Scottish fish and chip shop named best in UK
by Rebecca Smithers - 25/01/2010
"Atlantic Fast Food in Coatbridge named best fish and chip shop in UK – Scotland's third win in a row"
A North Lanarkshire chippy today scooped the title of best fish and chip shop in the UK, beating off competition from thousands of rivals.
Atlantic Fast Food in Coatbridge was awarded the accolade in the annual competition organised by the industry body Seafish.
The winning chippy is owned by Gianni Fionda – a Scot with Italian heritage – whose parents ran fish and chip shops for many years. He was crowned champion after a rigorous judging process, which included a customer vote, taste tests, two rounds of shop inspections and a presentation to a panel of industry experts.
Shops were judged not only on the quality of their fish and chips but also on responsible seafood sourcing, customer service, food hygiene, staff training and community spirit.
The competition is now its 22nd year but the latest win completes a hat-trick for Scottish chippies. The UK boasts around 11,500 fish and chip shops. Finnegan's Fish Bar in Porthcawl, South Wales, was named the second best shop in the country with Midlands regional winner, The Great British Eatery, in Birmingham, third.
Fionda said: "To win this competition as a first time entrant is a dream come true. It's the best thing to have happened to us in our professional life and has made all the hard work worth it. We've worked in the fish and chips business for many years and it's always been great fun."
Nikki Hawkins of Seafish commented: "Fish and chip shops are well-placed to prosper in the current economic climate as they offer value for money and a quality product with a feel good factor. Despite the credit crunch, people still want to enjoy small luxuries. In fact 183m portions of fish and chips were sold last year alone. A national institution, fish and chips have survived the test of time and will be around for many years to come."
