why? just like in the porn biz niches work in the restaurant biz - if you're in any city over 50,000 people you're competing with 10 national and regional hamburger chains and god knows how many independent burger joints. Fish n' Chips you may have one or two competitors - might even be lucky and have no competitors. Best to do some research and see if ethnic food joints do well in the place you're considering setting up biz.
the only big fish n' chips fast food chain i've ever seen were Arthur Treacher's - they went outta biz many moons ago when I was a kid I think.
you should open a restaurant! you have a passion for food and cooking.
Fish n' chips wouldn't be at the top of the list if i was going to open a fast food joint.
If I were in a country like Bulgaria which is relatively new to fast food I'd stick with the most popular ones, pizza, burgers and mexican - and just make better food than the big conglomerates.
i'd go with Chinese before fish n' chips.
if i had a couple million to piss away i'd do a fast food restaurant themed on state fairs - All American junk food - burgers, hot dogs, pogo pops, pies, candy apples, candy floss, fries - and put in a bunch of the games from the midway. nostalgic - but different than the many restaurants that are retro American diner theme.
