It's often considered Britain's national dish - so wherever you get your fish and chips, you're bound to have some strong opinions on what the best chippy is where you live.
To determine once and for all which restaurant in the North East serves up the very best of the battered classic, ChronicleLive has put together a poll of places around the region that have earned rave reviews from customers over the years. You can vote for your favourite from our shortlist of venues in Newcastle across to North and South Tyneside, as well as popular spots in Northumberland, Durham and Sunderland.
The list includes Fenham Fish Bar and Chip & Fish in Newcastle as well as Throckley's Dhillons Fish Inn, while over in North Tyneside you can vote for Pantrini's or Fisherman's Bay in Whitley Bay, Longsands Fish Kitchen in Tynemouth, or The Waterfront in North Shields. Up the coast in Northumberland you can cast your vote for Harbour View in Seaton Sluice or Coastline Fish and Chips in Blyth.
