Fish and chips (sometimes written "fish 'n' chips") is a popular take-away food which originated in the United Kingdom. It consists of deep-fried fish (traditionally cod, haddock, or flounder) in batter or breadcrumbs with deep-fried chipped (slab-cut) potatoes. Popular tradition associates the dish with the United Kingdom; and fish and chips remains very popular in the United Kingdom and in areas colonised by people from the UK in the 19th century, such as Australia, New Zealand, and parts of North America (New England, the Pacific Northwest and Canada generally). Fish and chips also have considerable popularity in the Republic of Ireland, and South Africa. Establishments in Denmark and in some coastal towns in Norway serve fried fillets. In the Netherlands, the popular deep-fried, battered fillet dish called lekkerbek sometimes appears served with chips. The British usually serve thicker slabs of potato than the "french fries" popularised by major multinational hamburger chains. In their homes or in non-chain restaurants, people in or from the may eat a thicker type of chip, called "home fries" or "steak fries". Despite the differences in terminology, the combination of strips of potato flesh served hot with fish still has the name "fish and chips" in most restaurants which serve the dish, but a few restaurants will offer "crisps" instead of "fries" when a consumer orders "fish and chips".
