Andrey's notebook entry: Jul 24, 2010 Help me translate this phrase correctly. "I mean at end of the day fish and chips is just a deep fried white fish in a crisp golden batter served with potatoes". What does it mean here "at end of the day"? It's literarally meaning or figuratively meaning?

Thanks!

"At the end of the day" can be interpreted two ways - both literally and figurately. In this sentence, the meaning is figurative. Literally - obviously means that something will happen, will have happened, already happened when the day is done. "I will get paid at the end of the day." Figurately - "at the end of the day" means "in conclusion" ; "after all is said and done" ; "to sum it up" ; "after all things have been considered."
