Birmingham may be far from the sea but there is no shortage of great fish and chip shops in the city. And, what better day to celebrate the local chippies than on National Fish and Chips day.
Today (Friday, June 2 ) one of the iconic British meals is being cheered across country, for the eighth year. It is a celebration of those involved in creating the dish - Fish & Chip shops, pub chains, restaurants, retailers, to the fishermen and farmers.
A packet may not be as cheap as it used to be with the cost of living crisis among us, and some chippies have had to close too. But let’s take a look at the chip shops in and around Birmingham that are still going strong.
