💡 What's interesting

Culturally, the fish sandwich is a descendant of the British fish and chips tradition, adapted into a handheld format for convenience. Nutritionally, while often seen as indulgent, it can be a source of beneficial omega-3s if the fish is of good quality, though the frying method adds significant fat.
