What is fish and cips?

Fish and chips is a popular dish in the United Kingdom and many other countries around the world. It typically consists of deep-fried fish (typically cod, haddock, or plaice) and thick-cut potatoes that are usually fried in the same oil as the fish. The dish is often served with salt and vinegar, and sometimes with a side of mushy peas.

Fish is a great source of protein and other essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for brain function and heart health. Eating fish regularly has been linked to a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer.

However, some types of fish can contain high levels of mercury or other contaminants, which can be harmful to health if consumed in large quantities. It is generally safe to eat fish and chips in moderation as part of a balanced diet, but it is important to choose fish that is sustainably sourced and to follow recommended guidelines for consumption.
