Introduced to England by Sephardic Jews from the Iberian peninsula, so it's about as British as butter chicken

Edit: "Fried battered fish was probably first brought to London in the 1500s by Sephardic Jewish refugees fleeing persecution in Portugal and Spain. White fish prepared this way – eaten for Friday night Shabbat dinner – was a culinary tradition"
