WHITBY'S FISH AND CHIPS in Doncaster another SLAP in THE FACE to WHITBY!

WHITBY'S FISH AND CHIPS in Doncaster another SLAP in THE FACE to WHITBY in Yorkshire. After my Fish & Chip Review at The Fisherman's Wife in The Seaside Town of Whitby and the massive disappointment that it left me with of Great British Fish and Chips, I wondered if Whitby would ever be able to hold it's head up high again and prove to me they are the best Fish and Chips in England? I guess the question in today's vlog is can a Fish and Chips Shop called Whitby's fry better fish and chips than the town of Whitby? Let's find out...

[@FeckArseIndustries]

Looks like the fish came straight out of the fryer and almost immediately on top of your chips. The fish just keeps on draining onto your chips. Grim but a trend. Can't seem to stop em . Old style chippys used to do them in batches, plenty of time to drain. That aside, they look nice, vinegar might be a covid thing as you pointed out. A solid 8/10.

[@adriangood5404]

Fish bits is the best chippy in Doncaster should give them a try

[@rickb3645]

They looked a solid 9.0 for me Lee. Just a quick note as far as the chips being greasy. If the fish is cooked to order, the fish won't have had time to drain properly, in the counter top display warmer. What should have happened was a layer of greaseproof paper should have been placed in the empty box, with the fish on top of that, then fill the box with the portion of chips. That way the chips don't get covered in the drained oil from the freshly cooked fish batter. On the subject of those salt and vinegar sachets, get yourself a miniature pair of nail clippers, and keep them in your glove box. You'll then be able to just snip off a corner of the sachet with ease. Or you could carry a small atomizer with vinegar in it for emergencies, and a small camping salt dispenser. It's something we always carry in the glove box, just to be on the safe side. They can be kept with spare plastic forks in a small zip-up case with spare napkins, and wet wipe hand sanitizers. You'll be glad you have them, if you're ever in need of the items listed above. Cheers Lee. 🍺

MM, For me the fish looked good,curry sauce looked good,chips looked a bit poor and sad 7/10. I think when you change your next car you should have a condiments option in your center console as those packets are a pain. Nothing to do with me mate really but I would give the Whitby bashing a wide birth now in case you are contacted and challenged for vexatious complaints/criticism potentially leading to a detrimental impact on their business, you're a big boy but I wouldn't want you in the S### mate. Great video ✌️🍻

[@iseeolly9959]

I was born in Ipswich, just a normal working Suffolk Chap. Best Fish n Chips are in Aldeburgh or Dunwich in Suffolk, if you can dodge the green-welly brigade from London! (love them really but they do need to have the piss pulled out of them, it does them good!). Crown Point in Martlesham has done brilliant food for 40 year to my knowledge. Mobile chippy that stops in Orford, or the any of the pubs in Orford, my home town. As a country boy living on the East Coast of Suffolk .......Whitby ?....disappointing. If you are ever in Suffolk and want a great bit of Sea Bass, Lighthouse in Aldeburgh or the pub in Waldringfield. Not as expensive as you may think (I'm not rich) but just lovely food.....basically any Pub on the East Coast of Suffolk. Best ever take-away Fish and Chips? right on the beach at Swanage in Dorset....wow !, the chips are wonderful last time I went. I dunno, if you get Fish and Chips from a Pub, Cafe, Restaurant next to the deep dark Sea in Suffolk, then it will be fresh and wonderful.

[@colinraine8245]

Lee you'll have to go to Whitby in disguise that would be a hilarious episode see if you get your chips before your scraps lol The fish looked great and curry sauce was better than South Shields so I'd give it a 8.5 would have been 9 with the skin on which l think is so tasty but that's preference.

[@michael6401]

Ok Macca since we’re marking on looks, that wasn’t the best looking fish and chips you’ve had, looked greasy as you’ve pointed out I’d say 7/10, since you mentioned the boxes, why do the use a tiny box and put the fish on top of the chips, use a bigger box and the fish can go on the side ? If you get anything other than fish it isn’t in a box ! I agree about the salt n vinegar too as it creates the aroma when put on in the shop, another good video Bonny lad 👍🏻

[@geoffhobster5814]

They look pretty good, My score for each is 9. The fish is a decent thickness with crispy batter. The chips are the exact colour I like but a little greasy and peas correct colour and correct consistency. Curry is not for me so no score. Chips cooked in beef dripping is a 10 everybody should try. The Bramcote chip shop in Nottingham is the best chips

[@Eric-the-Bold]

I went to a Chippy/Restaurant in Richmond Surrey the other week. I normally eat Cod. The bloke behind the counter, said would you like a taste of COLIN? he offered me a plate of fish to try as a sample. Well no said I, I have never heard of it. Well he said you won’t know unless you try it. I said I will stick to Cod, looking at the plate I said it maybe as tasteless as Pollock, or some farmed fish for Asia. He then went very very quite. I sat down and ordered Cod and Chips £10. Edible but? The whole restaurant was full of elderly people, eating what ? At home I looked up COLIN on the WEB. Its POLLOCK, no wonder the bloke went quite. Well is it cheaper wholesale ,than Cod, Lee? At the time I was not aware of why POLLOCK was called COLIN. Is this widespread? Ie cheaper fish but priced the same as Cod? Who wants to eat Pollock?

That used to be the old firestation. Across from the chippy is the oldest racecourse in the UK with listed stands to the left of the chippy. The new grandststand and event centre is across from Whitbys. I ate in there a few years ago and it was top drawer. Food, tea and service.

Hey Lee, what a building that was huuuge lol Food looked good I thought it looked a tad greasy but it's a takeaway so gonna expect some grease. Was those chips with skin on? Just that it looked like they did also it just proves it's fresh fish they serve as they asked skin on or off. I would give 8.8 because I would prefer them to put the salt n vinegar on for me instead of being given satchets x

[@JG-bq2si]

HI, Lee got to say I hate the boxes it does make the fish and chips soft for some reason and I Don't like the package sauces nightmare to open 😤think this is a 8/10 because you said they a bit greasy and don't put salt and vinger on for you!! what is it with fish and chips later so hard to find a good one 🤷‍♀️😊xx

[@steveholmes4595]

that chips shop is 1 mile from me, a really good fish and chip shop any1 who wants to go it's near the racecourse, if you went to the next traffic light and turn right, you have the Lonsdale fish and chip shop which is also a good fish shop but plenty chips

[@russelldawson9560]

The greasiness of your fish is down to the fact that it has been fried to order. Usually, you would go to the chippy and they would already be in the "warming box" (I've no idea what it really is). But whilst there even for a couple of minutes, the fat drains away to some extent. You are receiving your fish almost directly from the fryer and thus still full of oil or hopefully dripping.

Fish looked great as did the peas and curry sauce. The chips looked bang average. It was obviously greasy due to the amount of grease left on the container after you finished. Don't like the salt and vinegar in sachets. It's an 8.1 from me.

Re rich and chips in boxes. Well my pet heat is about some fish and chip shops using plastic bags for fish and chips. As them definitely makes them soggy 😡😡😡 they should only be using paper bags. I believe that the main reason why they are using boxes is for more to do with portion control, as it’s easier to do so that way. Seeing that they have put both sauces in the box, they have really reduced the amount of chips there 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@bigdaddigaming]

They look great, Whitby should be more ashamed that there's a chippy in Donni that makes better fish and chips than Whitby it's self and it's called Whitby just for a kick in the goolies, slightly greasy and not massively thick but not bad looking, but it doesn't surprise me you got better fish n chips from Donni than Whitby I was thinking an 8.7 but sure on your recommendation I can see an 8.9

Greasiness is always a problem with fish & chips cooked in oil; I always have a sheet of kitchen paper handy The oil always leaks out of the batter and soaks the chips, so as soon as I open the packaging I lay the fish on the paper for a minute or two to soak up the excess.
