Did you know that fried fish served with fried potatoes, also known as "chips," is a common delicacy in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, the Atlantic provinces of Canada, the islands of Hawaii, and across Australia and New Zealand? Japan has similar cuisine using tempura batter resulting in a lighter crisper texture.
It should come as no surprise that these are countries known for their extensive coastlines, rich marine life, and prominent fishing industries.
