EP 8: Fish and Chips | A Pub Classic Born from Working-Class England - Video

Fish and chips is a British pub classic built on contrast — crisp beer-battered fish, thick-cut chips, and a simple tartar sauce on the side. It’s hot, filling, and meant to be eaten fresh, often with a drink in hand and good company at the table.

In this episode, we make fish and chips at home using Atlantic cod, a light beer batter, and proper double-fried chips for that crisp outside and fluffy center. The tartar sauce comes together simply with mayonnaise, pickles, capers, and lemon — nothing complicated, just balanced and clean.

Originally working-class food, fish and chips became a staple across England — from seaside shops to city streets. It stayed accessible even during wartime, offering something warm and familiar when it mattered most. Over time, it found its place in pubs, where it still lives today — simple, satisfying, and built around sharing.

Planet Pulutan is a home-produced cooking show exploring Filipino pulutan and global drinking food.
