The awards celebrate "true excellence" in the fish and chip industry, judging hundreds of chippies on a nationwide scale.

And it's not just taste that's being judged.

Each restaurant is also being assessed on sustainable sourcing, menu innovation, marketing, staff training and customer service.

The top ten finalists will now go into a final round of judging in London in January for the overall winner to be announced.

Marcus Coleman, CEO at Seafish, said: "It’s not possible to reach this stage of the competition without displaying true quality in every aspect of running a fish and chip business, so these 10 shops should be extremely proud of what they’ve achieved so far.

"It’s that commitment to quality in all areas that make The National Fish & Chip Awards such a great experience for all involved."
