Fish supper is the standard Scottish term for fish and chips — battered deep-fried fish served with chips from a chip shop. In Scotland, 'supper' appended to a food item signals it comes with chips: a sausage supper, a haggis supper, a fish supper. Deeply embedded in Scottish food culture, with strong nostalgic and comfort-food associations. Getting a fish supper on a Friday evening is a near-universal childhood memory in Scotland.
After the match they all piled into the chippy and came out with fish suppers wrapped in paper, steam rising into the cold air.
