Battered but never beaten as Fish and Chip Day turns 10

Chippies nationwide taking part for popular event's tenth outing

- 

One of Britain's most cherished culinary traditions is celebrating a major milestone, as National Fish & Chip Day marks its 10th anniversary.

What began in 2015 as a modest campaign has since grown into the UK's biggest food awareness day, rallying support from fish and chip shops, celebrity chefs, fishermen, and sustainable food suppliers across the country.

Held every year on the first Friday of June, the event has evolved into a full-scale national celebration of an iconic dish that has long been a staple of British culture.

From deep-fried suppers on our nation's piers to paper-wrapped takeaways on rainy seaside benches, fish and chips hold a nostalgic place in the hearts, and stomachs, of the nation.
