The humble fish and chip supper is a tradition among families and food lovers in Shropshire.

Turn any corner in any town across the county and you'll find chip shops and restaurants full of sizzling fryers full of crispy cod and full flavour chips.

It can be an evening meal, a lunchtime treat or a late-night, post-night-out snack - and is just as popular in a town centre as it is eaten by the seaside.

Many places claim to be the best, but which takeaways and restaurants are the ones most highly rated by customers? Using Google reviews, we've produced a top three list for towns across the county - plus one just over the border.

Is there a restaurant or takeaway that you feel should be on the list? Let us know in the comments below.

The Victorian Fryer is praised for quality chips and well-cooked kebabs, bursting with flavour - and while its prices are a little higher than other shops, the quality of the product justifies that cost.
