A Brazilian chef has reportedly won the rights to sell fish and chips to England fans, who will travel 5,000 miles to cheer Roy Hodgson's squad to World Cup glory.

The chef will sell fish and chips to England's fans at the stadium where Hodgson's side will play their first fixture against Italy, so that they are treated to a taste from back home when the tournament kicks off.

According to Metro.co.uk, Mario Freitas Do Valle will even treat England fans to Scotland's favourite delicacy fried Mars bars, and is also convinced that fans will love his fish suppers although they will taste a little different.

Do Valle reportedly uses an Amazonian fish named tambaqui, instead of cold or haddock to make his fish suppers taste a little different from the ones sold in England.

The chef, who runs a fish restaurant in the city of Manaus, where England will play one game in June, said that he has had lines of people out of the door coming to try the fish which his restaurant serves and is expecting that 4,000 fans will eat them at every game during the FIFA World Cup.
