Fish and Chips have been around since the 1800s when Jewish immigrants brought it to England and selling it.
It soon turned into a national staple, with the government even decreeing that it must be available to people at home even during the massive World Wars.
While the original fish and chips must have been something akin to a fish coated in flour and fired in fat, it soon developed into more complex variants, with the coated fish being dipped in batters of various sorts including beer or more recently soda.
Chips which were introduced around the same time to the English palate, became a constant companion to the dish.
Over the years, the celebrated fish and chip has travelled countries, garnering new flavours and identities from each shore it reached.
A comfort food of the finest sort, there can be nothing better than sitting back and relaxing with a bottle of chilled beer and a plate of piping hot fish and chips after a hard day at work
