FISH and chip shops across the nation have rallied against calls by barmy animal rights activists to ban one of Britain's favourite dishes.
Vegetarian group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has traditionally campaigned against people wearing fur coats or the killing of farmyard animals.
Now it wants fish suppers taken off the menu because it says the tasty underwater creatures are "intelligent" and feel pain when caught.
PETA's Dawn Carr said: "We are not pulling any punches on this one.
"We don't think people should eat fish at all - and if that means they do not eat fish and chips then so be it.
