The American version of the fish and chips is ruining the classic.

@wolfy9005 That is still just a cultural difference because in the U.S. we call them French fries or steak fries regardless of the size. He isn't wrong, he just uses different words colloquially than you do in Great Britain. Also, the point is that he is not making traditional fish n chips. He is a Southwestern cook who takes on others in their specialties and tries to do it with a twist from his specialty so that it is not the same as his opponents or anything else that has been done.

@MoustacheCloud lol yea, wtf are they thinking, they don't even know the bare basics of fish and chips

[MoustacheCloud]

what water did Mat use?

[MrFloppywaffles]

It seems a bit cruel to strut into a restaraunt that has been in their family for years and just make their signature dish only to have their customers say that you did better .

@rxolsen I agree about the colloquiallism, but fish and chip shop "chips" are really unique and are nothing like "fries" or American steak fries. They are a bit softer but still crispy on the outside and a bit more dense. May have to do with the type of potato they use. I think they use Maris Piper potatoes in England for their chips. Whatever they use they are REALLY good with the fish! I will be in England in a month and I will definitely be having fish n chips for dinner that night :)

what makes him think in anyway that if hes not up to the challenge and cant try frying english chips then dont make the video cos you will lose hands down to fish n chips then fish n fries!
