Fish & Chips crispy batter with Fizzy Water recipe How to make cook cooking food chip shop christmas

[kadz88]

What could I use to keep the fish nice and crispy? As mine just goes soggy after a few mins?

[sandgrownen]

My children nag me all the time to make fish and chips and because I come from Blackpool I am a bit scared to make it because they have only eaten stuff from Senior's in my hometown which constantly wins "Chip Shop of the known Universe" awards.

We live in Stuttgart so Chippies are few and far between if not down right non existent. I will take the plunge I think on the basis of this recipe.

It sounds and looks so simple and your calming manner soothes my nerves.

Wish me luck.

[OriginalNakedChef]

@sandgrownen

I wish you luck and hopefully everyone enjoys your homemade fish and chips.

Thanks for watching and the comms.

Be careful though as when word get's around that you are making delicious fish and chips you may find a long queue forming outside your front door :)

Good luck and enjoy!

lovely.... can u use sprite instead of fizzy water or beer??

[azayles]

@indo83gmail I imagine that'd give a lovely lemony flavour to the batter :D Definitely worth a try!

[bikerchrissy]

@indo83gmail I've tried that before, it was lush! :D

[indo83gmail]

@bikerchrissy lush??? im sorry but my english is not that good???

what u mean by lush???

[bikerchrissy]

@indo83gmail Really, really good :D xx

[indo83gmail]

@bikerchrissy wow, thx for the reply, i will try it.. ;)

greetings from Indonesia

[OriginalNakedChef]

@indo83gmail

Fizzy beer or Guinness would be very nice. I do have a fish in Guinness batter and it is one of my favourites :)

Hope you enjoy!

OriginalNakedChef

[azayles]

That idea with the fizzy water is genius :O Gonna have to get a cheapy deep fat fryer and try this!

I suppose you could also use beer :P Beer battered cod! Get some! :D

[OriginalNakedChef]

@azayles

The fizzy water makes the batter nice as it creates bubbles and make the batter nice and light.

You are quite right, you can use beer instead of water.

I also have another video on youtube that uses Guinness. The Guinness gives it a lovely flavour :)

OriginalnakedChef

[azayles]

@OriginalNakedChef Guinness! Now there's an idea!

Will absolutely have to try this :D

[Blarpacho]

Ooooooooooh :) Do you have any tips with the oil? My parents wont make things like that because the oil is a pain to deal with at the end and they wont let me make it myself. Seemed easy enough when you did it though!

[OriginalNakedChef]

@Blarpacho

In the UK some local councils will let you dispose of used cooking oil in small containers & disposed of in your rubbish.

You may have to read what the recommendation is in the US for the disposal of small amounts of oil.

If you have large amounts that you have saved up you may need to take it to be recycled.

Don’t throw it down the sink though.

Maybe once you know what to do with the oil, your parents may be happier to cook this kind of dish.

[Greetingkitteh]

where did you get fizzy water and is there a certain brand??

[OriginalNakedChef]

@Greetingkitteh

Any fizzy water and any brand :)

OriginalNakedChef

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

All you need is tartare sauce and mushy peas. Yum!

[OriginalNakedChef]

@ElvisLivesUpstairs

That sounds very nice to me. I really enjoy tartare sauce :)

OriginalNakedChef

[Michaelmop]

Mouthwatering..

[OriginalNakedChef]

[babyblue11365]

Thank you for all these recipes, I am learning so much. You rock, and I love your accent. :)

[OriginalNakedChef]

@babyblue11365

Lovely comment and that makes me very happy to hear that you are learning form my vids :)

Your very kind and I hope you continue to watch my vids for many years to come:)

OriginalNakedChef

[rYiOkUn]

Is that why we can also use beer for batter? Because it has fizz?

[OriginalNakedChef]

@rYiOkUn

Exactly the fizz makes the batter really good :)

I have a recipe on you tube for Guinness. The Guinness gives the fish flavour and a lovely batter.

OriginalNakedChef

[thomur11]

Lovely. Tried it tonight with a few guests. All thought it was great. Thanks again

[OriginalNakedChef]

@thomur11

I can't ask for more than that!

I appreciate the feedback :)

Happy New year.

OriginalNakedChef

[xiaocurrypuff]

what do you do with the leftover oil?

[OriginalNakedChef]

@xiaocurrypuff

Good to hear from you :)

I would not normally use the oil again when I have cooked fish. I normally put it in a small container and get rid of it.

Thanks for you comms and appreciate you watching!

OriginalNakedChef

[humsupsex]

@xiaocurrypuff Mix it in your car's engine oil.

[cookieellie123]

Can you use plain water instead of fizzy water? Thanks

[OriginalNakedChef]

@cookieellie123

Yes you can use plain water. The fizzy water will give you a better batter though because of all the bubbles.

OriginalNakedChef :)

[LongboardBail]

@OriginalNakedChef Could I put bread crums in the batter?

[bludika]

@cookieellie123 i'd reccommend beer or ale

[TheQama]

does the fizzy drink contain sugar or is it a sugarless drink?

[OriginalNakedChef]

@TheQama

The fizzy water I used did not contain sugar.

OriginalNakedChef

[Zentz29]

Never mind. I just tried it & it works fine! Thanks! =D

[OriginalNakedChef]

@Zentz29

Well done and thanks for coming back and letting us know how you got on :)

All the best OriginalNakedChef

[Zentz29]

Would tonic water work for this? Any fizzy water?

[OriginalNakedChef]

@Zentz29

Hi Zentz29,

Sorry I did not reply sooner. I did not see this comment in my inbox, but did see your second comm.

The answer would have been yes, anything fizzy would work!

OriginalNakedChef :)

[Missydoryfish]

Yummy!

[OriginalNakedChef]

@Missydoryfish

Lovely to hear from you and thanks for the sub!

OriginalNakedChef :)

[SoyuzBot]

I love this dish but hate to flood the pan with oil.

[OriginalNakedChef]

@SoyuzBot

I know it looks like a lot of oil in the pan, but when the fish when served up is not dripping in oil and is quite tasty :)

I would be difficult to make fish with batter using less oil.

Speak with you soon OriginalNakedChef

[Kewinko]

Why they usually serve the fish and chips in newspapers? Thx for the answer

[OriginalNakedChef]

@Kewinko

Fish and chip meals once came wrapped solely with a couple of layers of newspaper. The newspaper was used to absorb the oil/grease but there were concerns over ink poisoning (especially relating to the use of lead type in newspaper production) So eventually they phased out of this practice.

OriginalNakedChef

[ElephantsTongue]

@Kewinko sucks up the oil

[SimoesLaurinda]

chef have u ever try to use beer to made the batter to fried the fish? i think it is quiet nice doing it with beer :)

[OriginalNakedChef]

@SimoesLaurinda

Nice of you to drop in and hope things are going well for you :)

In one of my earlier videos I used Guinness in the fish batter, it tastes really nice and I would recommend you give it a try.

Nice to hear from you again OriginalNakedChef

[PaganGlade]

Exactly the way i do mine, which i shall be doing this lunch :) Going to have a look at your guiness batter recipe in a bit, sounds good. Thanks for sharing your passion and talents :) ~PG~

[OriginalNakedChef]

@PaganGlade

Nice to hear from you and do try the Guinness version it has a lovely flavour.

I really appreciate your kind comments and have a great meal :)

OriginalNakedChef

[jbooks888]

fizzy water is a great idea

[OriginalNakedChef]

@jbooks888

Thanks, have you also tried Guinness instead of fizzy water?

OriginalNakedChef

[Schpudd]

wow it's so simple but you do absolutely perfectly. i'm usually not a fish guy but i absolutely love fish done properly... it looks and even *sounds* gorgeous

[OriginalNakedChef]

@Schpudd

Lovely comment and I appreciate that!

If you do decide to give it ago, I hope you enjoy :)

If you want a different flavour for the batter you can use Guinness too :)

[OriginalNakedChef]

@DukhtareKabuly

Thanks for watching the vid :)

I hope it turns out all right.

Once you have made this dish, I do have another version that uses Guinness instead of fizzy water :)

Let me know how it turned out.

OriginalNakedChef

[DukhtareKabuly]

@OriginalNakedChef heyyyyy thanks loads for ur reply :D

well it was like the best thing iv ever had but it wasnt that crispy.. dono why guess my batter was a bit too thick :'( i used lemonade cuz didnt have fizzy water at home :P it was very tasty tho :P

[OriginalNakedChef]

@DukhtareKabuly

Maybe it was not crispy because the oil was not hot enough when you put the battered fish in the pan.

Never used lemonade for better and new one for me. I did once try ginger beer.

Glad it tasted good for you and thanks for the reply.

OriginalnakedChef

[samsonf9]

no problem as along as i get sum good fish

[OriginalNakedChef]

@samsonf9

No probs, but how are you with fish served up with the heads and tails?

OriginalnakedChef :)

[samsonf9]

Will you be my dad ?

[OriginalNakedChef]

@samsonf9

Only if you promise to eat all your food including the veg :)

Nice one! OrignalNakedChef

[bludika]

i'd prefer if you used ale instead of soda water

[OriginalNakedChef]

@bludika

I have done an earlier video with Guinness instead of soda water. That is very nice and has proven very popular.

I did this one for the non drinkers :)

Ale is another good suggestion and I am sure would taste good.

Next time I make it for dinner, I will give ale a try.

Thanks for the comms OriginalNakedChef

[vloggingrapefruit]

hey mate wicked vid, not many recipes for batter out there but I managed to find some Scottish recipe. Worked a treat!

[616702]

thats simplicity itself.i'm no cook but i run a charter boat and i am always catching cod ,haddock, plaice and lemon sole.my favourite tasting fish in batter is haddock...do you agree?.as for skinning them i never did get the hang of that but found that when cooked this way it comes off nicely anyway.

[OriginalNakedChef]

@616702

Sounds ideal running a charter boat if you like to eat fish. You must be coming into your busy times now.

My favourite is haddock and cod. If you like fish in batter, have you tried my batter made with Guinness?

Thanks for dropping in and nice to hear from you and thanks for subbing!

Thanks for dropping in I really appreiate the comms :)

If you like the fish in batter, have you tried the batter made with guinness.

drop in again any time!

OriginalNakedChef

[pinoyALLmotorEVOIXMR]

@OriginalNakedChef You did haha great job. I'll try this it seems easy enough, just hard work. Thanks for the recipe :)

[pinoyALLmotorEVOIXMR]

It really makes the batter fizz up like that?? Let me guess...that's what restaurants do right? Their secret to make the batter fluffy? haha

[ramrod20042000]

I love youtube! You can find everything on here. I'm on my way to the fish market. I will be making fish&chips today! Thanks for posting this.

[OriginalNakedChef]

@ramrod20042000

I hope you enjoyed your fish and chips.

I also have fish in batter with Guinness that taste quite nice. Maybe for next time :)

OriginalNakedChef

[yootewb1]

dammit! U made me hungry fellah! now ahm gonna have to subscribe to yer channels & be yer diehard fan for the rest o' me loif! lols!

[MrMarkBray]

You really do not have any idea how to make traditional fish and chips. You have fallen in to the age old trap of putting too much emphasis on the batter and adding seasoning's... it isn't needed at all.

Firstly. you have to understand the fundamental principle that makes Fish and Chips the most amazing meal ever to be put together... simplicity! That's the starting point... Secondly, the most important ingredient... I shall not be telling you what it is unfortunately, because its my living!

[OriginalNakedChef]

@MrMarkBray

You are refering to 'eggs'

You do not need eggs to make a delicious batter

[MrMarkBray]

No... I am not refering to eggs!

You are right. Eggs are not needed!

[Lilikins99]

Thank you so very much for this recipe! I have been looking for years to reproduce this. It is exactly what I had when I visited London a few years back.I subscribed to your channel. I know I will find many more recipes that are so easy to do. Thanks again :-)

[OriginalNakedChef]

@Lilikins99

I am glad you have finally found the recipe "Simple fish and chips"

Have you also seen my fish and chips with guinness batter instead of fizzy water?

Thanks for subbing, always very much appreciated.

I try and make all my recipes nice and easy when I can.

Thanks again :)

[totalfailure]

hearing you eat the food has made me realize how famished I really am lol... time to get my dinner started ... oh yes, thanks for posting!

[OriginalNakedChef]

@SittingPrettymn

Thanks for dropping in and watching the vid. I hope you enjoy your food :)

[mykal1991]

Me again! So why is it when u batter these cod pieces u roll it in flour 1st, but not when you battered the haddock in your other video?

[OriginalNakedChef]

@mykal1991

In my other video that uses Guinness. I did use flour on the outside of the fish first before putting in the batter mix. It is mentioned early on in the vid but not seen (One of my early vids)

I do normally use flour before using batter as this helps the batter stick to the fish.

Although if you forget it will still work ok.

[MIRRORIMAGEWORLD]

are deep pots expensive in England??? this could be a firemans nightmare...

[OriginalNakedChef]

@MIRRORIMAGEWORLD

Deep pots as in deep fat fryers?

[xdeathisrighttherex]

you'reeee soo sexy ;) i'd tapppp

[OriginalNakedChef]

@xdeathisrighttherex

Thanks :)

[OriginalNakedChef]

I used "Cod" in turkish that is "Morina" otherwise you can use "Haddock" in Turkish thats "mezgit balığı"

Hope that helps.

Are you naked while cooking??

[oekakinin]

I don't have carbonated water...but I have a bottle of beer. :  )

[OriginalNakedChef]

@oekakinin

Use the beer, that will do nicely!

I have another version of this video on youtube using Guinness. You could watch that before you make the one with beer. You can use any beer, ale, larger etc. Try and use one that has a nice flavour :-)

@OriginalNakedChef yep, good ol' beer batter

[MoonlightEXE]

I think this method would taste good with chicken c:

[OriginalNakedChef]

@MoonlightEXE

I have never tried it with chicken, but it may work with thin fillets, so they dont need to be cooked for so long.

[manhuntAC]

Really good video yet :)

Pleaaaasse can you make an Apple Crumble sorry i keep asking :)

[OriginalNakedChef]

@manhuntAC

Hi manhuntAC, I have been a bit slow, sorry about that.

I have intentions of making the apple crumble as soon a poss. I have just been really busy lately. The vids I have been uploading are ones I had ready to upload in case I got busy. When I make some new vids, I will try and do your apple crumble along with Macaroni cheese and quite a few others that have been requested.

Dont worry about asking :-)
