Chips are definitely a thing in the UK. Like French fries but usually chunkier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_and_chips
If you are lucky, you get triple-fried chips. Which are just as good/bad as they sound.
The chunkier fries are akin to what the US calls steak fries and are very common in the US as well.
What Americans call chips (potato or corn) the UK typically calls crisps.
Which is called Fish and Chips in Canada, even though it's served with fries.
