Perfect for the air fryer. Fish for life. Responsibly sourced. This was £525. £525. Went to little and I bought this gastro two light and crispy fish fillets in tempura batter 100% fillet 270 g.

So, let's get into the Youngs first. Tab system. My finger. Let's have a look at these. So, both responsibly sourced as well. So, that's what you get. That's the um Let's have a look at the other one. That batter looks a bit better, doesn't it? That batter's better. A bit of better batter. We got a bit of better batter. Oh, hang on a minute. There's not an echo in here, is it? Oh, no. Terrible, terrible dad jokes. I'll put that one at the top. And let's have a look at the little one. This is new in little. And I don't know how new it is. I don't shop in little a lot. I took a trip to Kendall the other day. So, let's have a look at these. There we are. Look at that. That's your little one. Yeah. So, that's that one. So, I'll put that one down there and put that one up there and I'll show you. I do apologize for the shadows. So, the bottom one is the little and the top one is the gastro. Wowers. Unbelievable, isn't it? Right, let's um let's get them in the old air fryer. Perfect for the air fryer. Let's get them cooked and let's try them cuz we need to see what they taste like. There's the very important bit. Well, the price is more important. Goodness me. So, they're both going in here. They're done. So, let me get a bit of better light for you. Let's have a look at these. bit of natural light coming in. You can't go wrong. Well, you can go wrong. It's not in the right place. There we are. That's what you get. So, the one at the bottom is um little and the one at the top is Young's. I've had the old thermometer in. You'll be pleased to know they are at temperature. Not unlike the um the last review I did of the double um cheeseburger pie. I did. Uh well, let me tell you about that. Last video I done was the double cheeseburger pie. Like I said, now I did I did have the thermometer in. It was about 80°. I did let them cool. I give them about 5 minutes and I did blow them. I did say that in the video. They were hot. Lava molten lava cheese. Just be careful if you're going to try them. If you're going to try them um pies that filling should come with a warning. They were red hot like pop-tarts. Anyway, I'm waffling. It gives me a bit of chance for these to cool down. Uh let's get them cut in half. Right. So, I have got a separate knife and fork from both. So, this is the Young's one. This, let's just chop it down the center here. We'll have a look inside and show you. That's lovely and white there in there, isn't it? Now, I know a lot of people don't like Alaskan pollock. A lot of people either like hadock or cod, but yeah, I don't mind them. I don't mind them at all. I think it's all right. That's the other half. This is the Youngs. So, I'll put that to one side. me knife and fork. I'll get another knife and fork and I'll I'll do exactly the same with this one. So, this is the Aldi 1.79. So, on that one, it the batter is looking thicker. It's not as thin. And now it's supposed to be thin batter tempura. Light very light and thin. That's You can see the batter. It's quite thick, isn't it? I'll get them side by side and we can have a look. Say that. That's quite thick as well, isn't it? That's not This one here is the Youngs. That's not It's not not exactly thin, is it? How's that? Both look the same there. This one looks slightly slightly thicker batter um on the lid. So, yeah. Crispy. Yeah. Nice and crispy. Both nice and crispy. Yeah. Must admit I do like the they are different batters. You can you see they are different batters. Although on the box they look the batters look exactly the same on the box. But um they are they do look different batters. I quite like the batter on this one. For looks it's the little for price it's the little. Yeah. So let's try them. So I have to say thank you all very much for watching. I've got an update on me kitchen. I'm getting a new kitchen. If you've not seen the video, you'll have to go back a few videos. I've got a start date and it's the middle of September. It's a rip out of the kitchen. Middle of September. I will be putting the videos on my other channel, Ball Foodie Guy Lifestyle. If you so wish to um to go and see the progress of me of me kitchen and getting a new kitchen diner, I have done a video about it. Um I will put a link to the my other channel in the description of this video if you wish to choose to watch it. That's up to you. But I know I've had quite a few people ask me for um updates and when you get in your new kitchen. So, I was looking at the um serving suggestion and the chips in both of them are terrible. They need to be nice proper chips, not these little fries. Terrible fries. Anyway, let's try the Youngs. I know Youngs is um a very sort of a big name, isn't it? I'm going to go in with the Youngs first. We will try that. That's lovely. Crunchy. It's tasty. That batter is lovely. Very, very tasty. The fish is lovely and soft and moist. Got a drink of water in between trying different ones. And it's well seasoned as well. I've not seasoned them. What's missing is a load of chips, bread and butter, mushy peas. Right, I'm going to try the um the little one now. £1.79 versus £525. So, I'm going to go in with little and try the little one. Got quite a lot there, haven't I? Oh, that is lovely as well. That is tasty as well. Wow. Go. There's There's nothing I can't pick anything up between them. They're both well seasoned. The fish is lovely and and moist. Go. They both They both taste the same for me. They both taste the same. The only thing I can pick up on there is the batter, like I said, on the lid is is a bit thicker. Does that mean you're getting less less fish inside? It's food for thought, isn't it? It really is. But the price is phenomenally different. What is it? £346 difference. It's just alarming. Alarming on every for me. Yeah. Are you paying for the name? You know, the Youngs, are you paying for that? I know where I'm going. I'm got a little and I'm going to buy these at 179. That's for sure. Because they taste both exactly the same for me. We're all different. We all have different tastes, different places to shop. I'm just showing you the video, that's all. So, thank you very much for watching, like I said, and um subscribing. Um I do appreciate it. So, take care. All the best. and I'll see you uh on the other channel with me kitchen updates.
