📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Fish and chips was born in 19th-century Britain and spread as an easy meal for workers, becoming a national dish. Cod or haddock is battered and fried and sold wrapped in paper with thick-cut chips. It's classically doused with salt and malt vinegar and served with mushy peas or tartar sauce.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a seaside town's breakwater, a family shakes vinegar over piping-hot fish and chips in paper, keeping a wary eye on the seagulls.
