Two Suffolk fish and chip restaurants have been shortlisted for Restaurant of the Year at the National Fish & Chip Awards 2027, now in its 39th year. Saltwater Fish & Chips in Felixstowe, which opened in 2020, serves traditional fish and chips from a seaside location overlooking the beach. The family-run business sources its cod and haddock from Norwegian and Icelandic waters, and also offers a gluten-free menu including battered sausage and chicken nuggets.

Ocean Fish Platter in Ipswich is known for its signature fish and chips cooked in beef dripping with a crispy, house-made batter. Customers can choose from a variety of fresh fish, including cod, haddock, plaice and skate wings. The awards celebrate excellence across the industry, including food quality, customer experience, sustainability, staff development and overall business standards.

Andrew Crook, president of the National Federation of Fish Friers which organises the awards, said choosing the top 10 was 'one of the most rewarding parts of the competition'. He noted that the year's participants were 'showcasing remarkable skill, commitment and innovation' and that their success highlighted 'the incredible opportunities available for people looking to build rewarding careers' in the industry. The Restaurant of the Year category is regarded as one of the industry's highest honours.
