Fish and chip shops had a lasting social impact on the port town, said Gaynor Western
The role played by fish and chips in enabling women to run their own businesses is being explored in an exhibition.
Organisers have delved into an archive held by True's Yard Fisherfolk Museum, King's Lynn, and highlighted the role the shops played in society during their early years at the end of the 19th Century.
Gaynor Western, deputy manager of the museum in Norfolk, said many were set up as a supplementary income.
"Some shops even provided opening hours to suit their most popular and female customers’ domestic timetables," she said.
