Endangered because there are fewer and fewer quintessentially British customers.

“Endangered because there are fewer and fewer quintessentially British customers.”

True, no more economics of scale for ‘White food’. The remaining Brits better learn to enjoy Halal, as that will pretty much be their diet soon.

Refugees and immigrants brought fried fish to the British isles. Fried fish was brought to the UK by Spanish and Portuguese refugees during the 16th century. At the time, Jews were facing religious persecution across Portugal and Spain and many resettled here in the UK, bringing their delicacies with them.

A few years back I was at a local family restaurant here in Texas. I ordered Fish and Chips. It came with two sides and so I ordered whatever sides, can’t remember.

But when the Fish and Chips came - there were no chips. I asked the waitress - Where’s my chips?

She said “Fries? You didn’t order fries. You ordered these sides.” I couldn’t believe I had to explain what Fish and Chips were. But I did. And she brought out an order of chips. She probably thought I was getting away with three sides. I thought - don’t put something on the menu if you don’t know what that is.

The article says the reason is high prices, not low demand due to fewer and fewer quintessentially British customers.
