Brit & Chips 5.15

Fish n’ Chips is to England as apple pie is to America. For over a hundred years Fish n’ Chips has been the staple dish of the British people, an integral part of their identity.

In 1860, the first fish and chip shop was opened in London, deep-fried chips as a dish first appeared in Britain at about the same period. The modern fish-and-chip shop “CHIPPY” or “CHIPPER” in modern British slang originated in the United Kingdom. Fried-potato shops spreading south from Scotland merged with fried-fish shops spreading north from southern England and the Chip Shop was born. During World War II, fish and chips remained one of the few foods in the United Kingdom not subject to rationing. Because of this Fish and Chips became a Household staple.

Brit & Chips is located in Montreal, it’s goal is to capture the best aspects of a traditional chippy and add some of the local flavour and style that Montreal isl specifically known for. The menu was created by some of Montreal’s pre-eminent experts in English Cuisine after a tireless trek through England, hunting down different recipes and ideas from the most renowned English Fish n’ Chips shops.

The result is an amazing amalgamation of the best that Britain has to offer with a little Quebecois spice.
