Fish and chips, that a classic British dish, is a popular takeaway food in the UK with local media reporting that somewhere in the region of 250 million portions are served up annually. Before the war in the Middle East, Captain Peter Bruce spent £5,000 on diesel to bring back haddock and cod from The North Sea, which were served in fish and chips shops in British restaurants and supermarkets, a sure success at Easter. "It cost us 10,000 pounds on our last trip," he told AFP, adding that he had already started slowing down his ship to try to save fuel. (Photo by LEON NEAL / AFP via Getty Images)
