Harry Ramsden's is offering the bargain deal at its Brighton branch, exclusive for takeaway orders.
The offer is part of its "grand re-opening" but customers will have to be quick.
The promotion also marks the launch of their new, "heritage-inspired" menu.
On July 19, at midday, the seafront shop will be serving its "world-famous" fish and chips at the throwback price of 7p.
This deal is takeaway only, with just one portion per person, and a total of 500 portions available.
According to the restaurant, 7p represents the original price for a portion of fish and chips when Harry Ramsden opened his first takeaway in Guiseley, West Yorkshire, in 1928.
In an Instagram post on July 14, Harry Ramsden's said: "We're bringing the golden age of fish and chips to Brighton.
"To celebrate our grand re-opening after a beautiful renovation, and the launch of our brand new, heritage-inspired menu, we're putting the clocks back to where it all began … 1928.
"Join us from midday this Saturday as we serve up our world famous fish and chips for just 7p a portion. Yes, really!
"We're bringing back the original beef dripping recipe that made Harry Ramsden a legend, at the original price."

The post also announced fun activities for those dining in, including a spin-to-win wheel with prizes such as free cocktails, half-price mains, and free desserts.
The popular chain took over the prominent Brighton premises near to the Palace Pier in 2000.
The restaurant closed for almost two weeks in May for renovations that included the installation of several new signs outside the building.
Permission for these external renovations was granted by Brighton and Hove City Council on June 30.
The new exterior is a slightly darker red than before, with white lines now running around the building above the windows.
The main three-storey part of the building is a remodelling of the original Victorian buildings on the site, with facades dating from between 1922 and the late 1930s.

M&S handed mobile ad ban after using 'unhealthily thin' model
An advert by Marks & Spencer has been banned because of the model's appearance (Image: PA) A Marks and Spencer advert has been banned after the featured model was judged to be "unhealthily thin". The UK's advertising watchdog has ruled that it was "irresponsible" for M&S to use the image in question to promote its clothing on its mobile app. The Advertising Standards Authority criticised the ad, stating that the model, dressed in slim-fit trousers and a white top, "appeared thin and she wore large pointed shoes which emphasised the slenderness of her legs". The ASA's decision also noted that the camera angles made the model's head seem disproportionate and "highlighted her small frame". The ASA concluded: "Therefore, we considered that the pose of the model and the choice of clothing meant the ad gave the impression that the model was unhealthily thin". The company is still recovering from a damaging cyber attack (Image: PA) In response to the ban, Marks and Spencer expressed regret for any upset caused and promptly withdrew the image. A spokesperson for the company commented: "Our womenswear sizing ranges from size 8 to 24 and we always want to reflect that in our advertising." They continued: "The product images on our website feature models of varying sizes so we can appeal to all our customers, however following the ASA guidance, we have removed this particular image from our website and apologise for any offence caused." While three additional images were brought to the attention of the ASA by concerned consumers, the authority did not find these to be in violation, thus no further action against the retailer was taken. It comes as four people have been arrested by police investigating the M&S, Co-op and Harrods cyber attacks. The arrests include three teenagers - a 17-year-old British man from the West Midlands, a 19-year-old Latvian man from the West Midlands, a 19-year-old British man from London - and a 20-year-old British woman from Staffordshire. The individuals were detained on suspicion of blackmail, money laundering, offences linked to the Computer Misuse Act and participating in the activities of an organised crime group. All four people remain in custody. Paul Foster, head of the NCA's National Cyber Crime Unit, said: 'Since these attacks took place, specialist NCA cybercrime investigators have been working at pace and the investigation remains one of the agency's highest priorities. 'Today's arrests are a significant step in that investigation but our work continues, alongside partners in the UK and overseas, to ensure those responsible are identified and brought to justice.' M&S was forced to shut down its online store following the cyber attack, which happened during Easter weekend and affected contactless payments in stores, as well as click and collect orders. It was later confirmed that customer data, including names, email addresses, addresses and dates of birth - but it does not include card or payment details, was stolen. The boss of M&S last week issued an update, and said the rest of its online operations will reopen by next month. The supermarket started resuming online orders in June but some services are still not back to normal. For example, you still cannot place an order for click and collect or next day delivery. M&S is also still is not delivering to Northern Ireland. Stuart Machin, CEO of M&S, expects these services to be fully restored from August. Speaking to shareholders at the retailer's annual general meeting, he said: "Since these attacks took place, specialist NCA cybercrime investigators have been working at pace and the investigation remains one of the Agency's highest priorities.

UK steps up scrutiny of Apple and Google over mobile platforms
LONDON, July 23 (Reuters) - Britain on Wednesday told Apple and Google to be fairer in how they distribute apps on their mobile platforms, setting out possible interventions as it plans to designate the U.S. tech companies with strategic market status over their duopoly. The country's competition regulator, which was given a wider remit this year to take on Big Tech, laid out concerns relating to inconsistent and unpredictable app review processes, inconsistent app store search rankings, and up to 30% commission on some in-app purchases. Apple and Google's mobile platforms hold an "effective duopoly", with around 90-100% of UK mobile devices running on their mobile platforms, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said in a statement. "Apple and Google's mobile platforms are both critical to the UK economy ... but our investigation so far has identified opportunities for more innovation and choice," CMA head Sarah Cardell said. She said the CMA's "targeted and proportionate" actions would support British app developers - who contribute an estimated 1.5% to the country's economy - to innovate. Interventions could require the companies to make their app store review and ranking processes fairer and more transparent, including fair warnings of changes to the process or guidelines and appropriate channels for businesses to raise concerns. Apple and Google pushed back against the CMA's proposals, with Google calling the step "disappointing and unwarranted." "It is ... crucial that any new regulation is evidence-based, proportionate and does not become a roadblock to growth in the UK," Google's senior director for competition, Oliver Bethell, said. Apple said it was concerned that the new rules being considered would undermine the privacy and security protections expected by its users. In contrast, "Fortnite" maker Epic Games, which stands to benefit from a more open mobile ecosystem, said the regulator had not gone far enough. It said the CMA, which gained more global prominence as a regulator following Brexit, had "deprioritised store competition entirely" by pushing it to be considered in 2026, calling it a "missed opportunity." The company, which has launched its own marketplace app in Europe, said it could not bring its app store to Apple's mobile operating system (iOS) in Britain this year and said that Fortnite's return to Apple's iOS was also uncertain. The regulator is also under pressure from Britain's Labour government, which has called on regulators to prioritise growth in hopes of rejuvenating a stagnant economy to regain voter confidence. A final decision on both the designations will be made by October 22, the CMA said. It also published roadmaps on potential further action as part of these parallel investigations. A strategic market status designation allows the CMA to impose interventions on a company, such as requiring it to adhere to specific behaviour so as not to undermine fair competition. For Alphabet-owned Google, mobile platforms are the second market where it has come in for closer scrutiny under the CMA's new regime, following the watchdog's proposal last month to designate Google in general search and search advertising.

UK facing ‘very significant' volume of cyber attacks, security minister warns
Dan Jarvis said new measures send a signal to cyber criminals that ransom demands will not be tolerated. Proposals from the Home Office would ban public sector bodies and operators of critical national infrastructure from paying hackers. It would also mean private sector companies not covered by the ban would be required to notify the Government if they intended to pay a ransom. 'The UK is not alone in this regard, along with our international allies, we are subjected to a very significant number of cyber attacks every year,' Mr Jarvis told the PA news agency. 'But from a UK Government perspective we are crystal clear that these attacks are completely unacceptable. 'There's more that we need to do to guard against them and that's why we're introducing these measures.' Mr Jarvis said the measures mean cyber criminals will be 'less incentivised' to target UK institutions because of the clarity the ban on ransom payments brings. 'We think these proposals will provide a powerful deterrent, and what we're wanting to do is break the business model of the cyber criminals who think that they can get away with extorting money from UK-based institutions,' he told PA. He stressed the Government would ensure 'cyber criminals, whether they're in Russia or wherever they might be, face the full weight of the UK law'. Ransomware refers to software used by cyber criminals to access the computer systems of its victims, which can then be encrypted or data stolen until a ransom is paid. It comes after four young people were arrested for their suspected involvement in damaging cyber attacks against Marks & Spencer, the Co-op and Harrods in recent months. Microsoft also said on Tuesday night that Chinese hackers had breached its SharePoint document software servers in a bid to target major corporations and government agencies. Furthermore, under the proposals, a mandatory reporting regime would mean companies and institutions that are targeted by ransomware attacks are required to report it. Mr Jarvis said the Government was going to 'look very carefully at the precise details' of the regime but that it would provide more clarity and intelligence to government agencies. M&S chairman Archie Norman told MPs earlier this month that UK businesses should be legally required to report major cyber attacks as he claimed two recent hacks involving 'large British companies' had gone unreported. Mr Norman said the retailer believed an Asia-based ransomware operation, DragonForce, had been involved in the attack – but refused to say whether or not a ransom was paid.
