South Yorkshire is home to a variety of iconic chippy’s, and now a new app has ranked them.
According to the app, ‘Fish and Chips’, two shops in Sheffield have made it into the top 100.
The app ranks fish and chip shops across the UK, publishing two rankings which are recalculated every month.
These are the top 100 chippies for takeaways, and the top 25 fish and chip restaurants, which are scored from Google and Trip Advisor ratings.
Frymasters is an iconic fish and chip shop located in Attercliffe, and has been ranked number 38 in the top 100 chippies.

It has a 4.7 rating on Trip Advisor, with lots of people in agreement that it is a great place to eat. Benjamin C wrote: “The staff are absolutely amazing and the vegan/vegetarian options are brilliant.”

- Four Lanes, on Leppings lane, Hillsborough was rated exceptional
- Nosh’s Chippy, on Stanwood Avenue, was rated outstanding
- Poseidon Fish Bar in Stocksbridge, was rated outstanding
