Chip, chip hooray for Harbourside

Plymouth’s Harbourside Fish and Chips restaurant and takeaway on Southside Street on Plymouth’s Barbican has been shortlisted for the 2016 Takeaway Fish and Chip Shop of the Year in the National Fish and Chip Awards.

The top 60 fish and chip shops have been announced by the Federation of Fish Friers as part of the UK’s National Fish and Chip Awards by Seafish.

Competing across 10 regions, the shops – including Plymouth’s Harbourside - will now ‘batter’ it out as they vie for the ultimate title - Independent Takeaway Fish and Chip Shop of the Year.

Sarah lock, Co-Owner of Harbourside, says of making the shortlist: “Last year we won the regional title of Best Independent Takeaway Fish and Chip Shop of the Year and this year not only do we hope to retain our regional title but we want to go national and win the overall award for THE BEST fish and chips in the UK.”

In October, Seafish will announce the top 10 region winning shops competing for the flagship award. These shops will then be invited on an all-expense paid study trip to Ålesund, Norway, organised by award sponsor the Norwegian Seafood Council, to witness first-hand why the country is regarded as one of the world’s most sustainable fishing nations.
