Yum. It's Friday!

The tradition of eating fish and chips on a Friday is based on a Catholic tradition, most popular on Good Friday.

The dish became popular in the middle of the 19th century (Charles Dickens mentions a "fried fish warehouse" in Oliver Twist, first published in 1838).

The first fish & chips restaurant was only opened in London in 1860 by a Jewish immigrant, Joseph Malin.

By 1910 there were more than 25,000 fish and chip shops across the UK, and by the 1930s there were over 35,000.

Deep-fried fish in a crispy batter with fat golden chips is still one of Britain and Ireland's favorite meals. The choice of fish served in a traditional fish and chips meal is usually cod or haddock.
