! I’m salivating. Best fish and chips I’ve seen and especially being cooked in beef dripping! Yummy 😋

[@annmarief.4822]

Im so glad you say add a good tsp of salt, a pinch is worthless!!

[@melissalambert7615]

That all looks wonderful. Never thought to rest the batter.

[@virginiasullivan1040]

Southern California here. Thank you for this recipe and tutorial. Nothing better than good fish and chips. Definitely giving this one a try.

[@emadigan523]

Made this wonderful batter yesterday, used on Walleye and Halibut. Absolutely the best batter fried fish we have ever had. Thank you so much!

[@ggoldie604]

Great job on the fish and chips. A great inspiration!

[@suereeves5994]

Lovely fish and chips, just in time for Friday! In the black country they batter the chips as well, not quite fattening enough without. 🙂

[@lisamoore6804]

My mom used to make beer battered fish with fish they caught in Florida. It would either be Bass or Perch, it was sooooo good.

[@moodrider]

Thank you for your beginning comments Cheryl. Im home with Covid (in NZ) and was feeling a little sick of it all, You cheered me up and reminded me that we belong to all sorts of communities that are just a comment away, I love this one :-)

[@jeanetteevans356]

Sat here watching this at 9.45 at night and you have got my mouth watering will definitely be giving this a go the batter sounds lovely never tried beer batter x

[@kathyherman7079]

I just learned how to make good fish and chips. Thanks so much

[@rikkich5357]

Cheryl I love your meals inspiring I use my own homebrew beer for the batter Great idea using box

[@deeferry6520]

Love the recipe, I had a fish supper last night for tea, it was delicious, have never thought to make it myself. I might try it, thanks Cheryl xxx

[@SeanNewhouse-mv9ez]

Id never heard of mushy peas or sausage with fish and fries if i did have those itd just be split pea spup and cheddar-jalapeno kielbasa sausage. In america we often enjoy fish and chips with clam chowder i do love plenty of salt and vinegar on the fish and chips i notice you brits have the really good sized fillets i also like how your chip shops sell fish and chips in newspaper cones you have very nice cultures and ways I hear rice flour works well for a crunchy breading also can add dollops of flour mixture as their frying i do love beer batter too

[@mysticmeadowshomestead6209]

Hi there. I love all your recipes. I have served up right many of them. But just to share a few thoughts on potatoes. For chips, red potatoes are waxy and therefore the end result is crispy & crunchy. Brown potatoes are starchy. To get a chip that has a light crunch on the outside and is heavenly soft on the inside using a brown potato. You pointed out the need to rinse some of that starch out, well done, that is the secret. *I agree with the commenter who said your chips beat Ramsay's. In the states King Edward potatoes are called Kennebec.

[@margaretrobinson1670]

Them fish and chips look absolutely delicious Cheryl, everything you cook turns out great, l think you have the magic touch at the cooker.😋👍👩‍🍳

[@michaeljackson9683]

Awesome Cheryl. I am gonna try this when I get back home to Thailand... Keep up the sterling work.

[@systemSkynet]

Late for the big plate but staying for the leftovers. Brilliant mate

[@morebaileyskim]

After almost 20 years in the states I decided I need to learn how to make these myself 😂 I can’t wait to try this recipe - only one I’ve seen that looks close to home

[@morebaileyskim]

CHERYL!!! These are the best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten and I MADE THEM MYSELF AT HOME IN THE STATES this is INSANE. Anyone wanting traditional Scottish fish and chips this is the one to try. I’m going to need a personal trainer 😂

[@melissalee1531]

Oh my gosh that looks delicious!!!!! I will try this ! Thank you !

[@debramage739]

That looked great Cheryl. I have an unused deep fryer, maybe time to take it out. Thanks.

[@kimbradley1292]

That looks amazing Cheryl. I'll definitely give this a go! Thankyou x

[@rebeccarhoten8591]

It looks so delicious I’ve watched this video 4 times already,,,, and I hope you and your family are well in these crazy times ❤️

[@ericjones-jc8gu]

That looks fantastically tasty. When I lived in England, my favorite was eel and chips (only one bone to work with). Did Jasper try to "help" with the fish prep? ;)

[@carolinemunro1557]

Looks delicious love crispy fish 👍

[@linsioux217]

Thank you! I live in Southern California and there aren't any places nearby to get fish and chips. Used to but not so much now.

[@LindaC616]

I am on the East Coast, where it is relatively easy to get. Not as good as in England, although I did find one place that has a huge fillet. But they don't do the Friday night fries like they do in the Midwest

[@TCBfan62]

The fish and chips look so tasty Cheryl. 👍🏻

[@AndrisWorld]

This looks absolutely amazing ❤️

[@leighlitz2481]

[@chellagirl3664]

I never thought to add vinegar to the batter. I am going have to try that. I love malt vinegar... I could drink the stuff. Your fish and chips look delicious!

[@jamesrichardson1326]

Looks great and I bet it's delicious Cheryl. A cold pint to go with would be sublime.

Great, easy to follow video with superb results.

Going to try the vinegar in the batter next time, never heard of that before.

we always put a wee bit a bic carb in the batter also i like to par boil my chips i find the middelo more fluffy

[@kaiju_k5042]

My goodness that looks incredible!! So happy this showed up in my feed :)

Omg that looks so good

[@helenpadden3482]

Mmm, looks delicious 😋 will definitely have a go 😀 Thank you for sharing Cheryl xxx

[@user-cn5wv6mf4g]

Thank you! One of my favorite meal!!!

[@arfcorps]

Definitely a recipe for Scots overseas (like me) because we all know much easier just going to the chippie 🤣

[@LindaC616]

Just saw a recipe for crispy oven sweet potato fries from Spain. It involves soaking the potatoes for 40 minutes in water after chopping them then dry namana towel then baking them for 40 minutes to an hour. It was crazy how long it took. Easier to buy the frozen ones and fiddle around with technique until they get crispy

[@jeanwalker3697]

I am SO hungry now!!

[@denisdavidbolton3981]

You are Good!! Watch your videos often, Excellent

[@landbrot7750]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Thanks for your Video ...I love Fish and Chips...Frank from Germany ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ianmiller1879]

hiya. going to try yr fish recipe as looks lovely but as for the chip you should do triple cooked chips their amazing.or part cooked yr chips, then the fish then finish the chips so the fish doesnt dry out. love yr channel.x

[@parkview113]

super. you take all the fear and trepidation out of thought of "just doing it !". Thanks.

[@bobaree1]

Cheryl, I’ve made your steak pies several times and love them.

[@emmamcdonald3410]

them chips look amazing i have to try them i hope i can find those potatoes over here

[@paulmercury6571]

Good one, Cheryl. Great timing too. (Fish Friday tomorrow) Basically how I do mine. But I wouldn't waste beer on my batter. Lol. Cheap supermarket lemonade is good enough!

[@ianwrobbie]

Not a beer fan so this is exactly what I needed. Thanks for the tip!

[@carolinegreenwell9086]

I am literally just off the internet ordering my very first Uber Eats delivery for, guess what, FISH & CHIPS, when I see your video !!!

[@DougTrovinger]

I honestly can't wait to try out this recipe! :D - Need to get some of the beef drippings too. =)

[@andyspoo2]

Lemonade instead of carbonated water works well....and lemon goes well with fish.

[@kimberlymartyn1232]

Looks delicious

[@ianwrobbie]

I've been looking everywhere for a decent batter recipe and this seems perfect. Strangely you're the first person I've seen putting malt vinegar into the batter mix. Quick question - if you don't have/want beer for the batter can you just use carbonated water? Or maybe something else?

[@impb6606]

great recipe! 👍 but what to use for beer replacement?

[@judithburke1539]

The alcohol is evaporated with the cooking process, if that's a concern. I think she mentioned that plain soda water can be used in place of the beer.

[@BushCrafts]

Thank you for this recipe. Do you have a video on how to make Mushy Peas?

[@jsfaulds]

Looks so good. Have you tried the beer battered cod from waitrose probably not as good as yours:) but it's the best I've had from a supermarket I normally buy 4 boxes and freeze, it seems to go like hot cakes.

[@andyspoo2]

If you like your chips soggy/soft like they serve in fish and chip shops then put them in a paper bag to steam for a while. It's the paper they serve them in that makes them soggy.

[@bobaree1]

Cheryl, would like to see your mushy peas recipe.

[@TheJeanie11]

Looks beautiful will be trying this. Where did you get the takeaway boxes from please

[@MusicLover-d9y]

Vinegar in the batter is a new one on me but I’ll be trying it tonight.

[@josephinnes70]

Absolutely awesome. What do you think of these air flyers?

[@99brucie]

Hi. Dying to try this out as, living in Spain, miss my fish n chips! Liked that you used beef dripping as that was what my mum always used to fry with. Just one question, if you wouldn't mind - what fryer are you using? It looks a reasonable size as I have found them some are far too big! Thanks

[@DonsBeerReviews]

Where's the broon sauce? 😂 That's an East Coast thing 👍😀

[@glennylane6854]

Love me some fish ‘n chips
