These fish and chip shops have been named the best in the country

Whether you like them with lashings of vinegar or smothered in salt, nothing says British comfort food like fish and chips.

Which is just as well, as a list of the 20 best places in the country for the dish has been revealed.

Every year, chippies and restaurants across the country compete to be crowned the winner of the National Fish & Chip Awards.

Ahead of the competition in January, a shortlist of the best venues has been announced.

Unsurprisingly, a number of seaside spots feature in the shortlist.

French’s Fish Shop in Wells-next-the-Sea, Fish ‘n’ Fritz in Weymouth and Rockfish in Devon are just a few waterfront locations to make it into the top 20.

London and its surrounding areas also did well, with Belmont Bay Fish Bar in Harrow, Seafare Guildford in Surrey and Fiddlers Elbow in Hertfordshire also making it onto the list.

It’s hardly a surprise that a fair few northern chippies feature too, such as Fish & Chips @ Weston Grove in Chester and Shap Chippy in Cumbria.

A handful of restaurants such as the Bearded Sailor in Leeds and the Cod’s Scallops in Nottingham also made the shortlist.

The winner will be announced at an awards ceremony taking place on 23 January 2020.

Judges will look for spots that maintain excellence in sustainable sourcing, have excellent customer service, train staff, have development opportunities and have an innovative menu for those with allergies or dietary requirements.

The competition is carried out by Seafish – a public body that supports the seafood industry.
