The National Fish and Chip Day came into focus when the economy and industry took hold. The late 1800s was the period when trawl fishing began to conquer the industry in the North Sea. This results in an abundant availability of fresh fish in other areas, especially in major cities. Everyone began to know that the easily available fish food could be a major breakthrough for their business. The cheap, high-caloric, and tasty fish food became a great foundation for the working class. The Fish and Chippers, popularly known as ‘Chippers,’ started ruling the streets.
