Fish and chip shop

A blue plaque at Oldham's Tommyfield Market in England marks the 1860s origin of the fish and chip shop and fast food industries.

Many British villages, suburbs, towns and cities have fish and chip shops, especially near coastal regions.

[7] The Italian chip shop tradition began with Giuseppe Cervi, who took a boat to America in the 1880s but instead disembarked at Queenstown (modern-day Cobh in County Cork) and walked to Dublin, establishing a takeaway at 22 Great Brunswick Street (modern-day Pearse Street).

A number of fish and chip shop condiments exist, including salt and vinegar (very often actually non-brewed condiment) across the UK, mushy peas and curry sauce in various parts of the UK, chip spice in Hull,[13] Hendersons Relish in Sheffield, chippy sauce in Edinburgh,[14] gravy across much of the UK, mushy pea and mint sauce in Nottingham and Derby, and gravy and cheese in Yorkshire.

In Canada, most shops offer malt vinegar or the option to add gravy, usually for a small charge.

Burgers, pies, pasties, pizzas, sausages, kebabs and chicken (all of which may or may not be served or bought with chips) are all regular menu items in many outlets.
