A YouTuber known as Just Deano has caused a stir by claiming that Iceland's own-brand fish fillet strips are superior to Gordon Ramsay's fish and chips from his Las Vegas restaurant. The content creator, who has nearly 50,000 subscribers, tested the '100% Fish Fillet Strips Chip Shop Curry' product from the supermarket's 'new and trending' section.
A Game Changer for Fish and Chips Lovers
Deano described the product as a 'game changer for fish and chips lovers' and compared it favorably to a recent meal he had at Gordon Ramsay's establishment. Despite noting that the fish was not the highest quality, he praised its flaky texture and the crispy curry-flavored batter.
The Review
After cooking the fillets in an air fryer for 10 minutes, Deano commented on the 'beautiful white fish' inside and the aromatic curry smell. He rated the product 8.9 out of 10, calling it 'absolutely fantastic' and likening it to the best fish fingers he had ever had. He suggested it could be used to make a 'posh fish finger sandwich'.
Price and Value
Deano acknowledged that the original price of £4 might be slightly overpriced, but noted that Iceland had since reduced it to £2. He also mentioned that the bags are sometimes sold in three for £10 deals. One reviewer on the Iceland website called themselves a 'snobby Iceland convert' and praised the product.
Better Than Gordon Ramsay?
In a bold statement, Deano claimed that the Iceland fillets were better than the fish and chips he had at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant in Las Vegas. The restaurant, located on Las Vegas Boulevard, has an average rating of four out of five on Tripadvisor from 1,838 reviews. Deano's video elicited reactions such as 'My kids loved these in the salt and vinegar batter' and 'Might go to Iceland tomorrow.'
