As with many other holidays, it is important to discuss the history of this holiday.
Fish and chips may seem odd, but they have been the foundation of a whole culture of working-class people. When a person understands the history of the economy and the industry that shaped it, much can be uncovered.
Trawl fishing was a significant part of the North Sea’s economic sector in the late 1800s. This led to a greater availability of fresh fish in areas further inland, particularly in cities. Economics is a science that shows you that “easily accessible” means “cheaper to obtain your hands on”.
This inexpensive, filling, high-calorie food was a great foundation for a working class who held physically demanding jobs in the late 19th century. So it was that “Chippers”, the street vendors who sold fish and chips, began to appear in major cities.
The meal was quickly popularized all over the globe and can now be found in Canada (and being sold from ‘Chip Wagons) as well as throughout the United States.
National Fish and Chip Day was established in 2015 and is still sponsored by the National Edible Oil Distributors Association in the UK. This day was established to increase awareness about the industry. It has continued to grow ever since.
National Fish and Chip Day is a great day of culinary entertainment! It’s not an extravagant meal, but it is a delicious, hearty meal that anyone can enjoy.
It starts out simple enough, doesn‚Äôt it? You can grab a paper-full at your local Chipper to enjoy this filling and delicious meal. Many restaurants might offer this dish if they don’t have one nearby.
In a pinch, you might need to hand-batter, deep fry some fish portions, and then make a few chips at home. It’s easy to make, and it might even be fun for a celebration!
This dish can be made however you want it. You could add a little tartar sauce to the US or mayonnaise to Canada. A special curry sauce is a popular choice for chips in England. The delicious tang of malt vinegar makes National Fish and Chip Day flavourful and authentic.
It is worth noting that Fish and Chips are almost always served in England with mushy peas. Peas that have been soaked and boiled, softened, and mashed up. This is a long-standing tradition. Even though many English people don’t like the soggy green mush on their plates it doesn’t feel right without them.
You can celebrate Fish & Chip Day by wearing special t-shirts and caps with the logo. You can find out more about how to participate or order a T-shirt here.
Fish and chips are a staple American food. They can be found everywhere, from small burger shops that offer fish and chips as part of their fry menu to the finest restaurants offering the best cod and side dishes.
Depending on how they were acquired, Fish & Chips may not be served with the proper British chips, but could instead come with thinner potato fries. This meal is most commonly served at seafood chains like Red Lobster and Long John Silver’s in the US. In the past, these two restaurants offered coupons or deals to celebrate this special day. Fish and Chips is a dish that transcends all boundaries of class, culture, and status. It doesn’t matter who eats it, National Fish and Chip Day is here!
