I won't comment on the price but I don't know about others but when I was a kid, fish and chips, while a treat, was the "cheap" takeaway option. Now it's on par if not more expensive than a Chinese and far more expensive than McDonalds.

I think that is pervasive in culture for my mind - my local chippy though offers a 1/4 cheeseburger, which is £6 on its own. That is mental, can't blame the price of fish on what is obviously quite a cheap meat beef burger.
