Where did fish and chips originate?
The traditional British Friday treat was introduced by Jewish settlers to the UK who brought over the concept of frying fish in batter and oil from Spain and Portugal. The recipe proved popular with the first shop selling fish and chips called Malin’s opening in London in 1860, there are now over ten thousand shops in the UK.
