There a nothing more British than fish and chips eaten with salt and vinegar. Fish and chips is one of our Great British institutions. Cod or pollack are the traditional fish used.

The typical retail fish frying shop run by its owners, usually husband and wife and with part-time help, represents a continuing tradition which goes back in Great Britain to the early days of the 19th century. Charles Dickens, in his novel Oliver Twist, mentions a fried fish warehouse, but it was not until the 1860s that the trade began to develop as we know it now.

From the very beginning fish and chipped potatoes have been recognised by the great mass of the British population as providing a nourishing meal offering good value for money. Even today, with many competitive products being offered in the take-away and fast food trades, the traditional British fish and chip shop is still the leader in this particular field.

The National Federation of Fish Friers was founded in 1913 to watch over the interests of its members' specialist trade. Today, over 80 years later, it is the largest organisation representing the largest take-away food trade in the country. 9,000 fried fish shops having an annual turnover of over £650M sell 60,000 tonnes of fish (abut one-quarter of all the white fish consumed in the UK) and 500,000 tonnes of potatoes (over 10% of all potatoes eaten by British people).
