Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Harry Ramsden’s fast food restaurant chain opened its first fish and chip shop in Guiseley, West Yorkshire in 1928. On a single day in 1952, the shop served 10, 000 portions of fish and chips, earning a place in the Guinness Book of Records. British fast food had considerable regional variation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Many food historians say that a Jewish cook, a young Ashkenezi immigrant named Joseph Malin, opened the first chippy in 1860 in London. The shop was so successful that it remained in business until the 1970s. And up near Manchester, the fish and chip stand opened by John Lees was doing a brisk business by 1863.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both Lancashire and London stake a claim to being the first to invent this famous meal – chips were a cheap, staple food of the industrial north whilst fried fish was introduced in London’s East End.

Detailed explanation-4: -Some argue that the first fish and chip shop was in fact opened in the North of England, but according to experts, it’s likely the popular dish originated from our capital.
