Fish and chips is a beloved British tradition, often considered the quintessential British dish. Originating in the 19th century, it combines battered and fried white fish, typically cod or haddock, with thick-cut, crispy fries.
This meal became popular among working-class families, offering an affordable, filling option. Fish and chips were first sold from street vendors and later from dedicated "chippy" shops.
Today, it’s a national comfort food, enjoyed by people of all ages. Traditionally served with a sprinkle of salt and vinegar, it’s often accompanied by mushy peas and a slice of lemon for added flavor.
