Have I Found The UK'S BEST FISH AND CHIPS? I Made A Mistake!

I'm just outside of York today and I've headed down to Thompsons Famous Fish and Chips. I've been looking for a Fish and Chip shop that can challenge the likes of Trenchers and Murgatroyds, have I finally found one that can compete with them?

Hi everyone,

I know what a few of you are going to say "another Fish and Chip video" but when in Yorkshire, you have to have it!

Apologies for edit during intro. Had a few issues with the camera but all good now. Thank you all.

The true sign of a great reviewer... Is if they think that they've been too harsh in their initial thoughts... They man up... And correct themselves and give an explanation as to why they've had a change of heart... Keep up the fantastic reviews Gary... 👍 Cheers mate. 🍺

At last! A proper fish cake as I remember as a kid in Yorkshire. Made up of layers of Batter, potato slice, minced fish, potato slice then batter again. Fantastic and glad you enjoyed it Gary

The 'Yorkshire Fishcake' is simply what us up north call a 'Fish Pattie. Designed to use the little offcuts and trim of Cod/Haddock etc but quite often chips shops try to get away with sticking hardly any fish in them. When you get a good one though, hard to beat!

I only found out earlier this year from my sister (over 50 years in Leeds) the difference about a Yorkshire fish cake. A slice of potato, fish, another slice of potato, battered and fried - lovely. So glad that you're enjoying your trip up North Gary. Thanks for the video. Cheers.

People can say 'this one' or 'that one' is the best chippy in the country, it's subjective (to a point) but it does appear Yorkshire seems to stand out a bit from the coast to the inland towns and cities.

Fish and chips is a matter of local pride. Now living in the US, I would kill to be able to place an order with the local chippy. Curry sauce, mushy peas, and a great crunch on the fish and the chips. I would be in heaven you never know how good it is until you can’t get it. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🐟🥔🍟

I used Thompson's during Covid lockdown. Got my fish there regularly, one of the few good restaurants open. Never ever let me down for quality and the size of fish is amazing. Can totally recommend

There’s nothing better than good old fish & chips with a side of scampi. After three and a half months on NHS budget hospital food, I’ve been enjoying having my taste buds revived with some good home cooking. Being housebound I really enjoy watching your channel Gary, keep the vids going.

There is a place called Whiteheads that was voted as the number 1 fish and chip shop last year in a place called Hornsea on the East Coast of Yorkshire

The fishcake isn't all mixed up inside because it's not a normal fishcake - it's a Yorkshire Fishcake, and the separate layers of potato and fish is a defining characteristic.

Hi Gary, this fish and chips restaurant is one of my wife's favourite in Yorkshire. So when she is having time off from the hospital and travels with me up North, she and her friend from Leeds, takes the trip there to eat fish and chips. Unless they go to Whitby, of course. BTW she says that you need to order gravy as well, mate! Even though I can't eat it, it looked really nice and high quality. Another great review, mate! You're a star describing flavours and textures so it's just amazing. Have a wonderful rest of your time up North with your son, even though I suppose you're back home, but anyway enjoy the last of summer. Because when I come home in 8 days it will rain cats and dogs. Best regards and looking forward to your email, mate!

Gary. There's no such thing as too many Fish and Chip videos. Same for Breakfast videos! I love them all!

[richardpaine]

Gary, if you started at the tail-end of the haddock, yes, it's thinner.

[maxwellfan]

Love it when you ward a perfect 10. These fish & chip shops work so hard to deliver the BEST (it ain't easy) so their reward is well deserved!

[neilbuckard]

It's like watching David attenborough eat fish and chips🤣🤣🤣 and here we are just outside the Amazon atmosphere the fawna is spectacular. The ambiance' and the surroundings add the the flavour of this long forgotten fish called the haddock🤣🤣and then we throw in the rare species which goes by the name of scampi🤣🤣🤣🤣🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Being Gary’s cameraman must be best gig in the world!

[toffeelatte]

I will never get tired of Gary Fish n Chips review. Honestly, it's practically your signature review cuisine at this point, along with Indian food. I also love that you get scampi, I don't really have haddock/cod and chips that much I can eat it and I enjoy it, but my first choice is scampi and chips.

Plus chippies are different everywhere, especially between major counties and there's many regional chippies still to cover.

A Yorkshire fish cake is layers of fish and potato in batter . Any other fish cake is really a rissole.

Glad you enjoyed your visit to my home town, York and I think for the second time and you found Thompsons. Excellent Yorkshire Value.
