Fish and Chips it is, but why is it always cloudy in the UK?

Previously I have mentioned Chips before in my post, that concluded the Chips/French fries was indeed from Belgium, and then fried fish introduced, but really I don't really know how it all started, but with my laziness and a little will power, I've gathered the most and easiest article to processed and then pour it here into my own version, heck, that's what I've been doing all these time (*´?`*) , enough with my pity foreword. Lets jump right in, but really, this was rather too short to be rewritten for I decide to write it as it is, with little bit of my touch of course lol.

So? How is it became the Brits most favourable snacks, at least that's what I think :P

The Fish and Chips, consist of battered fish usually cod or a haddock where these fish were very common and chips, the describing was easy, but do we really know what it is? apparently its not that complicated, but yeah it was like a 10 decade ago, Fried fish arrived in the British isles thanks to Jewish immigrants from Spain and Portugal. The question remains however whose idea it was to serve the fried fish dish with its trademark chips,

Well its all started with rather a humble beginning, exactly in 1860, on the streets of the East End of London, 13-year-old Jewish boy called Joseph Malin, had the bright idea of combining fried fish with chips, I mean the Jewish it is known for creating a bright ideas, the Malin's family was already selling fried fish, thus by adding this chips was like significantly boost the trade value. Well it was a success, flourishing business it is until 1970.

Lots of other immigrants who happens to be most the Malin's customer, once there's a Italian who stumbled upon the huge lines of people queuing impatiently to buy this new combo, they then decided to to take the pioneering idea with them onto their final destinations.

But in the another side of the story, our well known Italian immigrants who also introduced this marvel, was Giuseppe Cervi, where he left home for the search of the American Dream, but for some mishaps he didn't succeeded to do so, but things doesn't turned out so bad for him, for he then settled in Dublin and begin selling the fish with roasted chestnuts with a cart, he thought it was a good idea, but it was a no go with the locals.. But then he fried potato, it was a major success, where he then setup his little mobile cart day and night strategically outside pubs where the local revellers couldn't resist the smell and taste of what happens to be the original pub grub. Success was fast in coming and he was able to setup a permanent chip shop in what now is Pearse Street.

Until then, continues to the Industrial Revolution across the Britain and Ireland where mostly workers are the ones who mostly enjoys these tasty Fish and Chips, wrapped in newspaper, nothing can described how grateful they might be with these pioneer ideas. Fast forward to modern times, nothing is changed, like how simple yet so much going on behind it, but sadly.. I never tasted one my self (T?T)
