Most people think that Fish and Chips originated in England, this is not actually true. The real history of Fish and Chips is traced back to 15th Century Portugal where the dish really was invented. Like so many other famous dishes, fish and chips was created out of necessity, not culinary genius. There are about 10,500 fish & chips shop in UK.
Most food writers, cooks, and chefs regard fish and chips as a culinary symbol of Britishness. First Friday in June every year is National Fish & Chips Day in UK.
Many food historians say that a Jewish cook, a young Ashkenezi immigrant from Portugal, named Joseph Malin, opened the first chippy in 1860 in London. The shop was so successful that it remained in business until the 1970s. At present Rock & Sole Plaice is London's oldest fish and chip restaurant and has been serving the British classic since establishment in 1871. To this day the fish is still prepared using their 154 year-old traditional recipe.
