I Review GOLDEN FISH AND CHIPS!

[@HCRFilms1]

As a Yorkshireman who's been exiled to London, I've really struggled to find a decent chippy. That said, when I was in Greenwich, I called in here and was genuinely surprised by the quality, service and the fact it felt like a proper 'chippy'. Really do think it's the best in London (and I've tried a fair few!). Keep up the great work Gary!

[@Charlie82378]

It's because white British people are now very much a minority in London.

[@orionxtc1119]

very expensive....

[@gooner7331]

​@@orionxtc1119 it's London, everything will be expensive. Especially when compared with prices up north. In fact compared with everywhere else in the country

[@alex-E7WHU]

I've found that when up north (Newcastle area) it's difficult to find anything other than haddock or cod. But the stuff on offer up here is very tasty, and reasonably priced.

So glad you enjoyed this Gary! It was enjoyable watching you! And to you and the Gary Eats community, this is Michael from Florida. All is well here. I live on the edge of the Everglades about 20 miles east of the Gulf of Mexico so no need to fear storm surge. I was on the dry side of the storm, so there were tornadoes all around, especially further east, but none here. I feel very fortunate, but lots of my fellow Floridians were not so fortunate. It’s going to be a long recovery. But I appreciate all your concern!

So glad you’re ok, I’ve been watching the horror of the cyclones from Australia and they were terrifying. Thoughts to everyone impacted.

Fortunately however a new Chippy a year later opened up down the road call Oh My Cod and gotta say it’s pretty damn good. Fresh Fish daily and awesome Crispy batter

[@Scarduck14]

Got to back your food if you call your shop it😂 open yourself up for major criticism if it’s not good. Mumfords was king. Same family passed down from father to son throughout its years. However because it’s old school they didn’t deliver or advertise. In Thurrock so many new people have moved here in last 30 years. Many people hadn’t heard off it. Despite food being top top quality shop was down a side road so didn’t even benefit from much through traffic. So lockdown was the final nail

[@stevebarlow3154]

Rock salmon aka lesser spotted dogfish is related to Bull Huss aka greater spotted dogfish. Spurdog is another species of small shark related to the dogfish, with a nasty venomous spike. You might also see Smoothhound (great angling fish) on the menu as Rock.

Rock is Dogfish, not bullhuss. Aka rock salmon.

Excellent quality. The owner actually knows where his fish has come from. I think it's pretty easy to know why the fish and chips is better in the North East.

I know this chippy! That mural at 0:49 made news as the local council deemed it “offensive”. Common sense must have prevailed as it’s still there…

[@SuperSweetok]

Tory and Labour leaders criticise ‘tedious culture war’ over Golden Chippy mural The mural was covered by national and regional news outlets. Credit: The Greenwich Wire Greenwich’s Labour and Conservative leaders have united to criticise the “tedious and disingenuous culture war” spread in the media over a chip shop’s Union Jack mural. Anthony Okereke and Matt Hartley set aside election campaigning at last week’s council meeting following repeated stories wrongly claiming that the owner of the Golden Chippy on Greenwich High Road had been ordered to remove a mural because it featured a Union Jack. The chip shop is in the tightly-policed Ashburnham Triangle conservation area where any changes to buildings - including murals - have to be approved by the council BBC London, the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail, GB News and the News Shopper all ran stories about the mural in the last two weeks of March. The Golden Chippy was once named the best in London and has an eye for publicity - a similar story appeared in the Evening Standard in 2018, this time about a 17-foot sign above the shop also bearing a Union Jack. Conservative leader Hartley - who said the shop sold “cracking fish and chips” - told the meeting: “This media coverage continues to appear despite the story being repeatedly and comprehensively debunked. “These stories continue to be shared and pushed online by individuals who are trying to create some kind of tedious, disingenuous culture war. Hartley conceded that the shop sold “cracking fish and chips” Credit: The Greenwich Wire “The council’s request for the mural to be removed is a simple and straightforward and really quite boring planning enforcement issue relating to the conservation area. The fact the Union Jack happens to appear on this mural has absolutely nothing to do with the council’s request for it to be removed.” “Our residents rightly expect that everyone should play by the same rules when it comes to the planning system. So would the leader agree with me that this issue is actually a simple question of that good old fashioned British sense of fair play.” Okereke, the Labour leader of the council, responded: “This council is extremely proud of our country. I would reiterate, we have not asked the business to remove the advert because of the presence of a Union Jack. This is not a culture war and it would be disingenuous to state otherwise as certain media outlets have suggested. “Rather, we have taken action against an advert placed in a conservation area without planning permission. It is therefore a straightforward planning enforcement issue. Sometimes in local government, things are really boring - just not in this case.”

[@cjlhessing]

That was also proved to be nonsense. It was nothing to do with being offensive, it was an unlicensed and unauthorised advert.

Agreed, it took my 23 years to find a decent chippy in London, until I found this gem. Sitting outside on a warm Friday evening adds to the nostalgia.

[@GaryEats]

Oh yes!

[@JonDoe-zi3mh]

Great review as always Gary and I especially like that they're all filmed in 4K60 video quality. This really adds to the viewing experience, making the picture look more like a moving photograph rather than a video. I love chippy food so this place will be worth a visit if I'm ever down that way.

[@silviodawson3414]

Yep! I agree. 😊

[@GaryEats]

That is very kind to say my son is doing a good job in my opinion

[@MrSkunky2009]

Well Gary... My favourite dish of all time ... This looked absolutely wonderful.... Great presentation that can only be yourself my friend... Great review and even Anne-Marie was tempted as it had Salad her favourite... Brilliant episode Gary !!!

[@GaryEats]

Thank you so very much, and I hope you both have a wonderful weekend 🌹🌹

Our local chippy was closed tonight. The police were taking the owner away in handcuffs for animal abuse ,seemingly, he battered two fish 😂😂. Another great review gary , thanks for making my night .

I heard he was floundering.

LMAO I did actually LOL at that. I was expecting something about cats.

All looked very tasty but can it match fish and chips in the north afraid not. For me it's an 8.5.

Watching this later in the day than normal, I am now craving fish and chips! That looked really good. It is a long time since I had rock - and it was a fish we'd have at home when I was a kid. I remember the fun and games involved in preparing it; getting the skin off was a skill we never truly mastered and for us it involved a door post, a stout nail and several pairs of pliers! A bit like digging up the Great Big Giant Turnip in the kids book, where everyone including the dog, had to pull! You made me smile on what has been a very draining day, with a funeral to attend. Thanks Gary and camera-son. Maybe we WILL go out and find some semi-decent take away - it involves a 20 minute ride at least, but the sun is shining and it's light for another 3 hours . . .

[@GaryEats]

I hope you had a wonderful meal, Liz, I also hope you have a fantastic weekend xx

Gary is the only "True British" food review to review British cuisine. Keep it up mate

[@GaryEats]

That is a kind comment thank you very much

[@JoannaHammond]

The breadcrumbs on the scampi where way over, the fish portion too small, the chip portion minimal. Worst of all £7 for a main chips (on the menu.) It's one of the things I really miss about living up north (left 30 years ago,) the southern half of the country has no idea what fish and chips really is and don't get me started on most places mushy peas.

[@GaryEats]

I think it's just the way it looked, I can confirm they were not burnt apart from the little one. I doubt they would send them out if they were

[@reetpateet8656]

Spot on - I couldn’t agree more!

[@sharoncox4776]

I think most of us can agree, that prices up North are considerably cheaper than the Capital of GB. This applies in all areas, - food, house prices, rental prices and rates etc. You find all capital cities across the world charge extra for such, Personally, taking all the above into account, I found the quality and quantity of the fish, and hand cut chips to be beautiful and suffice for one, Scampi may be viewed as somewhat over done, but taste is what matters and as what Gary has said it was just the way they looked. All in all, the price for the whole meal, including that lovely dessert, was very reasonable taking everything above into account. Have a lovely day.

[@leefromoakville3810]

While I’m not a fish ‘n’ chips expert, the presence of a salad on the plate kind of defeats the purpose of the meal. 😊

[@PaulineTownsend-j4z]

Not liking mushy peas or any peas for that matter, and liking something green on my plate, that would suit me but we are all different.

[@jeanallan8106]

I like the idea. I’m not the biggest fan of fish and chips because it’s so heavy and I feel like rubbish after. Salad would help.

[@GaryEats]

No problem, I thought it was a nice addition for a change

[@leonardmcdermott7703]

Well fish and chips is a pretty rubbish meal. I can enjoy it once or twice a year.

[@edjones521]

I am in Woolwich next week, and will go here. What is very good about this video is - for a type 1 diabetic, it is very frustrating with fish and chips as you have to either guess (often wrongly) how many chips youre going to get served to sort out your insulin...or wait til the food arrives and it goes cold while sorting out your insulin. Thanks to you young Gaz - i now know beforehand!!! By the way, I have messaged you several times (and each time youve replied, so no worries) about Inn at the Sticks in Llansteffan...today it was named in the Good Food Guide's UK Top 50! Get down there!

[@GaryEats]

I hope you really enjoyed and I will be taking a look. It’s just finding the time.

[@simodthebod4256]

Great video as ever Gary. Never been to the Golden Chippy weirdly. Will have to try it out. I do recommend ‘Something Fishy’ in Lewisham High St as another superb traditional chippy. Always found their fish and chips consistently better than whenever I go to the coast! Cheers

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much for the recommendation

[@thecouchpotatocinemaclub9053]

Jesus wept those prices!!!! Even Dick Turpin wore a mask

[@GaryEats]

Do remember it's restaurant prices, takeaway much cheaper

[@olderthangodsdog29]

£9 for a saveloy!🤣 It'd have to be bigger than their large fish for that!

[@thecouchpotatocinemaclub9053]

@@GaryEats Even so Gary, It was bloody dear. Probably average prices for London but, If your further North up the map to us, It's blooming expensive. 😂

That's a fair comment. I was shocked to see that a regular cod in Trenchers Whitby is £17!!

[@richardmurray2068]

Firstly salad with fish and chips is an odd one but the fact said salad takes up a 3rd of the plate is a bit of a red flag to me!

[@joyelmes7814]

Less chance of noticing a half portion of fish.

[@splodge57]

I thought it great to see some colour on a plate of Fish and Chips. Although not the best salad that I've seen.

[@IrishGemm]

You were asking about what type of fish we would order. I can only speak for myself of course but the only time I see fish other than cod/haddock/pollack is in a nicer restaurant and I’m scared to order it in case I won’t like it and/or it’s tiny! It would be wonderful if you could keep introducing food line this in future as I have never heard of or seen rock fish in a menu but it looks yum! Sending love from Ireland as always ❤
