"Nearby was a fied fish shop, and Joseph put some fried fish with his chips and walked the strets. He sold the fish and chips from a tray, which hung round his neck. It was a great success. Joseph opened a shop - the first fish and chip shop. Fish and chips became a favourite with many poor people. They were tasty, cheap, and quick. Charles Dickens, the famous Victorian novelist, wrote about ‘fried fish warehouses’ in his book Oliver Twist Listening Tl My favourite kind of meal However, there is a dispute about how the dish began.
