00:00 It's National Fish and Chip Day this week and we certainly don't need an excuse for
00:06 a chippy tea. YouGov says fish and chips is the number one most popular British dish but
00:11 opinion can be divided on what goes with the UK staple. A poll found perhaps unsurprisingly
00:17 salt and vinegar are the nation's favourite toppings with 80% having salt and 69% vinegar.
00:23 When it comes to sauces though the nation is divided. Overall we prefer shockingly mayonnaise
00:28 on our chips. 20% of people here in Bristol and across the South West favoured the sauce
00:33 closely followed by ketchup with 16% and gravy with just under 3%. While usually National
00:39 Fish and Chip Day is celebrated on a Friday as per tradition it's being brought forward
00:44 a day to coincide with the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Chippies have been in the news recently
00:49 as prices soared by a fifth amid rising costs for the industry. A plate will now set you
00:53 back on average around £9 per meal. This year to mark the special occasion we're being
00:58 asked to show our local chippies and chip shop owners that we appreciate all they do
01:02 to provide us with one of the nation's favourite takeaways.
