"A frequent (and deserving) entry on "best fish-n-chips in Britain" lists, Aldeburgh's most celebrated eatery always has a long line of eager customers come frying time.

Lonely Planet

"Aldeburgh has a reputation for the finest fish and chips in the area; this is the best place to find out why."

"Family-run, this place keeps it simple, serving good quality, spanking fresh fish, encapsulated in crunchy batter cooked in beef dripping. There’s no-frills, and they don’t need them anyway."

Angela Wright

"Owned and run by the same family since 1967, their fish and chips have been enjoyed by generations of families over the years and are regularly mentioned in the press. Scoffing piping hot fish & chips smothered in salt and vinegar whilst enjoying the sound of the rolling waves of the sea and crisp blue skies I was really glad to have come out on a November afternoon for my Aldeburgh fish and chips!"

Cool Places

"There's always a queue at this renowned Aldeburgh chippy, and no wonder: the fish is fresh and fried in the lightest of batter while the chips are crisp and hot and to die for, fried in beef dripping just as they should be; indeed no less than the Guardian and Times have referred to this place as just maybe 'the best fish and chip shop in the world' – quite a claim."

Mollett's Farm

"With traditional cooking methods that haven’t changed in over 50 years the Aldeburgh Fish & Chip Shop has a tried, tested and proven formula for creating beautifully crisp batter that encases the freshest flaky fish, accompanied by pillow fluffy chips, all cooked using their technique of frying with beef dripping."
