Whitby misses out on best chip shop title

WHITBY, one of the fish and chip capitals of Britain, was licking its wounds yesterday after missing out in a competition to find the home of the nation’s favourite supper.

Royal Fisheries, run by Carol Fusco and her team in Baxtergate, was the only one in Yorkshire to make it into the top 10 of the finals of the national Fish and Chip Shop of the Year.

But yesterday it was announced the award had gone north of the border, to the Atlantic Fast Food chippy in Coatbridge, Glasgow. It is the third year running that a Scottish shop has scooped the title.
