A Nottinghamshire chippy with a difference has made it on to a list of the UK's best fish and chip takeaways - and it's a shop where many customers don't order fish. The National Fish and Chip Awards 2023 has announced a 40-strong shortlist of finalists in readiness for next year's awards ceremony.
Sea & Earth in Mansfield Road, Woodthorpe, is the local contender in the midst of chippies from Skegness, Whitley Bay, Hunstanton and Birmingham, who are in with the chance of winning the ultimate glory. The honour went to the Cod's Scallops in Notts in 2020.
A relative newcomer, it was August 2021 that Sea & Earth opened its doors serving a varied menu of cod, scampi, sausages, fishcakes and chicken nuggets. But it's also vegan-friendly, offering deep-fried banana blossom as an alternative to fish, meat-free sausages and nuggets and vishcakes.
