    They go together really well, and a piece of fried fried cod or pollock feels lonely without some chips to sop up the excess fishy flavor. The oily flavor of the fish is spread further by the crispy absorbent starch of the chips. They are almost always paired together in the UK and elsewhere because they are very complementary. Beans and toast are similarly popular in the UK as a dish, but haven’t been adopted more broadly. You’re entitled to your somewhat esoteric and clearly strong opinion. Please contribute to the respective wiki entries for “fish” and “chips” with these points and see how they are received.
