Where to find Britain's best fish and chips, from chippies to restaurants
By LoveFood • 25 July 2023
A plaice in our hearts
Whether you prefer yours with mushy peas and tartare sauce, or like to go rogue with curry sauce on the side, there are few meals that evoke the British seaside than fish and chips (even if you're eating them in a landlocked village). We've gathered together the best places in every region of the UK – each of England's nine official regions, plus Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales – for a fish and chip supper, from chippies that wrap up warm and satisfyingly greasy paper parcels to restaurants serving their battered cod on actual plates.
Our selections are based on genuine user reviews, awards and accolades, and the first-hand experience of our team. They're also regularly checked and updated.
