10 Best Fish and Chip Shops in Blackpool

Papa’s Fish & Chips has 250 seats in their spacious and atmospheric restaurant, making them the largest fish and chip shop in Blackpool. They’ve won countless awards, from so-called certificates of excellence to the BBC’s Best of British Takeaways.

Award-winning Yorkshire Fisheries has 2 storefronts, one for dine-in, and one for takeaway. But whichever you choose, you won’t be disappointed with their tempting menu created by a family who’s been in the industry in Blackpool since 1907.

Their menu caters to many different tastes and appetites, as their battered cod comes in 3 sizes and you can ask for the portion of chips to come with your serving. There are even plenty of options other than regular cod and chips – they have juicy burgers, homemade fishcakes, and a selection of pies as well.

They also have over a dozen different gelato flavours to try for dessert.
