Their top-ranking hearty grub is available Tuesday to Saturday until 8pm.

Finally, in third place was The Fish Works, located in Largs, near Glasgow.

The family run business is operated by husband and wife Ross and Tiffany Irvin.

They : " Being foodies we wanted to supply traditional haddock and chips in the lightest crispy batter but also twists on the traditional like fresh langoustine tails, calamari, seasonal fish from the day boats of Peterhead and good old fashioned fish finger butties."

But Belfast is home to the number-one rated Fish & Chip Restaurant of the Year.

Fish City stole the title, just a stone's throw away from the capital's historic waterfront.

On the menu, customers can choose from local and sustainably sourced fish, crab, squid, mussels, prawns and chicken.

Coming up behind Fish City, was the Malt and Anchor in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.

They boast "Cirencester's finest fish & chips, to eat in or take away" and are situated in the heart of the idyllic Cotswolds.

Their award-winning pies and butcher sausages also give their fish and chips a run for their money, with "something for everyone" no customer will leave empty handed.

Finally, in third place was Henry's of Hunstanton based in Norfolk.

They state all of their cod, haddock and plaice are sourced from government monitored areas in the Barents Sea and Norwegian Sea.
