Fish and chips is a popular dish consisting of battered fish, usually cod or haddock, and deep-fried chips. It is a common take-away food in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and other English-speaking countries. The dish originated in England in the 1860s and has become popular around the world. The fish is usually dipped in a batter made from wheat flour and water or milk, and then deep-fried until golden brown. The chips are usually thick cut potatoes that are deep-fried until golden brown. Fish and chips are traditionally served with malt vinegar, salt, and ketchup or tartar sauce.
