How to make proper British Fish and Chips [o3U7bshzqvI]

Wide angle, normal,

wide angle,

normal. Do you like my outfit today? It's

very simple, black and white.

I think I'll do the deep frying here

away from the computer. I don't want to

get oil sprayed all over the computer.

Flour. And we need baking

powder. I don't remember where I put it.

So here's my fish. I think it's cod.

I have to get the skin off, and I, I have

a lemon. And these are my chips.

First things first, make the batter.

Flour, some flour.

Garlic powder, look,

garlic powder.

And some baking powder or baking soda.

The baking powder is in Sachets for some

reason. I feel like I'm making a bomb

or something dangerous. Maybe that's

enough. Oh, there's a hair in the cup.

That should be enough water.

Oh, there's a hair in the flour. And let's

just mix it into a paste.

I'm not sure if this is enough.

Can you see it?

Mmm,

look at that, it's beautiful.

Okay, let's move on to the next stage. I

need to skin my fish.

Smells fishy. That's one

piece of cod.

Hopefully there's no bones in it. Oh,

it's all wet and slimy.

Take it off. Okay. Love this cooking show.

Done 10 out of 10. Thank you.

Hopefully it comes out good,

comes out well.

Oh yes, look at that!

That is one lovely piece

of fish. It just slides right under— ow,

there's a bone and it poked my finger.

Okay, that should be good enough. Let's

get the batter.

I'm scared.

Oh, and I got this special powder that

solidifies the oil after you use it,

and that might be fun. How much oil do we

need? Needs to be quite a lot because

we're going to deep fry it, or we could

shallow fry it. It's quite a lot, isn't

Oh, I'm out of oil.

Wow, I've used half of it.

I'm scared.

Let's just do it.

Bloody hell.

Oh, oh,

I'm scared.

The dough's

going brown. Do I need to turn the

heat down? I can't get the other

piece out. Oh, I'm getting batter

everywhere.

Oh, it's going very brown.

Although, it's starting to go black.

Gah, it's burning!

Quick, save it!

Oh, it's not too short.

Someone call

the fire department.

That was quick. It nearly burnt. Is the

fish cooked properly? It was only in there

for about 10 seconds.

It smells good.

Look, black on the outside, rare on the

inside. Do you think it's raw?

What did I do wrong? If I left it in there

any longer, it would have burnt.

It smells really good though.

Oh, it looks cooked actually. I think it's

Does fish cook that quickly though?

It smells really good.

Wow, it actually tastes good.

Could have used more salt though in the

batter. Scary.

Don't burn me.

That wasn't too bad. Now I know what it

feels like working at McDonald's. It's not

glamorous.

Chicken tikka masala.

Okay, let's try a chip.

Look at that, that is a British chip.

Share some chips with your audience.

Mmm. Proper chips.

The presentation's

very important at my restaurant.

I think I have too many chips,

guys. What would you think if you found

out your food at a restaurant was being

prepared like this? Would you come to my

restaurant if I open a

restaurant? Would you come to it if you

knew the food was being prepared like this

on the floor?

I think I overcooked the chips because

they're very hard and they're very crispy.

You hear that? It would have been nicer if

it was a bit softer. I didn't know it

cooked so quickly. So if I put my finger

in there for 5 seconds, would my finger

get cooked and then could I eat it?

If someone said to you, I'll give you $5

million if you put your finger into the

frying oil and then eat your finger,

who would do it? Dry fried finger, I heard

Look, it's cooked. I'm just hoping it

doesn't leak. I'm pretty sure the bin bags

don't have holes in them.

Look, it's all at the bottom.

It's not leaking. Hahaha, I'm a genius.

Mission accomplished. I got rid of it.

Oil disposed. Didn't even need that

powder. I just put it in the bin and it

all collects at the bottom of the bag.

So see you and thanks for watching.
