We may be far from the sea but there is no dearth of great Fish and Chip shops in and around Birmingham. The city even has one of the biggest fish markets in the country - the Bull Ring Indoor Market.
This popular dish is loved by people of all ages, which makes it perfect for a Friday night meal with the family. Whether you prefer curry sauce, mushy peas, extra salt or vinegar, peri peri spice - there’s a lot of ways to eat this humble but versatile dish.
You can also get it delivered instead of visiting your local chippy or get it freshly prepared after a night out on Broad Street - it can be eaten for dinner or for late night munchies after partying.
