The first fish and chip shop in Ireland was set up by a man from Valle di Comino named Giuseppe Cervi in Great Brunswick Street (now Pearse Street), Dublin in 1885. The Irish fish and chip industry is dominated by an Irish-Italian community who are all descended from Valle di Comino natives. Among the family names are Borza, Magliocco, Fusco, Fusciardi, De Vito, Coppola, Macari and Cervi. Although the earliest immigrants came at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the main body came to Ireland during the years immediately after the Second World War. The 25th of May is designated Irish National Fish and Chips Day. Other families to be involved in the Fish and Chip's industry in Ireland come from neighboring area's in Frosinone such as Atina, Villa Latina, Cassino, Casalvieri and Casalattico among the family names are Orlandi, Cafolla and Rocca.
