National Fish and Chip Day – 6 June 2025
Today we mark 10 years of National Fish and Chip Day - a which is celebrated annually to recognise and appreciate this iconic British dish.
It is in no doubt that fish and chips are 'the' National dish of Great Britain - a meal recognised as British all over the world.
This day acknowledges the contributions of fishers, farmers, fish and chip shop owners, restaurants, and home chefs, all of whom play a role in bringing this dish to the nation.
The popularity of fish and chips lies in its simplicity and quality. Freshly caught fish, coated in a light, golden batter and fried to perfection, paired fluffy chips, has a universal appeal that transcends generations. Add to that the traditional sides-mushy peas and the much-loved crunchy bits of batter, ( scraps or bits - what do you call them?) and it's easy to see why this dish has remained a firm favourite for so long
This day serves as a reminder of the importance of supporting local businesses and the role they play in bringing communities together. So let's celebrate and support our local Chippy!
