Tom Kerridge has hit back at critics who have moaned about his £37 fish and chips at luxury department store Harrods. The Market Day Fish Meal includes a piece of Cornish fish coated in Kerridge's gluten-free batter and is served with eight chips, Matson curry sauce, tartare sauce, and pease pudding.

Some diners have complained about the whopping price tag for the dish, but now the Michelin-starred chef, 51, has said if people are looking for 'cheap and cheerful' they should look elsewhere. ‘Do the people who shout about the price of my fish and chips [£37] also shout at Ferrari when it launches a new car?,' he told The Times.

‘If you're getting the best you can get, that's how much it is. ‘It’s very different from a fish and chip shop like where I grew up. Frozen blocks of fish, which are sometimes shipped to China to be processed, are different from fish caught by a guy who has been on a boat throughout the night.’.
Meanwhile he also insisted he is not to blame for the extortionate price tag during an interview with foodie content creators Topjaw on Instagram. The Market Day Fish Meal includes a piece of Cornish fish coated in Kerridge's gluten-free batter and is served with just eight chips, Matson curry sauce, tartare sauce, and pease pudding.
He said: 'I have nothing to do with the pricing at Harrods, really. So I have everything to do with the quality of produce that we buy. 'It's day boat fish. It's really expensive, and all of those sorts of things. They set the price, that's nothing to do with me.
