The one in Aldeburgh Suffolk. I don't know what it's called but the fish was excellent.

A little fish and chip shop near the sea in New Romney, Kent.

There are two in Aldeburgh, both equally good. I believe they are owned by the same people.

I would also recommend the fish and chip shop literally on the beach at Dunwich, also in Suffolk, fresh fish also excellent.

I had Fish and Chips in an upstairs posh (for Blackpool) restaurant many years ago. They were wonderful. Can't remember the name of the place.

Becks in St Ives is good and Trenchers in Whitby.

Jol44 · 09-07-2013, 00:12

I like Prospect Plaice in Sidmouth, though I'm talking about awhile back now, I don't know what it's like today.

Ernie Becketts in Cleethorpes.

It won the national chip shop award last year.

Anstruther in Fife, Scotland. Fantastic and there is always a queue out of the door.

I come from Yorkshire where the fish and chips were lovely.......now live in South Devon where because the fish is plentiful you would think they were to die for....WRONG........really thick yellow batter with a slimey layer between fish and batter...revolting. Really miss decent fish and chips!!

One in Bournemouth...I forget the name. Beeeeeautiful fish n chips. Very friendly service too. This was four years ago though, I hope they are still in business.

My local Cotters chippy in North Down, he does the fish and scampi in a stout batter which has won the shop several awards. Value for money has to go to the local Codfather that has several lunchtime specials including a fish supper and can of drink for 3 quid.

Not sure, all I remember is it was up some stairs and the waitresses wore traditional black outfits and aprons. Tables set out like a proper restaurant.
Could have been St Annes ?

I agree about Yorkshire, there's a couple of nice places in Skipton.

I prefer Steele's on the other side of the marketplace (even if the decor is a bit like great-granny's front parlour). I also rate Trenchers in Whitby, d&g.

Was it 'Chez Fred'? It's won awards, but I recall we were slightly disappointed when we went a couple of years ago.

No, wasn't. I remember I wanted to go there though but don't get round to it.

Just did a quick Google - The Frying Squad!

The one at the end of my road. Even though this is a seaside resort, where I live is nowhere near where any tourists ever are, so it's really a local chippy
For local people.

Best fish and chips in town, mind.

Love this chippy. Fish tastes so fresh and great chips They do brilliant ice cream too. Burnt cream flavour is amazing.

MrQuike · 10-07-2013, 22:52

Squires Braunton, Devon was excellent.

Also fond memories of a chippie at Robin Hood bay. The battered cod was so good we went back for seconds that same evening.

The Magpie in Whitby for me, absolutely superb.
