Fish and chips is a popular dish that consists of battered and deep-fried fish served with crispy deep-fried potatoes. The dish is believed to have originated in the United Kingdom in the mid-19th century and has since become a staple in many countries around the world. The traditional fish used for fish and chips is cod, but other white fish such as haddock, plaice, and pollock can also be used. The chips, or French fries, are typically made from large, thickly cut potatoes that are first soaked in water to remove excess starch and then fried in hot oil until golden and crispy. The dish is often served with salt and vinegar, as well as accompaniments such as tartar sauce, ketchup, or mushy peas.
