Fry Magazine Awards 2023: Discover the Best Fish and Chips in the UK

The UK's finest fish and chip shops have been celebrated in a recent accolade, with 50 takeaways crowned for their exemplary offerings. Fish and chips, a national treasure and a comfort food for many across the UK, have proven their timeless appeal, relished during both the brisk winter evenings and the joyous summer days by the coast. The question of where to find the premier fish and chips in the UK has been answered by Fry Magazine's latest awards.

A covert assessment was undertaken by anonymous diners, who rated the contenders based on several criteria including the quality of food, cleanliness of premises, staff knowledge, value for money, ordering efficiency, and digital engagement. The top 50 were then selected for achieving the highest scores, with the pass mark set at an impressive 97% for takeaways, and numerous establishments reaching a perfect score.

The top 50 fish and chip takeaways, listed alphabetically, span the breadth of the UK, from Ainsworth's Fish & Chips in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, to Your Plaice or Mine Mobile Van in Thorne, South Yorkshire, showcasing the geographic diversity of quality available.

Additionally, the awards spotlighted the best dine-in options for fans of the dish, naming establishments such as Anstruther Fish Bar in Fife and Trenchers of Whitby in Yorkshire among the leading restaurants for fish and chips.

Reece Head, the competition organiser, praised the resilience and dedication of these businesses amidst the challenges of the past year, including wage hikes, soaring energy bills, and the pressures on fish pricing. Despite these hurdles, these establishments have demonstrated unwavering commitment, not only to maintaining high standards but also to supporting their staff and keeping their clientele well-informed.

This celebration of the UK's finest fish and chip shops not only recognises their hard-earned achievements but also solidifies fish and chips' standing as a cherished staple of British cuisine.
