We're not advising that everyone heads to the chipper for dinner seven nights a week but as with all healthy diets, everything in moderation. National Fish & Chips Day only comes around once a year, thankfully seeing as we're a nation who really needs to watch what we're eating given recent obesity figures.
To celebrate the seventh National Fish and Chips Day the Irish Traditional Italian Chippers Association (ITICA) are offering customers half price fish and chips.
"We look forward to ITICA National Fish & Chips Day every year,” said Peter Borza, chairman, ITICA.
“It is a hectic but fun-filled day that gives us the opportunity to celebrate over 130 years of the ‘one and one’ and most importantly to thank our local communities for their ongoing support.
“We established ITICA back in January 2010 to highlight the heritage behind the Irish Italian chippers in Ireland, and emphasise what makes our family run chippers unique.
"The response each ITICA National Fish & Chips Day over the past number of years has been amazing and we hope that everyone will join in again this year.”
