Any more of that attitude and I'll..................Batter you!!!

I've gone off fish. I prefer spam instead!

It saddens me that the most innovative thing we do in this country with fish is to stick it in batter and deep-fry it.

I know lots of interesting ways to cook fish - but still love fish and chips

Why do I 'definately need to be trained?'

Looking at the counter in my local it would appear that anyone with a pulse is capable of it.

I'd invest in a self-peeling potato machine. It's got to be a winner.

To be fair, it does depend what the training involves.

Anyone can chuck chips into a friar; the big problem that hospitality start-ups have is that they don't differentiate between the product & the business.,

Actually not quite true - i know enough to know if you get the temp of the oil wrong either the batter burns before the fish cooks or you get a greasy splodge. (equally true with the chips)

There is all the H&S and food hygiene you have to learn for any food outlet as well.

Agree - you can fairly quickly pick up cooking basics but there is far more to it.

Better to serve them chips and let them eat them as they wish, force feeding is an unlikely successful business plan.

How would you cook chips in a frier though?

 

[Paul Norman]

I have eaten literally hundreds of fish and chips in my life.

And suddenly, I need training?

Then i bet you can instantly say whether a chippie is Good or Bad for the price point and make your buying choices accordingly.

If I was setting up a chippie/chip van and someone could for a reasonable price ensure customers decided Good not Bad from day 1 then i think it would be worth it (assuming i hadn't previously worked at another chippie and learnt the "secrets")

Reminds me of this place https://goo.gl/maps/wFRSnU3FjSUCgNzcA

It was so good. I live about 10 miles from the from the other side of LOndon and I would drive there for the fish and chips. Business sold on, some eastern european bought it and they changed quite a bit of things about the menu. Went from a fish and chips place to a jack of all trades doing burgers, wings, bit of everything.

The quality pretty bad now. Thye need to go on a fish and chips course. badly.

Chips used to be triple cooked before, now they're very ordinary - tast like they could have been single cooked.

There used to be a training school at Hull for frying and looking after fish and chips which was highly thought of, maybe still there. Its not strange that people travel up to about 15 miles to buy their F&C when there are maybe 10 other outlets at a shorter distance some within a mile or so

A Japanese pilot school?

At least we kill it before eating it!

 

[UrbanRetail]

I can't comment on the training, but the food is very good indeed.
