If you have had a very great opportunity to visit the good ole England, you might have experienced things that are alien to you. Apart from going to London to look at the Queen, visit the Big Ben, get yourself lost to Piccadilly Circus, and cross the Abbey Road, you might have also noticed that some pubs and restaurants actually offer you something that is not common to you but very common to English People - Fish and Chips. Fish and Chips is a very known English dish that consists of battered and fried fish and a bowl of potato fries (chips in England). But since this is somehow new to you, you ask yourself is it a healthy idea to get an order. Many people are quite hesitant about getting an order because it looks really fatty. Plus the traditional way of serving fish and chips is very greasy - this will make you become hesitant about it. So, is fish and chips good for you?
The answer? Yes, according to a new survey that displays that one meal contains only half the fat of what was originally thought of. The Seafish Industry Authority of England initiated the study and they found out that a good portion of battered take-away Cod (the fish used in Fish and Chips most of the time) only has 9.8g fat per 100gm with chips from any local restaurants. And some even only have 8.2g per 100g if they are cooked under perfect conditions. Apart from that, fish contains a good amount of iodine and some other minerals needed for the body and chips can give you your daily source of potassium.
So is fish and chips good for you? YES, but of course you need to eat moderately. So the next time you come across the same dish, just grab one and enjoy it like the English people do, mate!
