IT'S Good Friday tomorrow, the traditional day to indulge in a portion of fish and chips.
If you are not cooking your own, then your destination will be one of our terrific fish and chip shops.
The full list is below but among them are Bizzie Lizzie’s, Swaford Street, Skipton, North Yorkshire, Colmans of South Shields, South Shields, Tyne and Wear, Land & Sea, Sowerby, near Thirsk, North Yorkshire, Robinson’s Traditional Fish and Chips, Billingham, Teesside, The Scrap Box, Dunnington, York, Longsands Fish Kitchen, Tynemouth, Newcastle and Quayside, Whitby, North Yorkshire.
Fry Magazine's mystery diners have poured over hundreds of portions to come up with the definitive list and more than 600 shops were involved.
"Over 40 aspects of the business are carefully scrutinised from the quality of fish and chips and staff presentation to front-of-house hygiene and customer service," said a spokeswoman.
"Shops that communicate the provenance of their products, for example where they source their fish and potatoes, could scoop extra points as could those with a social media presence, who offer disabled access and those with card payment facilities.
"All the while, the food is the main focus with all outlets assessed on the flakiness of the fish, the crispness of the chips and the crunch of the batter, alongside value for money."
