And thankfully Sheffield is very well served with many fantastic fish and chip shops.
Tripadvisor has helped to whittle down the competition by ranking the best places in the city that serve this classic British feast.
Here, according to the website’s reviewers, are the top 10.
5. Poseidon Fish Bar, Woodseats
"Pure white fish with a superb, golden crispy batter," one reviewer says of Poseidon's food. "Served with a smile and a great price - the fish is massive." Photo: Google
6. Tony's Fish and Chips, Mosborough
This long-established place comes highly recommended on Tripadvisor. "They cook fish and chips the way they used to when I was a kid," reflects one reviewer. "The chips are golden brown, not white, and the fish is in a thick, crispy batter. All are cooked in beef fat." Photo: Google
7. Crosspool Fish Bar
This is quite possibly the farthest-flung fish and chip shop on this edge of Sheffield - the quality of the fish, chips and mushy peas is 'always excellent', one reviewer says. "My wife always phones ahead to request two fat cods, which has become a catchphrase with the wonderful staff," they add. Photo: Google
8. Moor Fisheries, city centre
"The fish and chip meal here for the money is awesome," one reviewer says of Moor Fisheries. "Fish, chips, mushy peas, bread and butter, and a cup of tea for less than a fiver. Unbelievable." Photo: Google
