There is nothing more British than fish and chips! Actually, this is one of the most popular and traditional dishes in British cookery, although there are outlets worldwide. It consists of deep-fried fish in batter or breadcrumbs served with deep-fried chipped potatoes. In the U. K, the dish became a cheap food popular among the working classes in the second half of the nineteenth century.
