If you’re looking for an excuse to treat yourself, tomorrow (June 6) is National Fish & Chip Day.
The celebratory day has been running for nine years, and this year it’s been moved to coincide with the D-Day anniversary.
Gary Lewis, President of NEODA, founder of National Fish and Chip Day, explained: “National Fish & Chip Day has always brought the nation together to celebrate this iconic dish, and because of the instrinsic links it has always had with the World Wars and D-Day, we decided to move the date to show our support.”
