Succulent Fish and Chips

Fish and chips to the British is similar to what nasi lemak is to Malaysians — they are the de-facto dish representative of the nation’s culinary tradition. Historians credit Belgian housewives in the 17th century for this culinary invention. When the rivers are frozen during winter, resourceful women fried potatoes as a replacement for fish dishes. During the 1870s, the Industrial Revolution helped to spur the growth of the fish and chips trade, making it more affordable for ordinary people. The development of steam-trawling boats meant abundant supplies of fish were readily available in large quantities, and ice machines helped to preserve the catch for a longer span of time. Today, fish and chips still remain a staple served widely in chippies located across England.
