The Best Chippies in Devon, England

The Kingfisher is by no means your bog-standard fish and chip shop, which is why it was awarded the best fish and chip shop in the country just recently. With sustainability at its heart, there are 12 dishes on the Kingfisher menu, which are Marine Stewardship Council certified and is said to hold the world’s most sustainable fish menu. Whole lobster, smoked herring and Cornish sardine fishcakes are all available from this restaurant, which is one of only two in fish shops in the UK to hold a treasured three-star rating from the Sustainable Restaurant Association.

Based in the midst of Plymouth Barbican, a historical area on the seafront, Harbourside is a fish and chip which only uses sustainably sourced fish and will not serve any endangered species. In addition to this, they serve their food in bio-degradable cardboard trays and are signed up to the food logic scheme, which aims to get rubbish out of landfills. Not only are they ethically sound, but their fish and chips are fantastic and have won multiple awards.

Super friendly staff, fish cakes made by angels and a cult following of Graylings enthusiasts who drive for hours to both outlets in Fremington and North Tawton to tuck into their fish and chips. Graylings are more than just a chippie and were named as one of the top 10 restaurants in Devon by The Guardian.

The Fish Shed isn’t just a chip shop, but is a fishmonger with a fish and chip outlet tagged onto the side. To not mince words, the food that comes out of here is outstanding, and you can choose from a wide range of fish which have all been caught locally at Lyme Bay and bought straight from the fisherman. If you’re in the running for something special, you can even have a perfectly cooked lobster to go.
