There are many competing opinions about which chippies are the best, so we have used hygiene ratings and customer reviews to rank them.
There are few things better than a chippy tea, and on Good Friday - it's a must. But, there are so many competing opinions about which fish and chip shop is the best, especially with Liverpool being filled with so many excellent options.
However, one way to determine which chippy to visit is by looking at hygiene ratings to see which venues are considered the best by food inspectors and then combine the results with reviews from diners to rank them all.
We have done just that by combining Google Reviews and food hygiene ratings from the Food Standards Agency. Each restaurant has at least 100 reviews and 4.0 stars or more on Google, as well as a five star hygiene score.
So, here are the 14 best* fish and chip shops in the city, in alphabetical order. Is your favourite on the list?
