A fish and chip shop in North Yorkshire has been named among the very best in Britain by The Times, thanks to their “consistently fabulous” dishes.

Located in Scarborough, the "world famous" fish bar (as described on their website) is less than a minute's walk away from the seafront – can you guess which fish and chip shop it is?

The Times said about its new chippy list: “Our annual best beaches special is the result of a 5,583-mile drive around the UK.

“Hundreds of beaches are examined to find what we deem the best in the country. It’s hungry work, and on the coast the only fuel is fish and chips.”

It added: “In these superior chippies, a fish supper often comes with various regional accompaniments: the black pudding fritter, the deep-fried oyster, the battered haggis, and the poor man’s caviar — aka deep-fried cod roe.

“There’s clearly more to a fish supper than cod and chips, and the following is our selection of the best places to tuck in.”

Why is The Tunny Club among best fish and chip shops?

The Times commented: “No other chippy on the best beaches tour beat this.

“It seems the love is reciprocated by the Tunny Club’s owners, whose walls display framed photos of John Wayne, David Niven, Errol Flynn — celebrities who came to Scarbados for the tuna fishing in the area’s heyday — as well as The Times and The Sunday Times’s very own Chris Haslam.

“The fish and chips are cooked to order here, which accounts for the fact they taste so fresh and consistently fabulous.

“You can dine at wooden benches in the historic, low-ceilinged fish bar, outside in the patio, or take your fish supper down to the seafront under a minute’s walk away.”

On Tripadvisor, customers who have visited The Tunny Club seem to agree it’s one of the best fish and chip shops and have given it a 4/5 rating from 422 reviews.
