A largely forgotten chip shop menu item was once hugely popular but only with people who lived in a certain part of Liverpool.
The chippy treat in question was called 'fish toast' and is thought to have originated in one specific chip shop in the city. There are recipes online that offer a variety of different ingredients and methods for creating fish toast, but the original recipe in Liverpool is thought to have been popularised by Lings chip shop in L8.
The recipe for the forgotten treat is perhaps similar to both prawn toast and the old fish cakes you used to get (renamed savoury cakes). Although the exact original recipe isn't known, fish toast was similar to a fish cake but with a bread base.
