History of Fish and Chips

Fish and chips is a take away meal known to many households, which is traditionally deep-fried, but is often replicated in the home as a more healthy, baked version.

Originating from the UK in the mid 19th century, the fish used is most typically haddock or plaice, coated in batter or breadcrumbs. It is most commonly served with peas and oven chips.

British fish and chips are typically served piping hot, with a good pinch of salt and a generous splash of vinegar, and wrapped in newspaper. They are best eaten outdoors, especially on a windy winter's day, or after a long summer's day by the seaside!

London and Lancashire (in the north of England) both claim to be the first to come up with this tasty dish and during the Second World War, fish and chips were one of a few foods not to be rationed, meaning that they were an important staple in the family diet during this time. Queues were often long. All these years later, long queues can still be found at your local fish and chip shop, especially on a Friday night! This dish is just as popular as ever long live good old fish and chips.
