[@jorgradtke8219]

John, I’ve been filleting fish for 35 years and I’ve never even thought about cutting along the rib bones from the inside. It makes so much sense! I don’t often learn something spectacularly new but today was that day. Thank you!

[@TheFishLocker]

I know other folks do it a different way but this works for me. It’s not the fastest but it gives me good fillets.

Good quality fresh fish with a seasoned beer batter and the right potatoes makes Britain's signature dish. There's good fish 'n chips, there's bad fish 'n chips and there's great fish n' chips. I'm guessing that that was great. Double frying the chips shows dedication, three different species of fish shows excellence and this video makes me yearn for my native east coast. Top Bananas from here in France and when am I invited for tea? Peace and love to you and yours. Sam. Xx

Another top vid John, I didn't teach you to fillet fish some time in the past did I? Not many people fillet that way, I try and waste nothing, the fish has gave its life, the best I can do is respect that and get as much from it as I can from it,

[@alanoliver5378]

I have mates who brag about filleting a cod in less than a minute, then spend half an hour taking small bones out, I am a big believer in the fact that it is much better to do a job correctly than it is to do quickly 😉 well done youngen.

I am 100% in agreement. Doing it fast doesn't mean its done right. Take your time to do it right. 👍🏻

[@chrisguygeezer]

No better meal than totally fresh fish 'n chips! Lush. I've cooked hundreds of fish 'n chip meals for the pub. May I suggest that for the non beer batter, that you utilise self raising, as there's no raising agent in the mix. It'll give you a beautifully light batter. And as you've shown, tartare sauce is so simple to make and so superior to what you can buy. 👍

[@TheFishLocker]

I agree Chris. Nothing better than homemade. 👍🏻

You did a great job explaining it and it looks so tasty! Top vlog!

[@TheFishLocker]

I only got to Grimsby once. The docks were huge.

[@Lulu-jl5zd]

@@TheFishLocker They are layered... on the quayside the icers re- ice the fish and auction the boxes of fish. Then if it needs to be filleted for processing or chippies it goes to the filleters a line behind the docks. Once they have applied their craft it is re iced again and you can buy that fish if you know which door to go to. Then behind them you have the processers and incredibly every Mcdonald's Fillet of Fish for Europe is processed and stored in... take a breath a minus 45C frezzer warehouse I was taken in there... it was nippy!!! And boxes of fish taller than houses!

Looks very good again, here we put also some shallot in the tartare sauce and cut everything very fine, so the taste will be more intense , and for fish in batter I always prefer to use a frying pot without the heat elements in the pot, just put it on the gas stove and than the fish can not stick on the elements as they always do by me!

I got Sea sick in the first minute of watching lol.. amazing job Jim that was a proper fish-n-chips. Personally I'm not a fan of beer batter anything. I do a couple different batters for fish. A wet batter like yours and then two different dry batters. One flour - egg wash - Italian bread crumbs. The other 60/40 cornstarch and seasoned flour for very thin fish, calamari and shrimp. That way you don't over power the seafood your cooking. And it's less carbs than traditional batters and breading.

[@sherrirowan5049]

Yum. I can’t wait to buy some fish and cook. (No shore near me unfortunately.) just a tip -rice flour makes an amazing crunchy batter. ❤ much love to all.

[@puddinpopization]

I enjoy watching Mr. Jim cook very much! Does he have his own channel?

[@TheFishLocker]

Jim is wonderful isn’t he. He just helps us with our channel. 😊

Going to have to try your method of removing rib bones. I usually just cut through them and then remove them from the fillet, but I'm kinda trash at it and seem to always cut too deep for some reason. If you ever have a chance to, try a Japanese Deba knife for filleting. It is COMPLETELY different from using a Western fillet knife/long boning knife, but extremely effective. I like Deba better, but your mileage may vary.

[@TheFishLocker]

Its all about practice. 😊👍🏻

[@apadventure]

Thanks for the lesson on how to properly fillet these lovely fish John! Definitely gave me a better insight on how to do it in the future so cheers for that :)

[@TheFishLocker]

Have a watch of our pro filleting video. Shows loads of species in great detail. 😉

I’ve never had the chance to try ling! But having tried pollack I honestly prefer it to cod. Especially deep fried chip shop style! Nice to see Hannah and littleJames too. You’ve a lovely family!

[@timothysniffles]

If you had fish shop cod and chips more than a handful of times you've more than likely had ling, panga, Orange roughie and plenty others

[@TheFishLocker]

Pollack is massively underrated.

[@simonmorris4226]

@@TheFishLocker not by me. I always loved gurnard. Wish I’d kept my festering mouth shut as it’s so expensive now. I actually prefer pollack to cod to be honest. Bugger, I’ve done it again!

[@pafc4359]
