FISH City in Belfast has been named as Northern Ireland's best chippy.

The restaurant on Ann Street is the only chip shop in the north to be named among the top five chippies in the UK.

All other restaurants are based in England.

The five chippies are in the running for fish and chip restaurant of the year at the 2020 National Fish and Chip Awards next month.

The awards recognise customer service and sustainability as well as good food.

Marcus Coleman, chief executive at Seafish, the body which supports the seafood industry, said: "With party season now upon us, people around the UK will be gathering together to celebrate over fantastic food and drink. We can’t think of anywhere better to do it than in one of the best fish and chip restaurants in the UK."

The overall national winner of the fish and chip restaurant of the year award will be announced on January 23 2020.
