00:00Right okay, we're at George A. Green's, and I tell you what, what a pleasant, it's got a nice car park, the staff were lovely, it's got benches out the front, it looks great, the whole place looks great, beef dripping, a dark batter, which I'm told is just the way they process, it's not necessarily any secret thing, it's just more of something and less of something else, but they get a dark look for it anyway, and the food looks fantastic.
00:28Look at this plate, by the way, my wife bought me that, and we're going to get this fish on here, oh, part of it's missing, let me just get it off here, onto this, look at that, that's the special fish, now from what I could work out then on the menu, 8,000, look at the size of that, of course the proof's always in the tasting,
00:58Now I'm going to get stuck into this first, because I want the batter to be as crispy as possible, wow, let's get stuck into that,
01:08Oh absolutely delicious,
01:14I'm going to try a bit more of this fish, that is delicious, that batter, what do you think?
01:29Well so far so good, best I've ever had, only got to the fish at the moment, right, you've got special haven't you?
01:37That's just, yeah, we've got special, we can eat it all, that's two halves of it still, we've only eaten about a quarter each of that, have you really?
01:46Yeah, fantastic, we started doing this in February, getting out and about, seeing a bit of the UK, visiting our traditional fishing trip shops, trying to support them, trying to promote them, because they're going,
01:57and you don't want to see them go, this is a fish cake, otherwise known as a Yorkshire fish cake, two slices of parboiled potato, with fish in the middle, battered, let's cut this in out, look at that, look how thick that fish is, wow,
02:25the fish is taken apart, like you would a fish cake, like a mash almost, shredded, and the potato is tender, check out this curry, oh that's nice, that's a proper chippy curry, hey Ed, I'm going to dip a bit of this batter in here,
02:48that is delicious, apparently I've caught it on a day where there's not a queue out the door, please look at that, that's a portion of scraps, you know what, that's like a small fish in some place, is that,
03:01that's like okay, we got there, potatoes collops, dip a little bit in this curry, look at the colour of them, mmm, it's like butter inside,
03:26when I normally have chips down like that, they usually burn, that's not the case with this, this is just the colour of them, and they're gorgeous,
03:39mmm, nice and crispy, my wife likes all these little bits, all these tiny little bits, so I like the big plump bits, everyone's super friendly, now,
03:51they didn't know, obviously nobody knows we're reviewing, until, we've got everything in our hands, in the bag, ready to go, to take away,
04:00I left my wife in there, I managed to set up some of this gear, then my wife came out with the bag, and that's the only time,
04:07because I like to do things incognito, back to the computer, look at some reviews, I'll write my own, see you there.
04:13Two star, opening times, 11am to 2pm for the lunch time, after travelling from Huddersfield, we were disappointed to be greeted,
04:20with the shutters down, and doors locked, at 1.30, long way to travel, for the shop to close early, won't be making the travel again,
04:29three star, spot on, expensive, but worth it, compared to the chippies I usually go to, or I've been to mostly,
04:36what a packet, everything you saw on that video, 17 quid, in total, £8.50 for that great big fish,
04:44less than three quid for that giant fish cake, mine, five star, the first thing to note,
04:49is that the dark batter is somewhat of a tradition, at George A. Green Fisheries,
04:53I've only come across one other chippy, that deliberately uses such dark batter, and that was delicious as well,
04:59encased within what resembles a crunchy protective shell, was a succulent, fresh fillet of haddock,
05:05I opted for their special, which here, is a large battered haddock,
05:09the fish cake, or Yorkshire fish cake, consisted of two tender slices of potato,
05:14sandwiching delicious shredded, fresh fish, once again, enveloped in that crispy dark batter,
05:19given the appeal of the batter, and the beef dripping, I couldn't resist ordering a portion of scraps too,
05:24the potato scallops, and the chips, were equally delightful, with the chips boasting a buttery interior,
05:29and a crispy exterior, the staff were pleasant and polite, contributing to the friendly atmosphere,
05:34the shop itself is clean and tidy, housed in a standalone building, with tables and benches outside,
05:40and a large, free private car park at the rear, cooking in, beef dripping, hygiene rating, five,
05:46cash or bank transfer, fish reviewed, special haddock.
05:50The other.
05:54The other.
06:00The other.
