The mid 19th Century saw the introduction of the UK’s first ever Fish and Chip shop and by 1920 the country had a huge 35,000 outlets. Today it is reported that the Brits consume around 276 million fish and chip take aways each year and experts predict a steady increase as the economic climate takes its toll on our pockets.
