<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Pad Thai, the national dish of Thailand, is actually of Chinese origin. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Mexican taco al pastor has roots in Lebanon. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fish and chips actually come from Portugal.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer: they\u2019re all true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>That\u2019s right, fish and chips, that staple of the British diet, is not really British at all. Or at least it wasn\u2019t.<\/strong> The roots of the dish, or at least the fish side of it, apparently hail from <strong>Jewish culture in Iberia<\/strong>. Jews couldn\u2019t cook on the Sabbath, so in medieval Portugal, they fried fish on Friday afternoon so that it was preserved to eat on Saturday.\u00a0 And when Portuguese Jews immigrated to England starting in the late 15th century, they brought their recipe for fried cod and haddock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, Thomas Jefferson, on a visit to London, referred to eating<strong> \u201cfried fish in the Jewish tradition\u201d<\/strong> and a British cookbook from 1781 has a recipe for \u201cthe Jews\u2019 way of preserving all sorts of fish.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How the chips part of the dish ended up marrying fried fish is a bit murkier. Food historians can trace the origin of chips, or the misnamed <em>French<\/em> fries, to Belgium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The first \u201cchippies\u201d emerged in England in the 1860s, and today, there are around 10,000 fish and chip shops in the United Kingdom<\/strong>.

Premium options \u2014 like skate, Dover sole, or halibut \u2014 can cost \u00a318\u2013\u00a325. Many restaurants also offer family meals or extras such as mushy peas, curry sauce, or drinks for a few pounds more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_the_best_time_to_visit_a_fish_and_chip_shop\"><\/span>When is the best time to visit a fish and chip shop?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While many London chippies are open for lunch and dinner, the peak hours are 12\u20132\u202fpm and 6\u20138\u202fpm, so expect queues at popular spots like Toff\u2019s or The Seashell. Some locations, especially in the East End, open early and stay open late, catering to early commuters and night owls looking for a hot takeaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_there_any_traditions_etiquette_when_eating_fish_and_chips\"><\/span>Are there any traditions\/ etiquette when eating fish and chips?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fish and chips are traditionally eaten with malt vinegar, salt, and sometimes mushy peas. It\u2019s often served in paper wrapping for takeaway or on plates if dining in. Ordering chips \u201csalted\u201d or \u201cmushy peas on the side\u201d is common; in some historic shops, black cabs or locals may give you a nod of approval if you eat it \u201cproperly\u201d with a fork and knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_to_reserve_a_table_at_popular_fish_and_chip_restaurants\"><\/span>Do I need to reserve a table at popular fish and chip restaurants?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most classic chippies don\u2019t take reservations and operate on a first-come, first-served basis, particularly smaller takeaways. However, larger establishments with dining areas,  like The Golden Hind or Mr. Fish, may accept table bookings, especially for evenings or weekends. For groups, calling ahead can save wait time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_there_gluten-free_or_vegan_fish_and_chips_options_in_London\"><\/span>Are there gluten-free or vegan fish and chips options in London?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many modern London chippies now cater to dietary preferences. Gluten-free batter is available at places like Brockley\u2019s Rock, and some restaurants offer vegan \u201cfish\u201d alternatives made from tofu, banana blossom, or battered vegetables. Vegan mushy peas and chips cooked in separate fryers are also increasingly common, making it possible for everyone to enjoy this classic dish without compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fish-and-chips-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A plate of golden fried fish with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, thick fries, and beer sits on a London pub table.\" class=\"wp-image-18212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fish-and-chips-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fish-and-chips-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fish-and-chips-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fish-and-chips-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fish-and-chips.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">For &#8220;posh&#8221; fish and chips, pair it with Tartare sauce instead of mushy peas!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why not check out more of London&#8217;s top culinary gems?  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to splurge on an upscale dining experience, check out our list of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/tasting-menu-london\">Best Tasting Menus in London<\/a> to experience the best of the city&#8217;s Michelin-starred restaurants.
