Fish and chip shop in Whitby

[Gandahar]

On my hols.

Went to a fish and chip shop in the s1980's and the best fish and chip shop was next to the putting green believe it or not, jut up the road from the whalebones.

Roll on 10 years and I took my girlfriend there saying it would be the best ever, but changed hands and it was pants.

Roll on 20 years and I am back, girlfriend promoted to long suffering wife VC ..

I can't make the same mistake twice.

Any recommendations? We don't like skin on fish but I'd like "scraps"

Do they still catch fish locally or is it all frozen and brought on from Iceland? If so I guess it does not matter where we go.

I once caught a codling off Whitby pier age 16. Woohoo.

Any advice welcome. Thanks

Thanks everyone, just off there now, so will see which we bump into, most likely quayside I guess. Not keen on queuing so might be one of the more quiet ones.

Cheers again.

Eee by gum it's been moved. Yorkshire is so big it has it's regional forum ! Mr Boycott would be proud.

Ended up in the Quayside as recommended and was very good fish and chips indeed. If it had been a winter night with a roaring North Sea storm on the pier with the chips warming you up from the inside, that would have been better, but even so very good. The Magpie did have a large queue.

Fish and chips should not be eaten in a restaurant they should be eaten outside at Whitby with the salty sea air and a large seagull sat a few feet away willing you to drop that chip
