Harrison, you ooze gentlemanly charisma! Great video!

[@aoifemoriarty1296]

The Mayfair guy clearly clocked you were recording so that's prob why all the sides were free? I could be wrong..

[@aoifemoriarty1296]

Also it's called *cashback* - There was a Pret two doors down!

[@statorcs]

My thoughts exactly! The guy behind the counter knew exactly what was going on 😂😂

[@laithh7]

They are actually free i’ve been there a couple of times.

[@StewedFishProductions]

4 months too late, but that's exacly what I thought..! They saw you Vlogging, because they DO normally charge EXTRA for those: £4.00 Mushy Peas and £2.00EACH for the Tartar and Curry Sauces... Unless they were very small 'sampler' portions?

[@xxxxOS]

A lot of indian owned restaurants give out free sauces. Awesome

[@thechippytour]

As someone well-versed in traditional chippy fare, coarse sea salt won't stick well to fish and chips unless you pour vinegar first, so it's better to use fine sea salt. I understand that table salt isn't ideal. You'll find some of the best fish and chips in the country in and around Yorkshire, where most are cooked in beef dripping. However, the best I've had so far was in Bristol. I also review incognito, so the chippies don't have a chance to sweeten me up with large portions. I rate on a scale of 1 to 5, as it's much easier for people to relate to, similar to how Google, Yelp, Yell, hotels, and most other platforms rate. On a scale of 1 to 10, where the difference between an 8.3 and an 8.4 means nothing to anyone, it is less effective.

[@catevanscuisine]

The chippies in Blackpool are amazing too. Dan and I ate our way around them earlier in July. 😹

[@omegadeep1]

Great review. One point on the Salt, which is fish & Chip shops have been discouraged from over salting the food.Thiscis simply because the British consume far too much salt. Max intake should be no more than 4,2 grams per day to avoid long term health issues.

[@jamesrowe3606]

I used to work a few doors away from the Seashell in Lisson Grove and often had my lunch standing at the shelf inside the front window eating chips. They were undoubtedly the best chips I've ever had. I didn't have the fish very often as it was ruinously expensive, but it was very good too. I lived round the corner from The Fryers Delight and often ate there too. It was pot luck to be honest. Sometimes the fish and chips were fine, but occasionally they were, oily, soggy and quite unappetising. I think it's living on its reputation.

[@madamechaos7481]

As someone from up north, Stones in Acton has been the best fish and chips I've had since getting to London a few years ago.

[@catevanscuisine]

When I worked in Westminster, I used to go to the Laughing Halibut. Especially on a Friday, queues would form right round the block. I took my hubby Dan there for lunch one day last year (our wedding anni meal lol!) for old times' sake and it didn't disappoint. I went to Toffs in Muswell Hill a few times in the past when I lived in London. There's a bangin' chippy in Twickenham near the Wetherspoons.

[@ramanand5187]

For a kingdom that ruined civilizations for spices, youd expect their food be atleast salted

Hello! Nice to meet you mate! The fish and chips is one my favourite British food I've ever eaten!!!!!🐟🍟🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@seanjamescameron]

I challenge you to find the best traditional Sunday lunch in London. I lived there for 20 years and could never find it. No1 Pimlico came close.

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

The Fryer's Delight staff should have said at the start it's cash only or have a great big sign saying CASH ONLY. Give up mate, don't bother going back. It's their loss. They must lose a lot of business if people can't find cash locally and hence don't bother going back to collect their order. They're obviously not business people. If I was the owner, I'd have an ATM in the shop. We need to keep promoting the use of cash otherwise we are going to lose it to digital currency and we definitely don't want that, although it's inevitable. A lot of businesses are now ditching their card machines because of high bank charges. Always good to keep at least £50 cash on you because you never know when you may need it and if ATMs are thin on the ground because the banks have closed up, you can get caught out. If you don't have a card, how would you have got cash out of the ATM?

[@paullewis2413]

The principal ideas of a cashless society are for Government to have access to how, when and where you spend your money and for the banks to make even more obscene profits.

[@johnthomas9992]

​@paullewis2413 nail on head there buddy

[@annother3350]

Cashis king. Cash spending rose 7% lasy year -- thats massive

[@catevanscuisine]

Yes, CASH only signs required. It's a similar problem with Card only when no signs displayed and you try to pay in cash. Dan and I walked out of Daylesford Organic recently as he refused to use card only and no sign displayed. Jezza Clarkson is cashless too. Sign up at Diddly Squat farm - fair enough - but not at Farmer's Dog - naughty! So much for espoused Freedom!

Hi Harrison. Thank you for another great video. You made me laugh so much: Hello Geezer…what are you doing here?? I love how you went from London Geezer to Irish Charmer 🤣 Keep up the good work man! ❤️

Merchants have to pay a fee when customers pay by credit or debit card. As a customer, would you mind being upcharged 3% to use your card?

[@craigm.5674]

Taking cards is just Cost of doing business… in usa… most states…not allowed to charge back to the client the fee if use a debit card… but 2% allowed if a credit

[@MagneticSoulPower]

Cash 💵 is good still as an option! Should be in circulation no matter what. 🎉

[@ZeeBeeZB]

I’ve only seen 3 videos from this channel and 2/3 have a section where he has to go hunt for an atm because a shop would only take cash

[@MrWiseinheart]

Should always have cash on you.

[@catevanscuisine]

​@@MrWiseinhearthandy as well in case the system goes down, which it often does these days. A debit card might also be a good idea for the ATMs to work! 😹

[@pastamane]

seriously mate, if a business doesn't accept cash and they've told me after the food is made, that's on them. i walk out and don't even bother to get cash

[@anakreonsears6733]

I just read your interview with Maldon... so yeah ..gonna go search for one of those carry with you. And yes, salt shape and size changes the taste and memory of the food experience.

[@hamburgersarelife]

I enjoy your videos. I remember when fish and chips were so affordable, like $10 dollars. Sitting on the beach with fresh bread, butter, tomato sauce, and maybe vinegar, enjoying it on a sanga. These days, a meal with 2 pieces of fish, 2 prawn cutlets, 2 potato cakes, 2 dim sims, and small chips would cost around $40.00 on average here in Melbourne, Australia.

[@sbbeats1082]

Sad mate, i own a business in london selling chicken burgers at 3.50 as a meal and masala fish is around £8 from fillet cod. chips are 1.50 and drinks 75p consider visitng a new city for cheaper food

[@vincefree]

Should have done Toffs fish and chip shop. One of the oldest family run chippies in London. Absolutely class

[@bettysaleh468]

Big Island Hawai’i, fish and chips, Harbor House, Kona side, Fish and chips around $18.50 USD, it’s fish of the day, usually Ahi, it could be Ono or Mahi. Enough for two. Delicious, no sauces needed, but their sauces are equally delicious.

[@theresahenderson3534]

In America fish and meat are salted and seasoned before cooking. Chips are salted as soon as they comes out of the fryer. If anyone wants not salt then he should say so upon ordering.

[@joyknowles7600]

In our country we don't eat fish without loads of lemon/lime and red hot peppers. I respect the chippie shop that won't accept cards!!!

I grew up in a coastal town and now I live in London, so I am paying very close attention to this! Fish and chips here is often so disappointing to me, so thanks for testing places out =D

[@simply_itsDaiz]

Quite a few places I go to in London for fish and chips you have to ask for salt or salt and vinegar on your chips

[@annother3350]

Chip shops almost never season by default. Where has this guy been living?!

[@DameTremonti]

Vinegar on first, then the salt sticks to the vinegar - otherwise you just end up with loads of salt at the bottom of the tray or bag. Nice one. New Subscriber.

[@Sharon46T]

In the South West chippies always ask if you want salt and vinegar before they wrap it/ close the lid of the box and check with you how much you want on 🤷‍♀️ Grease is a no-no 😖

[@fatinahmed1087]

The Rock & Sole Plaice also serve amazing scampi and calamari. Also top tip, if you tell the servers that you work in the local area (e.g. Sunglass Hut) you will get a 10% discount!

[@Lola_Shade]

I recommend Finatastic in East london, on Broadway Market. Incredible fish and chips run by a very hands on owner.

Up north, we favour Haddock over Cod. Cod is bland and could have worms between the skin and flesh

[@annother3350]

Nobody's ever found worms from Cod in a chip shop!

[@adambromley9731]

@@annother3350As a fish processing worker in the North East; I assure you the worms are often there, we all just rely on good filleters spotting them. Anyway, if they slide past and make it to the fryer they cook white so you’d never know 😊

[@admear]

For me the best one was Catch 55 in Scarborough. There is no oily smelly food in there. Everything is superb. People go disgusting smelly places but this one is by far best in Uk. Even their calamar bloody good than many Mediterranean places.

[@roddychristodoulou9111]

We have the best fish and chips here in Cyprus , it's called Lambros fish and chips and it's based in the British army base of Dhekelia . If ever you come to Cyprus for a holiday you must give this place a try , it's the best fish and chips you'll ever have .

Fish and chips are Spanish. It is a Spanish recipe exported to England in the Middke Ages. It is, indeed, an original Spanish dish 🇪🇸

Cash only is the way to go visa and mastercard charge 1% on every single transaction so you are both losing and if you charge back the shop still loses that 1%

Hi, where did you get the Malden salt small container? Love it. And.... can you do a video on Eataly if you haven't already?

A crunch is important but if you put the fish in a box an have it delivered or go somewhere its going to steam and loose the crunch.

[@spaceodds1985]

As a Londoner, I make it a rule never to eat Fish and Chips in Central London. It’s always expensive and rarely ever good. I stick with my local chippy I work a few seconds away from The Fryers Delight, nice staff, but I always go for sausage, beans and chippings 😉 The lack of ATM’s in the area is criminal, and the nearest ATM (except from the newsagents) is actually across the road from Holborn station (both Sainsbury’s and Metro Bank have ATM’s) But I agree it really is criminal that there are less ATM’s around.
