Hey, what's up guys? I know you guys can see the Olympic rings on my screen and the Olympics on
this cool chalkboard, and basically this is because I'm taking part in this thing that
YouTube Next Lab has set up. They've chosen 100 YouTubers to basically use their channels
as a vehicle to support the Olympics and sort of just to rally around the Olympics.
Among those 100 YouTubers, they're teamed up into a dozen different teams,
and I'm teamed up with a few awesome YouTubers. They're way, way cooler than me. Please check
them out. I'm going to link them at the end of every one of these videos that I'll be posting
for the next, I think, four or five weeks, so please keep on the lookout for these videos.
Today's recipe is going to be fish and chips in honor of where the Olympics are being held,
and this is a dish that I really, really enjoy because from my childhood, I always used to go
to Long John Silver's, and I really thought that was like the only place you could ever get fish
and chips. Then when I became a chef, I realized I could make my own fish and chips, so I'm going
to teach you guys how I make my fish and chips, and you guys can modify it however you like,
but this is a pretty good base on sort of how to fry and batter it and what it should look like.
It's a little bit more rustic, but I think you guys enjoy it, so let's dig in.
So the first thing I want to start out with is slicing these Yukon Gold potatoes and then julienne
them into the chips or fries, as we all know it.
Since not everybody has a deep fryer at their home, I'm going to fry these in a shallow amount
of oil, and they're going to come out more like hash browns than fries.
So this is a pretty straightforward beer batter recipe. All you need is a nice
light blonde beer, flour, salt, and pepper.
Pretty much any white fish can be used for this recipe,
just make sure you cut them into uniform pieces for even cooking times.
You want your oil at about 375 degrees before you start frying.
Since fish and chips can be a pretty greasy mess, just blot everything off with a clean towel.
I'm going to garnish this with a roasted lemon and a bit of cilantro,
and basically just kick back, watch the Olympics, and really enjoy this fish and chips.
that helps me conquer this great divide that the distance is far and wide i'm coming home
