The King of Fish and Chips dives into the world of fast food through the lens of Haddon Salt’s ascent in the 1960s. It’s less about flashy production and more about the gritty, genuine atmosphere of a time when fish and chips were the heart of British cuisine. There’s this nostalgic pacing, almost like a leisurely stroll down a seaside pier, while Salt’s journey unfolds. The film captures not just the rise of a business but the cultural impact of fish and chips facing competition from giants like Kentucky Fried Chicken. It’s a story of perseverance, local pride, and the changing tides of culinary preferences. Practical effects? Well, it’s all about real people, real stories—no CGI here. It’s raw and real, a slice of history worth examining.
