The traditional British dish, fish & chips originated in the UK in 1858. The history behind the delicacy originated among the working class in England during the increased development of fishing in the North Sea. The first fish & chip shop sprang up in London by Jewish entrepreneur, Joseph Malin, who combined “fish fried in the Jewish fashion” with chips. The fish used is generally haddock or cod, using a simple water & flour batter before frying. The chips are simply a thick slab of potato, similar to french fries but more satisfying. Just add a good Porter to wash down some fish & chips & you’ve got yourself an authentic British meal! Bon appétit!
