Coatbridge chippy named as serving ‘best fish supper’ in west of Scotland

Restaurateurs from all over the country gathered in Glasgow on Monday evening for The Scottish Fish & Chips Awards, which champion the best chippies delivering the iconic fish dish.

While there were no Glasgow winners, the nearby Tony’s Fish and Chip Shop in Shawhead picked up the gong for Best Fish Supper (West).

“We bring together entrants from all over Scotland, showcasing those who strive for quality by using top ingredients and going the extra mile to provide the very best food to their customers.

“We evaluate fish and chip shops in tiny villages and bustling cities alike, sending judges to every single entrant, whether they’re just two minutes away from our office or hours away by ferry on a remote island.

“Our rigorous judging criteria ensure fairness and consistency, giving us full confidence that our winners truly are the best.

“A win or even a highly recommended nod from us is a seal of approval you can trust – our winners’ success speaks for itself year after year. Try their food for yourself, and let us know what you think!”
