National Fish and Chip Day 2024: Best fish and chip restaurants in Yorkshire near coastal beaches including Whitby, Scarborough and Filey based on Google reviews

Yorkshire is popular for its fish and chips particularly thanks to the stunning coastline where people can walk along the beach while indulging in the famous British cuisine.

National Fish and Chip Day is normally held on a Friday, but this year it has been moved to today (June 6) to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Yorkshire has a rich history when it comes to fisheries as it has been a vital part of the coastline’s heritage that continues to be preserved today.
