Every year, fish and chip shops serve an estimated 380 million meals across the UK. And this year, millions of Brits will be heading to the seaside and enjoying a portion of the British classic.
Suomikasinot, a casino comparison portal, analysed the number of fish and chip shops in each local authority and calculated the number of establishments per 100,000 residents to determine where has the highest density of this British culinary institution. Markku Kanerva, a spokesperson for Suomikasinot, said, “Fish and chip shops continue to be a cornerstone of community life throughout the UK. However, this rich heritage is under threat, with almost half of UK chippies at risk of closing. We’re seeing traditional chip shops facing unprecedented challenges. With 62% of these businesses being family-run, each closure represents not just an economic loss, but the end of skills and traditions passed down through generations. If we don’t support our local chip shops now, we risk losing a beloved part of British culture that has brought communities together for centuries.”
