Fish and chip shops rarely fillet their fish themselves, they buy it pre-filleted. And you can't really blame them as working in one is already icky enough with all the oil (seriously, digging out the remnants at the end of the day from the friers is vile).

[@MrDannyDetail]

Which meant is was potentially big enough to not be properly cooked in the middle. Also what sort of culinary maniac deep fries and battters a trout anyway? That's totally the wrong type of fish for it. Also also if the fish was whole did anyone even bother to gut the thing first, or did Max eat deep fried piscine digestive tract?

[@KityKatKiller]

@@MrDannyDetail You can see the slit at the underside when it lies on the plate. Pretty sure they did it right after catching it. Frying a trout in batter isn't that weird though. Here in southern Germany it's often fried in a flour covering. That makes the skin really really crispy. I know it's not batter, but it's not too far off.

[@etymology3]

We didn't see the whole thing I am pretty sure it was somehow staged and Max instructed them on how to cook it, to make it look a bit ridiculous. Also, they were way too unimpressed and asked no questions which makes me think he talked to them before the scene we saw.

The Thames isn’t actually that polluted. The reason it looks really dirty is because it’s a mud bank river with a strong undercurrent. That’s not to say it’s entirely clean. Plastics, fuel and random rubbish etc do have a negative impact on the river. With various fish, dolphins, seals, birds and other wildlife now seen (and returning) in and around the river is a strong sign that it is in fact a pretty clean river. Sorry Max. I do love your work though.
