There are not many things better than a chippy tea and people in Merseyside take fish and chips pretty seriously, arguing that their locals serve the best in town.
Despite being home to dozens of much-loved, well-rated chip shops, Liverpool and Merseyside had no winners at this year’s National Fish and Chip Award and we’re on a mission to showcase our brilliant offerings.
To find which of our chippies reign supreme, we decided to talk to the people who know best - the customers. After receiving an influx of suggestions across Merseyside, we have put together a list of the most-recommended fish and chip shops, which locals say are guaranteed to impress.
Here, in no particular order, are the ‘best’ fish and chip shops in Liverpool and Merseyside, according to LiverpoolWorld readers. Is your local on the list?
