What's your perfect plate of fish and chips? Is it smothered in a rich curry sauce, a generous splash of vinegar, or a classic serving of mushy peas? However you enjoy this iconic British meal, the right sides and sauces are what make it truly your own. To celebrate National Fish & Chips Day, we've put together a guide to the perfect pairings that turn a simple supper into a proper occasion.
Harry Ramsden’s Mushy Peas
No fish and chips are complete without mushy peas. Harry Ramsden’s have been serving chip shop favourites since 1928, and these peas are low in fat, count as 1 of your 5 a day, and are vegetarian-friendly too.
Tiptree Tomato Ketchup
Ketchup is a must with chips, and Tiptree’s recipe is made with the finest Mediterranean plum tomatoes. Packed into handy portion pots, they’re ideal for pubs, cafés, or picnics.
Goldfish Hot & Spicy Curry Sauce
Curry sauce and chips are a chip shop favourite, and this blend brings a warming kick without being too hot. It has a rich, full-bodied flavour that’s perfect for serving at home or on catering menus.
Opies Extra Large Gherkins
These gherkins are crisp, tangy, and full of crunch, making them a refreshing side to balance the richness of fried fish. They can be enjoyed whole, sliced into sandwiches, or diced into relishes.
Driver’s Chip Shop Style Pickled Onions
Pickled onions bring a bold, tangy bite that pairs perfectly with fish and chips. Driver’s have been making them the traditional way for generations, steeping onions in vinegar brine for maximum flavour.
Hellmann’s Gluten Free Tomato Ketchup Portions
You can’t go wrong with Hellmann’s ketchup. Available in single-serving sachets, it has that rich tomato flavour everyone loves. They’re gluten free and easy to serve, making them a simple, inclusive choice whether you’re serving a crowd or just your family.
However You Serve It…
National Fish & Chips Day is all about celebrating a true UK tradition. Whether you’re serving for a family dinner, a picnic, or in a busy kitchen, the perfect pairings make all the difference. Make sure your fish and chips are served with something extra special.
