Description:

In the bustling marketplace of 19th-century London's East End, young Joseph Malin loves his grandmother's fried fish, made from a treasured family recipe. Hoping to help his struggling immigrant Jewish family, he begins selling it to passers-by — and before long, crowds come from far and wide for the delicious snack. But success breeds rivalry: across the street, greengrocer Annette starts hawking her own family favourite, crispy Belgian-style fried potatoes, and soon the two are competing fiercely to out-sell each other. Then one day, disaster strikes — they collide, fish fly, chips slip, and something wonderful is born. This playful, warm-hearted picture book offers a fictional spin on the real Joseph Malin, often credited with opening the first fish-and-chip shop. Illustrated with high-energy artwork by Omer Hoffmann, it even includes a family fried-fish recipe.
