Fish and Chips

Whitby is famous for its fish and chips. Fresh fish is landed by fishing vessels operating out of Whitby's historic harbour, sometimes only a few meters from the restaurants who cook and serve the best local seafood. Nowhere does fish and chips quite as well as Whitby!

Whether you're looking for a fish and chip take-away to eat along the Pier or down by the harbour, or a sit-down restaurant experience - Whitby has it all. Many of Whitby's fish and chip establishments have been owned and operated by the same families for generations. And with that righ heritage comes experience - guaranteeing the crispiest batter, the most delicious chips and delightfully flaky fish. Most of Whitby's fish and chip restaurants take great pride in using locally sourced produce. You'll often find the name of a particular trawler on a blackboard - a sign of the close link between Whitby's fishermen and the restaurants they supply.

And it's not just cod, haddock and chips being served. Traditional fish and chips are available on almost every street in town. But alongside the old favourites you'll also find some fresh ideas as well as delicious seafood alternatives such as mussels, squid, lobster and various kinds of alternative fish including monk fish and hake.
