A North Tyneside chippy has been shortlisted as one of forty finalists for the National Fish & Chip Awards 2023.
Fisherman's Bay on East Parade in Whitley Bay is the North East's only representation on the shortlist, which is looking to celebrate the best fish and chip takeaway throughout 2022. Some may be surprised that the likes of Coastline in Blyth, Lewis's in Seahouses, and Colman's in South Shields haven't made the shortlist, with all three of those being named among the best in the country in various lists in 2022.
However, Fisherman's Bay is well-qualified to fly the flag for the region, having already been named one of the 10 Best Fish & Chip Restaurants at the Fry Magazine Awards in March this year. It has also been shortlisted for an international competition for the first time, and is up for Best British Restaurant along with Colmans Seafood Temple at the International Dining Awards 2022.
