A Manchester chip shop has been shortlisted among the 40 best chippies in the UK. And it could even be crowned the best in the land.
Chips @ No 8 in Prestwich has been named among the finalists in the Fish & Chip Takeaway of the Year 2023, the annual awards run by the National Federation of FIsh Friers. The competition has been announcing the best chippy in the country for 30 years, and it’s regarded as the most prestigious accolade in the world of fish frying. 2023 will be the first awards for two years, following a hiatus caused by the pandemic.
“This is the chippy world cup,” owner Dan Edwards told the Manchester Evening News. “It’s like the American’s baseball world series, is how we think of it.” From announcing the top 40, the list is then whittled down to the top 20, and then another round for the top 10.
