Created by the National Edible Oil Distributors’ Association (NEODA), the biggest day in the fish & chip calendar – National Fish & Chip Day – has returned for it’s tenth year in 2025.
In 2024, the event was held a day early to celebrate D-Day 80.
A spokesperson for Arun District Council said: “Today (Friday, June 6) we mark 10 years of National Fish and Chip Day – a which is celebrated annually to recognise and appreciate this iconic British dish.
“It is in no doubt that fish and chips are 'the' national dish of Great Britain – a meal recognised as British all over the world.
“This day acknowledges the contributions of fishers, farmers, fish and chip shop owners, restaurants, and home chefs, all of whom play a role in bringing this dish to the nation.
“The popularity of fish and chips lies in its simplicity and quality. Freshly caught fish, coated in a light, golden batter and fried to perfection, paired fluffy chips, has a universal appeal that transcends generations. Add to that the traditional sides-mushy peas and the much-loved crunchy bits of batter, (scraps or bits - what do you call them?) and it's easy to see why this dish has remained a firm favourite for so long
“This day serves as a reminder of the importance of supporting local businesses and the role they play in bringing communities together. So let's celebrate and support our local chippy!”
