I SHOULD Have LISTENED To GARY EATS!!!

In today's video we head to Swanage on the Dorset Coast, in search of Fish & Chips.
We've tried a couple of chippies on the seafront, but one we haven't visited yet on the channel is The Parade Fish & Chips. How will it fare compared to it's local rivals?

Another comment of yours to put a smile on my face - thanks so much :-) This chippy was a bit of a mixed bag wasn't it - perhaps I'll try their fish as someone else told me the haddock there is good - but otherwise not in a huge rush to go back!

[@robh8814]

For people wanting to do Day trips on the train. Dont forget about Group travel & travel after 930/10am for off peak fares during the week. If you are in London, then Brighton is usually the cheapest to get too (For coastal day trip)on Thameslink. Dont use Southern as its 2x as expensive as Thameslink & takes the same time(within a few mins). Bournemouth in 2 hr radius is always most expensive it seems. Kings Cross/Blackfriars/London/East Croydon is some of the main stations you can pick it up from.

How can you rate a fish & chip shop without tasting the main dish the actual battered fish. Love watching your videos and when you do a collaboration with Gary it works really well on screen with the banta between you both giving more life to the reviews.

Because they don't only sell fish and chips 🙂 Always interesting to see how the other things they sell are. Glad you are enjoying the content, and the collaborations are always fun to make, glad that comes across well on screen 🙂

[@OldTrancer]

That scampi looked to have a white fish filling rather than prawn or specifically langoustine prawns (what proper scampi is made with). Recently looked through the local supermarket for scampi for the mrs. There were all sorts but the white fish filled ones are the cheapest. Made with pollock usually which not even my cat will eat. Very hard to find proper langoustine scampi in shops down south.

[@GreenoEats]

Originally it was monkfish used in scampi - so if they want to use that then fine... but just regular white fish? That's not scampi, it's a fish nugget!!

You live and learn. Who knew you could get mushy pea fritters. Not that I will try them, I'll take your word for them, Greeno. As for scampi, virtually unknown over here in Canada, it seems like a dish made for a rip-off. Covering it in batter also covers up as to what it was before they dipped it. Today, they take any old shrimp, cover it, and call it scampi. And yes, Gary was right, ripe for rip off. Thanks for sharing. I hope the seagulls didn't attack, lol.

We did manage to dodge the seagulls 😂 Had to have eyes in the back of our heads though! Proper scampi is a real delight, but so hard to find these days.

I have only seen halibut in fish and chip restaurants, not takeaways. And even then very rarely, it’s quite an expensive fish here in the UK.

Originally it was little nuggets of monkfish, when that was an unpopular eating fish. Nowadays it should contain langoustine meat, although often it is just prawn.

[@Eric-the-Bold]

What you dont know is that early morning, staff run across the road to the sea , and await Poseidon to deliver frozen scampi, not whole tail, the slop just for tourist and overpriced. The wife and I refused to buy F&C from either one of the shops, fish small . Question is the fish local or just cheap cuts from Norwegian factory ships.

[@GreenoEats]

At least with The Fish Plaice they do note the provenance of the fish they're selling that day on a chalkboad - didn't notice anything similar at Parade.

Looks like the oil need’s changing

You may well be right

Gutted greeno i recommended this place for the haddock you got scampi cant judge it on that surely all chip shop nuggets or scampi not great i had a great haddock from there one of my favourites i eat everywhere gutted lol

[@GreenoEats]

Maybe I'll give it another chance then :-)

Jeezo all these flying rats when you’re trying to eat crap food 😂😂😂at least some of it was edible…….😁

[@leeshirley2584]

I think they all hit and miss lot of people saying chez fred i went there expensive and i couldn't eat the fish i left it so greasy like i say hit and miss my local the same sometimes good other times really bad just one of those things hard to find a decent chip shop locally i keep getting recommended the one in Hamworthy on the corner people say thats the best in south i will get down and try it soon

[@GreenoEats]

Which one in Hamworthy is that? Allways Fryday has had some very mixed reviews of late online, Kings getting much better reviews - but from the sounds of your description I am gnna guys it's the first one that people are recommending?

It's a thing of beauty, it might sound dodgy but it's really tasty!!

I got attacked twice by seagulls last Sunday in Truro, Cornwall, when I was eating a sandwich. Blood everywhere.

[@davidsworld5837]

Scampi £7.20 you can get a scampi and chips for that much so just getting 10 scampi you can get scampi a full bag for under £3. with proper taste. maybe they were cooked from frozen and all the water was the defrost while cooking. you may as well got a fish for that much. would be more filling

[@GreenoEats]

I agree, with the benefit of hindsight I should have ordered fish rather than scampi. And I am certain this was frozen scampi, hence the lack of flavour.

[@Midland_Wolf_71]

Never seen a MushyPea Fritter anywhere, that sounds like a plan.....

Get yourself down this way and give them a try!! (Can't believe they're not everywhere!!)

Thanks for the sub, and I hope you'll enjoy the content 🙂 I'll have to see if I can find some good scampi somewhere!!

[@dansharpe2364]

I live in Poole. Go to Swanage often. This place has always been dreadful. It's a seaside fish and chip shop. It doesn't have to be good. People will buy regardless.

[@GreenoEats]

I have been avoiding it as I noticed when I filmed at the Fish Plaice previously that is only has a hygiene rating of 3, which is a bit of a concern ! Which is your favourite in Swanage (and also, is there anywhere better in Poole thank Lakeside?)

[@dansharpe2364]

@@GreenoEats Lakeside is mediocre and horribly overpriced. As it's Poole a certain type of people go there because it's "posh", despite being in the Asda carpark! Mia's at 62 Ashley Rd is excellent with very large portions at a very reasonable price. As to Swanage I don't think there is anywhere good, however not far from Swanage, the Fox Inn in Corfe Castle used to serve excellent fish and chips, including takeaway. Not been there for a while though.

Bites, nuggets or other food covered in batter that come in smell pieces is not for me. Much rather have half chicken or fish. The chips looked dire. But if you were happy with your lunch then great. Mushy pee fritter? Never herd of that. Gary Eats would say Let's give it a go.

@@conormacdougal2344 yeah that's all fair enough, although having kids we see our share of chicken nuggets coming through the house lol... Mushy peas fritters are great, give them a try if you ever come across them 🙂

Such dismal portions, but then, that seems to be the norm these days. I wouldn't go there personally.

[@GreenoEats]

It was just ok really. As I said, of the 3 chippies we have tried in Swanage it’s the least favourite, so we won’t be rushing back!

There's no such thing as scampi it's langoustine meat pal still nice if done correctly.

[@GreenoEats]

As I understand it they make the peas thicker than normal and refrigerate them so they can be moulded into balls or patty shapes. Then treat them like any other chip shop item, rip in the batter and fry 🙂 Welcome to the channel, I hope you will enjoy my videos!!
