Fish and chips are synonymous with the UK, traditionally a mainstay of the British working-class diet and even used as “code” for sussing out compatriot troops on the beaches of Normandy.  Despite its rebranding as distinctly British fare, fried fish was originally introduced to the UK by persecuted immigrant populations.  Anglophile and former UK resident Claire Evans looks at what lies beneath a nostalgic national dish’s contentious international history: from secret fishing grounds, Cod Wars, and overfishing to the difficulty of selling fish in today’s political landscape.  Learn how to make sure your fish and chips are sustainably sourced, and how to navigate and appreciate the highlights of a modern “chippy” menu in this virtual presentation.
