Answer:
Fish and chips are a traditional part of the British diet. People buy them in a 'chippy' - a fish and chip shop. There are chippies in every town across the country and they sell around 300 million portions of fish and chips every year. A chippy isn't always a carryout. Some have restaurants to eat in. But typically, you put salt and vinegar on your fish and chips, and eat them with your fingers in the street or take them home to eat.
Health experts want people in the UK to eat fish one or two times a week. It's low in fat and it's a source of protein and vitamins so it's good for you. But what about the fish in fish and chip shops? They sell the fish and the chips there, and that increases the fat.
However, a portion of fish and chips contains less fat than other popular carryout food in Britain, like pizza or chicken Tikka masala. So, it isn't a problem to have a portion of fish and chips.... occasionally!
