The best fish and chips across the nation can be found in Plymouth. Flickr/damski LONDON — Nothing says Britain like a crispy piece of fish and and steaming hot chips, but with so much selection, it can be difficult to know where to get the most authentic meal.

Luckily, on Tuesday, the winners of the 2017 National Fish & Chip Awards were announced at a ceremony in London.

Now in their 29th year, the Awards recognise the best fish and chips across the UK from the businesses who enter the competition, rewarding national and regional winners as well as a number of other categories.

The businesses are judged by a panel selected by seafood industry authority Seafish, and are chosen not only on the quality of their fish and chips, but also their sustainable sourcing practices, customer service, hygiene, and staff training.

The panel visited the top 60 shops to ultimately come up with a list of 10 finalists, each of whom are invited to the final and sent on a trip to Norway to learn about the supply of fish to the UK.
