Where can you get the best fish and chips in York? You decide THIS is a call out to all of York's foodies after the city missed out on one of the fish and chip industry's biggest awards. The Fry Awards 2021 sees critics undertake a mystery dining visit across the country's chippys and rate them on the flakiness of the fish, the crunch of the batter, their customer service, Covid safe practices and their social media presence. And despite having more than 20 fish and chip eateries in and around York, not one of them made the list. The nearest venue to make Fry's 50 Best Fish & Chip Takeaways list was the Land & Sea in Sowerby, North Yorkshire.
