A good fish and chip shop is judged by its basics. The fish should taste of the sea under a light, crisp batter, and chips should be hot, not soggy. Ask what fish is freshest that day, since many shops sell different local species through the week. Eating soon after it is wrapped keeps the batter crisp, and a beach walk is a classic way to enjoy it. Regulars often add a scoop of chips, a mussel or two and a sauce on the side.
