Tom Kerridge launched into a potty-mouthed rant after his pricey fish and chips were compared to something from a supermarket “frozen aisle.”
The TV cook branded the customer a “d*ck” for slamming his dish.
Another customer said the haddock looked like a “fried tea towel.”
He is now charging £32 for it at one of his restaurants, Kerridge’s Bar and Grill in central London.
The 50-year-old was blasted three months ago for his £37 fish and chips at his Kerridge’s Fish and Chips eatery in Harrods.

He wound up hard-up Brits by plugging his Deep-fried line-caught haddock and chips with pease pudding, tartare and spiced matson sauce meal.
Kerridge said: “I know my fish and chips are always a hot topic.
“And in my opinion, you absolutely can’t beat a good fish and chippy tea.
“The fish and chips at Kerridge’s Bar and Grill is a real crowd pleaser.”
But Wayne Robinson said: “The fish looks like a fried tea towel.”
Robbie McKye fumed: “Looks like something you’d get in the frozen aisle.
“Poor.”
Kerridge – who owns nine restaurants in the UK and has three Michelin stars – hit back at the latter.
He added: “Robbie, sad post mate.
“Cheer up buddy, say something nice, don’t be a d*ck.
“It’s not a good look.”
But another customer Chris Kelly said to Kerridge: “You lose any argument when you resort to insults.
“You don’t like criticism do you?”
Matt Brown added: “I usually respect you but that’s also a d*ck reply.
“His opinion is valid whether you like it or not, it looks average and overpriced for fish and chips.”
Dean Roberts said: “Unfortunately Mr Kerridge has forgotten his routes and expects these prices to be for real people.
“Fame goes to the head.”
James Agg added: “He talks the talk, but a chippy tea doesn’t cost £37.
“Anywhere decent in Yorkshire will get you a decent fresh fish and chips using top notch ingredients for just over a tenner.”
Gemma Fenton joked: “Missing a can of Lilt.”
Yet Carla Austin said: “I’ve eaten Tom Kerridge’s fish and chips and they was delicious.”
