Shropshire's best fish and chip shops – according to your reviews

Nothing quite beats a chippy, after all the UK is the home of fish and chips. But, despite it being a British classic, research from 'Best for Britain' has found that the nation's favourite takeaway is a Chinese.

A chippy takeaway, or 'chippy tea' as it's well known, was 'hardly battered' as it came in a close second with just more than one in five (21 per cent) respondents to the study picking the seaside speciality as their preferred choice.

And, after The Times has recently released its '23 of the UK's best fish and chip shops' ranking, we've decided to take a look at some of the best chippy's in the region - according to Google reviews and ratings.

In no particular order, here are some of Shropshire's best fish and chip shops.
