Fish is the traditional dish for many Brits on Good Friday, and a chippy is the place lots choose to go rather than cooking on a national holiday.
With that in mind, we’ve looked at some of the highest-rated venues in Aylesbury.
Avoiding eating the meat of warm-blooded animals as a ritual on Good Friday was established by Roman Catholics in penance for the death of Jesus.
Two thousand years ago fish was seen as an everyday food source, while eating meat was a rare treat often linked to sacrifice and celebration.
A doctrine was set out in the Vatican stating fish should be eaten on the day Jesus was crucified.
Here’s a look at some of the restaurants renowned for the quality of their fish and chips that Aylesbury residents can enjoy if they want to participate in the tradition.
