Best fish n chip shop

I always go to the North Sea Lane one myself. In the summer, you get the added entertainment of seeing Yorkies from the caravan parks specifically asking for cod. The pillocks.

Living in Essex and London for the last 17 years I have made it my life's mission to educate the eejits down here that haddock is the far superior fish. I see myself as the modern day Terry Waite (barring the kidnap) spreading the gospel (haddock) to the masses. Other learning points include the fact Grimsby is not in Yorkshit, Louth spire is 295ft and the Humber Bridge used to be the longest single span suspension bridge in the world.

As a result i have few friends  

Thanks for reviews everyone.

Opted for Fiveways as it was nearest to my route in.  Fantastic size of large haddock and good quality too; will happily revisit  

Nice one mate.

I miss Leon's too. That was good. And the Pea Bung!

I used to go to the County all the time when I was growing up in Cleethorpes, always found it far better than that one closer to the ground (used to be Hobson's).

More recently I've been going to the Ocean Fish Bar, which is really good too (if a little more expensive).

On a slightly separate note, does anyone remember when you used to queue out of the door when buying fish and chips at Saturday lunchtime? I grew up in the 90s and when I went to the County at around 12.30pm the queue used to be out of the shop. And I'm sure it wasn't just there, either.

You still get the odd queue here and there but it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be.

Wybers has been took over and reopened yesterday, anyone been ?

As a kid in the 60's/70's, me and my younger brother would get sent to the chippy every Saturday and it was a long old job, usually queueing for ages. I was sometimes sent with a bowl of fresh fish, if my Dad had just landed or my Uncle had brought a parcel of fish home from work, which was fried for us at the chippy and wrapped in newspaper for which we had taken a big bag, then the bowl was filled with chips and a tea towel, which we took with us draped over he top. It was quite an operation. If Town were at home, we'd then all troop off to the match and we'd get egg and bacon for tea when we got home. Great memories.

When I was a teenager on my way home from the Lifeboat pub,

I would stop at the chippie in Bentley St for Fish Pattie and Chips,

Lovely  

The one I remember using as a kid  (for a piece and six!) was on Yarborough Road (just around the corner from Norman Road and opposite what used to be Costello's newsagents)

The shop is now Little Caesar's Pizza (looking on Google)...don't know when it closed but I have fond memories of going there regularly, taking wet fish to be fried for my mum and dad too

You used to have to queue for ages there as I think that was probably the closest fish and chip shop there was to the Yarborough Estate, so had a really good trade back in the day

Nowadays when I come back to Town, I go wherever I can really...tried GR8 White near BP a couple of times and wasn't disappointed but best shop now? Only those living locally can say for sure

I like the one on north sea lane near the caravan parks. Handily it's near my mother in laws. That Mariners chippy next to the ground looks shite. Nice guy who runs it though.
