When did it all start? No-one really knows but we do know that the great tradition for fish and chips in Britain grew with the arrival of small businesses selling food in the streets of Britain in the mid 1800s.
The fish & chip shop
At the heart of the fish and chips story is the good old fish and chip shop. They first arrived on the scene in the North of England. Today, there are over 8,000 fish and chip shops in Britain, making it one of the most popular food dishes loved by every generation and visitor. Fish and chips have also become very fashionable at some of Britain's top restaurants and are appearing in the celebrity chef cookbooks as they put their own spin on this great British food tradition. As you travel around the country you will find that cod, plaice and haddock are by far the most popular fish. However, there are popular regional variations with whiting in Northern Ireland and Scotland, and skate seen in the South of England, and you can also find some more exotic varieties of fish such as red snapper, hoki and even shark now appearing on menus.
