A FISH and chip shop in the North-East is hoping to be named Britain's best later today.
The Fryers Plaice chip shop in Hexham, Northumberland is one of eight finalists in the Fish and Chip Shop of the Year at the competition final in London.
A total of 8,500 establishments entered the competition for the coveted award, now in its 14th year.
Malcom Large, of competition organiser Seafish, said: "These eight shops are the creme de la creme of the nation's fish and chip shops."
