FISH & CHIPS with a TWIST! | Bennett's Weymouth

[@GreenoEats]

Sometimes living around here you forget just how lucky we are to have places like Weymouth on the doorstep. How many of you have ever been down here?

[@GreenoEats]

And who fancies a mackerel bap now? I know I do!!

[@davidjones6470]

Never been, but what a beautiful place got to be honest,

[@PSUK]

I’m Weymouth born and bred. However….my allegiance lies with The Marlboro over the other side of the harbour. 😉

I've been there as a youngster walking the coastpath on my own for like two weeks, that's almost 40 years ago. Still great memories. Just travelled with a Belgian trucker who was heading to Bristol. Hitchhiked to the southcoast (Weston Super Mare that was) and started walking the coastpath from there, no clear destination. Just walk the day, finding myself a B&B in the late afternoon. I remember little and bigger towns like Ilfracombe, Barnstaple, Minehead, Lyme Regis, Sidmouth, Weymouth, Portsmouth, Swanage, Milford on Sea..... From Barnstaple I did a hitchhike again to Exeter, took the coastpath there again walked parts of it and hitchhiked some distances up to Portsmouth. Took the train from Portsmouth to Dover as I started running out of money. Back to Belgium from Dover. No internet back then, no cellphones... had detailed paper maps to rely on and sending a postcard every other day to my parents to let them know all was ok.

@ Marvellous, different times huh!

[@Sharon46T]

This sounds interesting…or sacrilege! 😂 We’ll have to see… Makes me think of a fillet-o-fish. 🤷‍♀️ Nothing wrong with a fish burger - surprised more places don’t do it thinking about it 👍

[@GreenoEats]

Yes, you would think chippies would cotton on to that as an idea.

[@Glory3823]

i like Mackerel ❤❤❤nice chips ❤❤❤❤nice views of Weymouth

[@GreenoEats]

My first video filming out and about I think - a touch on the rough and ready side!!

[@FMLlama]

Some beautiful shots of Weymouth in this vid

[@GreenoEats]

Yeah, only spoilt by the fat old man in the foreground of some of it ha ha

[@davidjones6470]

Again another Banging video/out and about, Really enjoyed it, them chips looked well nice 👍

[@GreenoEats]

It’s a really good chippy. Not cheap, but good quality. They often have specials too, like in the run up to Xmas they do battered pigs in blankets and stuffing patties etc.

[@davidjones6470]

@@GreenoEats ooo sounds great, wonder if we see a food review, on them for Christmas then 🤔😉

[@jacquibradley1598]

Thank you Greeno, I love Mackerel, I make it into a pate and add Horseradish, really good, a pickled Gherkin on the side!! 🤗🤗👍👍

[@GreenoEats]

Seems you have Gary on the brain today Jacqui :-) I agree on the mackerel though, one of the nicest fish to eat there is!

[@jacquibradley1598]

@@GreenoEats Oh dear, my senility is showing through, still laughing though

[@davidjones6470]

3:00!!!! A Mackerel bap, yes i would eat that, love me Mackerel always have it for breakfast

[@GreenoEats]

Mackerel for breakfast. I think the only time I have had that was as a kid fishing with my Dad on Chesil Beach, and they’d been swimming just minutes earlier!

[@davidjones6470]

@@GreenoEats tinned Mackerel, but full breakfast for the weekends init 😉😋👍

[@GreenoEats]

@@davidjones6470 oily fish is really good for you, so that’s probably a very smart thing to have for breakfast.

[@beefytdog538]

I watched this video i thought next time I'm down in Weymouth I'm gonna try the mackerel bap. Went down last Saturday for the day. Tried one.....delicious! Regards, Keith.

[@GreenoEats]

Hi Keith, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

[@GaryG1974]

I have never had a mackerel bap before, but I see absolutely nothing wrong or strange about it at all, so I would love to try it sometime. Although, I am on the fence between horseradish and tartare sauce. The chips looked decent enough. I love the rules on crabbing, but they imply you cannot eat them!?! I would! 🤣

[@GreenoEats]

Mackerel is a fish that lends itself to strong flavours, horseradish, gooseberry relish etc. Believe me, those are way better than tartare sauce for that particular fish!

[@robertleach9120]

Weymouth looks a lovely spot indeed !

[@GreenoEats]

Weymouth is indeed a nice place to have on my doorstep (well, within about 20 minutes), pretty blessed to live where I do. I spend quite a bit of time in Weymouth, as I volunteer as the Stadium Announcer for Weymouth FC too.

[@JonnyTMS]

Love this mate, keep this coming. Lot of love for Weymouth. And now i need a mackeral bap!! Perfect

[@GreenoEats]

Thanks butty! Enjoying learning a new process. Very different to FM that’s for sure. And defo get yourself down here, I’ll happily treat you to a mackerel bap!

[@JonnyTMS]

@@GreenoEats I’m due a trip down south, I’ll keep you posted. Chuck a Welsh breakfast on the list and I’ll treat you, cockles and lava bread 👀

[@Deadman1957TEB]

Watching some of your back catalogue! Still yet to try, mind you even with a blue badge, I find it hard to find somewhere to park in Weymouth, lol!

[@GreenoEats]

Weymouth is a bit of a minefield for parking it has to be said!

[@joeholland1294]

Just came across your page we come to Weymouth every year for our family holiday and always use Bennett’s will definitely be trying the makarel bap when we’re down in a couple of weeks 👍

[@GreenoEats]

Hi Joe, welcome to the channel :-) - funnily enough I rewatched this video myself today, it was the first video I made going out and about - filmed on my phone with no mic.... very rough and ready ha ha! But my views on the mackerel bap still stand - I definitely recommend having it with horseradish sauce!

[@stuffhereprojects]

That looked really nice, hope to be up Weymouth later this year so will give this a try. Great content as always.

[@GreenoEats]

The mackerel bap is something I have only ever seen in Weymouth, definitely recommended with Horseradish 🙂

[@stuffhereprojects]

@@GreenoEats Ah yeah that combination sounds great, and it's nice to see a fish and chips shop doing something different :)

[@grahamwalsh4612]

Hi Greeno. I live in Yeovil and go to Weymouth as often as I can. I love how old school it is. I especially like all the different fish that is on sale at Weyfish. And in the summer the have the oyster bar outside. Delicious!!! As for Bennetts as you said the battered mackerel is lovely and, very good chips. You probably know that Marlborough fish n chips is well worth a visit. Sorry Bennetts but, they are the best chippy I have ever eaten in.

[@GreenoEats]

Glad you enjoy popping down to Weymouth. I do know Marlboro too, in fact I also have a video of their fish and chips, filmed about 4 months back I think 🙂

[@davidjones6470]

Nice Thumbnail, nice music 🎶

[@GreenoEats]

Thanks pal 😀

[@FMDNA]

Weymouth lovely, great video bud

[@GreenoEats]

Yeah, I'm lucky to have places like Weymouth within a 20 min drive of home, always try not to take it for granted! Glad you enjoyed the video

[@69leehammond]

Love Bennett’s. Got a week down there in November :-)

[@GreenoEats]

Great chippy isn’t it Lee. I hope you enjoy your week on the Sunny South Coast (*sun not guaranteed in November 😂)

[@DragonsAteOurName]

I don't know much about fish and chips but now I'm hungry again. Why do I always do this to myself? 🤣

[@GreenoEats]

I know plenty about fish and chips, which is one of the multitude of reasons why I am heavier than I should be 😂

[@thecustardprophet8434]

Haven't been over to Weymouth in a while. Only been there to watch football in the past. Liked the look of the bap though!

[@GreenoEats]

Yeah it was good. Fishier than cod or haddock if you know what I mean, but in a good way. Very flavoursome. You should give Weymouth a go sometime it's probably just about doable as a day trip from your part of the world isn't it? Although maybe there are equally nice places closer to your doorstep.
