“The chip shop I go to still serves fish and chips in a newspaper. Yesterday, I got a plaice in The Sun”

“Plaice” (a fish) shouldn’t be confused with “place,” but there are jokes.

A Place in the Sun is a 1951 American tragedy film.
 
“I only trust one thing in the newspaper these days: Fish & Chips. And even that I take with a big pinch of salt” is another fish and chips joke.
 
   
Wikipedia: Fish and chips
Fish and chips is a hot dish consisting of battered and fried fish, served with chips. Often considered the national dish of the United Kingdom, fish and chips originated in England in the 19th century. Today, the dish is a common takeaway food in numerous other countries, particularly English-speaking and Commonwealth nations.

British fish and chips were originally served in a wrapping of old newspapers but this practice has now largely ceased, with plain paper, cardboard, or plastic being used instead.
