Top 5 things to love about Fish and Chips if you are from the Seaside!

1. THEY FEEL LIKE HOME

Simple - they feel like home. There's nothing like a plate full of deep fried golden batter to give you that sense of belonging - sad? Maybe. But I know you feel it too. Also can you ever get fish and chips like you can back 'home'? Didn't think so.

2. PROBLEM SOLVERS

Here we are met with the dreaded 'What Take-Away shall we get tonight scenario' Family arguments on a Friday night sound familiar.... Mum's not in the mood for a Chinese, We can't decide on a universal topping we all agree on for a pizza and of course Indian is off the cards because Dad can't hack his spicy food. Who can argue with the good ol F + C? Plus eat straight of the paper, save washing up, save water, save the planet.

3. ONE OF YOUR 5-A-DAY

Mushy peas.. need I say more?

Okay possibly a little more. Potatoes are a great source of Vitamin C and white fish is loaded with high content of protein, Vitamin B, selenium, iodine and has low concentration of fat. It is also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. GUILT FREE!

4. THEY ARE QUINTESSENTIALLY BRITISH

Fish and chips are a national treasure to us here in the UK. Britain without Fish and Chips is like Wallace without Gromit it just doesn't make sense!

5. THEY ARE HEAVENLY

If this isn't a reason in itself then I don't know what is.

Smother them in beans, curry, gravy or peas they work.

Chuck them all in a bread butty they work.

Stick them in a cone they work.

Enough said so HAPPY NATIONAL FISH AND CHIP DAY!
