But the most traditional British takeaway meal is fried fish and potatoes, the famous 'fish and chips'.There are about 11,000 fish and chip shops, or 'chippies', in the UK. The shops serve about 250 million portions of fish and chips every year. And to make those meals they use 60,000 tonnes of fish and 500,000 tonnes of potatoes. Many fish and chip shops serve other types of fast food too, like chicken, sausages or hot dogs. There's something for everyone!
