Prepare to crave some fish and chips….now.
Fish and chips were first served together as a dish around 1860 - although their origin is contested.
In London, the Malin family claims to be first, as do the Lee family in Manchester.

Fish and chips were served in newspaper until the 1980s.
Serving fish and chips in newspaper kept prices low, but in the 1980s it was ruled unsafe for food to be touching newspaper ink. Now fish and chips are wrapped in a layer of greaseproof paper, and then a layer of newspaper if wished.
