In this episode of Hammy Eats, Nick Hamman heads to Fourways, Johannesburg, on a mission to answer a big question: Where can you find the best fish and chips in South Africa? πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦πŸŸ

From hand-cut chips to golden battered hake, this spot is serving up old-school fish and chips with a serious reputation. But can Joburg, hundreds of kilometres from the ocean, really compete with coastal cities like Cape Town when it comes to fresh seafood?

🍟 In this episode, Nick dives into a full fish and chips feast:
πŸ”₯ Classic deep-fried hake, flaky, juicy, and perfectly battered using high-quality fish frozen at sea for maximum freshness
πŸ₯” Hand-cut chips made fresh daily from real potatoes, served with salt, vinegar and lemon for that authentic SA takeaway flavour
πŸ§… Crispy onion rings, golden, crunchy and packed with flavour
πŸ¦‘ Fried calamari, tender, lightly battered and perfect with tartar sauce
🌭 Russian sausage, a South African takeaway classic, deep-fried and served with sauces

Nick also chats to the owner about:
β€’ Taking over a beloved Johannesburg fish and chips shop after Covid
β€’ How β€œfrozen at sea” fish actually works (and why it’s used worldwide)
β€’ The secret to making great fish and chips inland
β€’ Family traditions like pickled fish and South African food culture

This is proper old-school takeaway: paper-wrapped parcels, salt & vinegar, and no shortcuts. Just quality ingredients and big flavour.
πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦ Can Johannesburg really have the best fish and chips in South Africa?
🐟 Is frozen-at-sea fish the secret to perfect hake?
🍟 Is this the ultimate Joburg takeaway experience?

Watch now and decide for yourself if this Fourways fish and chips spot deserves the crown πŸ‘‘
