Which Fish and Chip shop is best?
Fish and chip shops vary more than you might think, and the way they cook can make a big difference to taste, texture, and even how “greasy” the food feels.
Cooking oil
Oil choice is a big one. Traditional shops often use beef dripping, which gives a richer flavour and crispier finish, but many now use vegetable oils like rapeseed or sunflower to cater for dietary preferences and reduce saturated fat. Some premium shops promote sustainable rapeseed oil, which burns cleanly and produces a lighter, less oily chip.
Frying methods
Frying technique also matters. Good shops cook chips in stages - first to soften, then again at a higher temperature to crisp them. Fish is usually fried fresh to order in a light batter, and the best places keep oil temperatures consistent so the batter turns golden and crisp without absorbing excess oil.
Local differences
There are also regional differences. In the north you’ll often find thicker chips, scraps, and gravy, while in the south chips may be slightly thinner with more emphasis on cod and lighter batter. Some shops focus on sustainability, using MSC-certified fish and eco-friendly packaging, while others stand out with extras like homemade tartare sauce or gluten-free batter days.
All of this means two fish and chip shops can look similar on the surface, but deliver a very different experience depending on how they source and cook their food.
