Well......a Fish Supper is notjust a FISH SUPPER.
Back in the "good old days, if one had a "cert" a hot date, someone really special 5hen one would treat her to a Fish Supper. All fish and chip shops or many had little cafes attached where you could have yourfish and chips sitting down,bread and butter and a cup of tea.
That was and is a Fish Supper.

// I have only ever heard folk from 'oop norf' use that term - Scots and Geordies mainly //
Point of order. Folk from the north of England don't generally pronounce 'up' as 'oop'. It's more like the 'u' in 'cushion'. Nor do we say 'norf'. That's mainly said darn sarf innit?

Anyway, came here to agree with Sqad that 'fish supper' refers to fish and chips from the fish and chip shop/cafe.
