Leeds' Youtuber Danny Malin is an internet sensation - rocking up to spots all over the north with his camera and his little one-man fold-out table.
Full of banter, he's absolutely hilarious and says it how it is - so you know when he says he's found the best fish and chip shop in Leeds he's not messing about.
Recently the Youtube star visited chip shop The Skyliner in Cross Gates, and was blown away with the quality - dubbing their massive fish portions "Wally the Whale."
Ordering what the family-run fish and chip shop terms 'The Special’ - a mammoth combo of haddock and chips, scampi in breadcrumbs, salt and pepper shrimp bombs and prawn twisters - he sat down at his table to tuck in.

Commenting on the food, he said: “Sometimes when you go to a fish and chip shop, one of the worries of mine is when it’s all cooked in fryer [sic], it can taste the same but the flavours coming out of these are distinctive.
“They’re really good, spot on.”
“The chips are absolutely beautiful, the potatoes, the fish itself is a massive piece of fish. Beautiful crispy batter.”
For those who've been wondering, he also revealed why he always brings his own table and chair out to his reviews.

“The reason for bringing my own table and chair, I just like being home from home," said the Rate My Takeaway star, who has racked up over 300,000 followers since starting his channel.
“1, because I know I’ve always got a seat.
“2, I just love it. Why not take your own table and chair? Nobody has ever said I can’t.”
The Skyline has been trading in Leeds since 1962 and has also been highly rated for its fish and chips on TripAdvisor.
