Fish and chips in Blackpool
Johnny James, Managing EditorBlackpool knows a thing or two about fish and chip shops. Take a stroll through the town and you’ll pass scores of these proud British institutions, each competing for the flakiest fish, the crispiest batter, and the fluffiest chips.
There are small, traditional shops whose history stretches back a century. There are huge, sleek restaurants where the humble chippy tea becomes an elevated dining experience. Some are all about perfectly executed classics. Others invite a spirit of seaside adventure into their menu.
No trip to Blackpool is complete without visiting at least one of them, but how on earth do you choose which, when there are so many fish in the sea?
To help, we’ve rounded up the seven very best, each garlanded with praise from locals, tourists, and awards bodies – a three-pronged seal of approval that leaves little room for disappointment, and most likely little room for dessert.
So, loosen that belt buckle a notch and dig into our guide to the best fish and chip shops in Blackpool.
