DESCRIPTION:

It's National Chip Week in the United Kingdom.

Each country is known for at least one signature food; for the United Kingdom, it's Fish & Chips.

An island country, England has always survived and thrived by the sea. In the 19th century, trawl fishing in the North Sea made haddock and cod affordable to the working classes. From this plentiful catch, fish and chips were born.

Potatoes were first brought to England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I and quickly caught on. The spuds grew well in English and Irish soil and complemented the diet, being inexpensive and filling.

Chips made English style (called steak fries or Jojos in the United States) became a staple and favorite food. The first shop selling Fish and Chips was opened in 1860 by young entrepreneur Joseph Malin in London.
