National Fish and Chip Day

The National Fish & Chip Day takes place on June 6. As this is during the TT Break, all schools in the Isle of Man will have 'Fish and Chips' as the meal of the day on Tuesday 28 May instead.

Fish and chips are often considered the British national dish and this humble meal was a vital ingredient of the war effort in both the First and Second World Wars. The British Government safeguarded the supply of fish and potatoes during both world wars to ensure the dish remained a boost to morale and these foods were among the few not to be subject to rationing during both world wars.
