I have climbed those steps, years ago ( there has to be 199 steps or they wouldn't reach the top). The fish we ate at Whitby was taken across the road from the fishing boat right into the Fish and Chip Shop, that's fresh!

I worked in Saudi Arabia on a 3 year land surveying contract. We lived in a massive work camp and I had my own porta cabin complete with air conditioning. The more senior members of staff lived in houses near to the coast, two to a house. Among the staff were a small team of divers doing tidal prediction data collection using a couple of power boats. One had twin internal diesel engines and the other had twin 250hp outboard engines. The local Saudi coast guard made them take off one of the outboards because it made their boat faster than anything the coast guard had otherwise. Anyway, the diving team used to spear fish for supper and I was invited for supper one evening. OMG! It was battered grouper and chips and was to die for! By the time we left at the end of the contract I think there wasn't a single grouper left in the area. They told me that they (the grouper) were easy to catch because you could get to within about a foot or two and pull the trigger. Grouper are quite a large fish (about 4/5 foot long) and tasted like cod with big flaky flesh. Sad for the grouper, happy for their prey and even happier for us.

I'm from Kent (known as the Garden of England) but I love Yorkshire. Whitby is a great little place. The steps were built because the original cobbled slope, next to it, is SO steep. There are loads of eateries across the UK that serve fish without the skin. Another town that has really fresh fish is Hastings in East Sussex which has the only beach (The Strand) launched fishing fleet in the UK. The fishermen there have their own little "shops", on the Strand, where they sell fish straight from their boats.

I went to whitby for the first time in May this year. When I got to the top of the 199 steps I thought I was going to throw up! The Abbey is stunning, I could have stayed there all day, it really connects you to the past. It's a very dog friendly place, never seen so many dogs in one town, I will definitely return but you definitely need good weather x

[@brettread6373]

Lived down the coast from Whitby during my Childhood and Visited many times its a really lovely place. Unfortunately like many places during the tourist season it gets very busy. However there is also so many more places to visit on the North East Coast. Make sure you have fleece handy the wind even on a nice day can be cutting

[@lawrencemcginley5492]

Ladies close to Whitby are the Lavender fields you can treat yourselves to Lavender scones and buy different Lavender products, the is also an ex German POW camp that has been turned in to an interactive museum. You can also get Haddock, Cod and Plaice but it is only Plaice or any of the flat fish that are traditionally eaten with the skin on. Enjoy, P.S. Norfolk Broads are fantastic and Llandudno also has fresh sea food.

Nothing better than getting up at 6am an going to sit in the cafe on the harbour with a bacon sandwich and a mug of tea, watching the fishing boats come in with their haul!

I live on the Suffolk/ Norfolk Coast, we have lovely fresh fish and chips too, my favourite is haddock so i don't mind the skin on that, with the batter i don't even notice it, the only other ice cream boat i have seen is at Stratford upon Avon on the river, (Shakespeare was born in Stratford upon Avon) i went about 6 years ago for a lovely day trip. Good video i haven't been to Whitby so looks a nice area to visit.

[@donnab3765]

I've climbed the 199 steps to the Abbey on the last Goth Weekend and had my fish n chips with mushy peas too, lovely it was and yeah I visited the church/graveyard too....

[@dianeknight4839]

In Yorkshire we eat Haddock, one of the reasons they leave the skin on the bottom side of the fish is to stop it breaking up in the cooking because it is so fresh.

[@angusclark8330]

Also, the skin when cooked has a sweetness unlike any sugar. If any taste can be described as primeval, it's that. Of course, these days almost all the fish you'll eat anywhere is frozen, hence skin off. I've eaten both juxtaposed. Skin on wins, skin off is fine, but skin on wins, fins down.

My primary school used to organise trips to places around England. Fairborne in Wales was one of them. Memorable in its own right as it was an adventure holiday that included abseiling, rock climbing, gorge walking, kayaking, cave walks to a slate mine lagoon (still, crystal clear water about 150ft deep surrounded by an amphitheatre of cliffs as high as the lagoon is deep), orienteering and horse riding. That was when we were 11. But the previous year we spent 4 days in Whitby and Scarborough. Even 35 years later, I remember it vividly. What an enchanting place.

[@victoria7105]

I live an hour from Whitby so have climbed the 199 steps many times. There are a lot of places to get fish and chips there and icecream so you should definitely visit! There's also a Harry Potter type steam train that goes from the centre of Whitby into the moors. Again, definitely worth doing. A day trip is long enough x

In the Dracula story, a ship pulls into Whitby harbour and crashes against the harbour wall. Everyone on board is dead, even the skipper who has tied himself to the ship's wheel in an effort to get the boat into port. As people look on in horror, a large, black dog (Dracula in disguise) leaps ashore, runs up the 199 steps and disappears. The steps always seem an easy climb because they have placed seats there at intervals so that you can take a rest and admire the view. I live within an easy drive of Whitby and visit often. It is a lovely, rollicking seaside town, oozing with history and very, very popular with tourists. The whole N.Yorkshire coast is wonderful and you should watch a video on Robin Hood's Bay. Jet is not found in many places around the world and the Romans coveted it when they invaded England. The jewellery shops are delightful but, even a small piece of jet, set in silver, is more expensive than you would imagine. An American friend visited me once: she was from the Mid-West and had never seen the sea. I took her to Whitby and parked up on the cliffs, next to the Abbey. Then we walked through the grounds to the church and emerged with a sweeping view of the sea. She stood there, stunned, for a long time. Later, down on a beach, she whipped off her shoes and went for a paddle in the cold North Sea. I shall never forget the look of delight on her face. Thank you for yet another enjoyable video. PS I've been to the famous Magpie which always has a huge queue. But other places are just as good. I like the skin-on fillets - the skin goes crispy when deep-fried. Whitby is an inspirational place. Lewis Carroll also wrote Alice in Wonderland here - hence the gardens in his memory. There is an ice-cream boat called the Two Hoots moored by the Millennium Bridge in York.

The skin on fish is the best part. The skin, to my mind, holds most of the flavour of the fish you're eating. Many fish restaurants or chippy's will serve fish with skin on (I don't think cod has skin on).

Interesting fact about where you sit: Ever noticed that you’re stuck in your ways when it comes to seating preferences? Do you always sit in the same chair when you enter a conference room, select the same bike each time you take a spin class, or choose the same side of the plane when pre-selecting a seat? It’s not just you: It’s environmental psychology. This behaviour is an expression of “territoriality.” Territoriality is a spatial organizing mechanism that expresses itself in surprising ways. “Usually, territoriality is thought of in terms of aggression and defence, such as when nations or gangs fight, but actually its most common purpose is to keep the peace,” says University of Victoria psychology professor Robert Gifford. “Most of the time most people claim a space and others tacitly agree to it.”

Hi ladies, all ships had a ships surgeon who looked after the crew. Limbs would be amputated with no anesthetic apart from a draft of rum and a leather strap to bite on. A hard life for sure.

I'm a regular visiter to Whitby living only 45 minuts away. It's a wonderful place to visit and the magpie cafe is regularly voted best fish and chips. Have a look at some steampunk/goth weekends at Whitby I'm sure you would love this, thanks for your videos which I always enjoy

I’m going to Whitby next weekend for the Goth Festival. The video didn’t show a lot, if didn’t show the beautiful harbour area or where the bridge and main shops are. There is always something a bit weird and random happening whenever we go and there is a certain vibe to the place you can’t capture in a video. Parking is a nightmare though as most people have the spaces for the full day and if your not early enough you could be endlessly looking around for a spot

I always drive to the car park on top of the cliffs, next to the Abbey, and then walk down the 199 steps. There are always plenty of free spaces. However, I don't know what it will be like during the Goth festival - a lot of people might want to be up near the ruins.

@@diamondlil7819 that sounds like a good idea (apart from the having to go up again lol) I have only been up to the Abbey once before as before that, I had always got my little ones in pushchairs. I loved looking round the church but the Abbey gave me a very eerie feeling and my son had several nightmares about the place. Very spooky lol

@@Jobladesuck I'm an old lady but use the seats on the way up to have a rest and admire the view as I go, LOL. Try to come back and let us know if you found a parking spot.

[@Jobladesuck]

@@diamondlil7819 absolutely I will do

Too many videos and places to recommend here in Scotland, not just my Kingdom of Fife. I haven't said congratulations on your 19th Anniversary. Beautiful. Be well, cheers 🍻❤
