The UK's 25 best fish and chip shops

A new guide highlights 25 top fish-and-chip shops across the UK, advising readers to look beyond crowded seafronts and chase places locals actually use. It features recommendations such as Lily’s Traditional Fish and Chips in Blackpool, Fish Hut on Liverpool Road in Manchester, and The Wetherby Whaler’s Guiseley branch—linked to the original Harry Ramsden site. In Leeds, The Fisherman’s Wife is described as serving fried fish paired with “bits” after 5 p.m., while The Scrap Box in York is noted for winning “Takeaway of the Year” at the National Fish and Chip Awards in February. The list also points to Scarborough’s dense chippy scene, singling out North Bay Fisheries.
