Fish and chips may seem like a simple meal, but it has a long history and has been a favorite comfort food for generations. The classic combination of flaky white fish coated in a crispy batter and served with hot, golden fries became popular in England during the 1800s.

As the dish grew in popularity, fish and chip shops popped up in towns and cities across the country, offering an affordable, filling meal for working families.

 

 

Today, fish and chips are enjoyed all over the world, including here in New Jersey. Whether you're grabbing a basket at a Jersey Shore seafood restaurant, a local pub, or a neighborhood seafood market, it's one of those meals that never seems to go out of style.

 

Add a little malt vinegar, tartar sauce, or a squeeze of fresh lemon, and you've got a classic that's been making people happy for well over a century. I personally love malt vinegar with my fish and chips.
