Nah, they're nothing special any more, and too expensive for what you get. I prefer the one on the front at Scarborough.

Whitby yes. But not the magpie. Go over the bridge away from the magpie and just on the corner on the right is a lovely fish and chip restaurant. Best I've ever tasted. But be prepared to queue

I was outraged to be served frozen chips once in Llandudno

Frozen chips are the preserve of kebab shops not seaside chippies

Lots of good chip shops in Bridlington, Audry's chippie is good near the sea front, and The trawler has the best chips.

Why at the coast do they seem unable to skin the fish?

"Why at the coast do they seem unable to skin the fish? "

Because most inland f+c shops use frozen blocks of ready skinned...whist a lot of coastal towns use fresh caught fish.

Most of the chippys in Whitby are very good, some better value than others. I agree the one at the south end of the prom in Scarborough is excellent or was the last time I had them. There used to be a really good one at Heysham head going back a good few years.

Does that really matter? Much of the catch from our fishing industry is exported.

You go to France and order their delicacy of snails or frogs legs to eat.

Would you expect them to be imported?

I would expect them to be local produce not imported.
