Today, Thursday, June 6, marks one of the best days of the year to celebrate - National Fish and Chip Day.
National Fish and Chip Day is usually celebrated on the first Friday of June, but this year it has been moved to coincide with the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
It’s one of Britain’s favourite dishes, and thankfully here in Sheffield, we have plenty of chip shops for you to choose from.
Whether you’re going for the classic fish, chips and mushy peas, the vegetarian-alternative banana blossom fish, or even a pie, sausage or pineapple fritter - there really is something to for everyone at chip shops.
While we may not be near the seaside, the taste of fish and chips is bound to bring back some fun memories of summers by the sea. If we close our eyes and think hard enough, we might even hear the waves.
To help you celebrate this special day, we have listed 12 of the top-rated chippies in the city, based on reviews by customers on Google. Our list sorts them in ascending order, and each shop has a minimum of 100 reviews.
