Fish and chips

Fish and chips

Fish and chips is one of the most iconic dishes of British cuisine. It consists of white fish, often cod or haddock, coated in a light batter and fried until crisp, served alongside thick-cut chips. Traditionally, it is enjoyed with salt and vinegar, and sometimes with mushy peas on the side.

The dish became popular in the 19th century, providing a hearty and affordable meal for working families. For many years, it was even wrapped in newspaper. Today, fish and chips remains a beloved national favourite, enjoyed at seaside towns and city shops alike, symbolising simple British comfort.
