Fish and chips may not be everyone’s favourite meal, but fact of the matter is fish and chips is a British tradition going back a long time, and despite of what some might say or think – fish and chips are here to stay.

Currently it is National Fish and Chip Week, and people have the opportunity to learn an extra thing or two about the ‘dish you can eat without using a fork or a knife’. Apparently the first ever fish and chip shop to be established was the one in Tommyfield Market, Oldham. This ground-breaking event took place circa eighteen sixty. There is a blue commemorative plaque marking the spot of the first ever fish and chip shop in England so you can’t miss it. According to tradition, fish and chips were a Friday night treat, however in modern times fish and chips are favourite meal to many, regardless of what time or day of the week it is.
