Salty, bitter and very addictive

Fish and chips have long been a stock meal in the UK due to the rapid development of trawl fishing in the North Sea and development of railways connecting ports to cities during the second half of the nineteenth century.

During World War II fish and chips remained one of the few foods in the United Kingdom not subject to rationing.
Traditionally it has been regarded as a useful quick meal for those who eat fish on Friday.

In Edinburgh a combination of Gold Star brown sauce and water or malt vinegar, known either simply as "sauce", or more specifically as "chippy sauce", is very popular as it is salty, bitter and very addictive.
