History of Fish and Chips

History of Fish and Chips - Fish and Chips is a popular meal in both Australia and England. Although there are many opinions over who invented the meal, history shows it was an Englishman named Joseph Malin who first cooked fish and chips together back in 1860. The main reason for his invention was to provide a nice warm meal for people working at the factories during their shifts. At the time, most people could not afford a fancy meal and so chips were a good cheap alternative.


In England in 1860, most meals consisted of bread or vegetables. Malin decided to sell fish with fried potato strips for people working in the factories during their shifts. His invention was a hit and soon became popular throughout England. In the 1900s, when Australia was developing its own identity, it became one of the most popular meals.

In both countries families would eat fried fish with small fried chips at home on a Saturday night for a special meal. But in the 1920s and 1930s Fish and Chips were more commonly found in shops not homes because of a greater need for convenience. This is where the modern fish and chip shop has its roots.


Fish and Chips are usually served in a cardboard box or white paper bag with either salt and malt vinegar or tomato sauce. Many people enjoy eating Fish and Chips because they are tasty, easy to prepare, filling value for money for both young children students . The price of Fish and Chips varies between states but they are an affordable treat.


Over the years there have been many changes in how fish and chips is served and eaten. One major change is that most people don't cook them at home for a special meal any more; instead, they buy them from takeaways shops or fish and chip vans parked along the roadside. The most popular of these is the American-style fish burger, served in a bun with tartar sauce (a type of salad dressing) or tomato sauce (tomato ketchup).

Fish and chips are also sold at supermarkets frozen food sections which can be microwaved at home. This makes them easy to prepare especially for singles or people with young children who do not have time to cook a meal.
