Not sure about prices - BUT - fish and chips from Yorkshire ARE (possibly were, as I haven't had any since August) the BEST!!! Proviso - they have to be cooked in dripping! Had some good ones in Saltburn by the Sea on our last visit
I do think some dripping makes a huge difference.
Our once good chippy now has that unpleasant smell of oil used too long.
Pity it really was good.
Fish and chips by the sea have an added flavour I am sure.
Do they make what we called scallops?
Just peeled potatoes sliced about a centimetre thick, dipped in batter and fried as the chips are.
I don’t like shop meat pies but Holland’s were the best known hereabouts and all over Lancashire.
I could murder a nice crispy tasty fish!

We call them potato fritters in Zealand! We have a shellfish (very mild and yummy) that is really popular, quite expensive though, and we call them Scallops in NZ, they have a pretty fan type shell, and they're lovely and crispy - fried in beer batter! Yum! Oysters are very popular here, very expensive, some people prefer their oysters raw, and dip them in vinegar and then sprinkle salt over them! Some people chew them before swallowing them, others just swallow them! Ugh! My Dad loved them, I only tried them once - UGH, spat it out!!
Love my fish, my son and grandsons go fishing a lot, so there's never a shortage of fish in our family!
I always use beer batter on freshly caught fish! We're very fortunate, our wee country is so small, no one's very far away from the sea, or lakes and rivers for trout. A lot of shallow oyster farms in the South Island, but they're not going so well this summer, a lot of them are dying from the heat!!
