HERE is a look at some of the top-rated fish and chip shops in St Helens, according to reviews on Trip Advisor.
Up there with a roast dinner, fish and chips is a renowned British institution and many residents can be almost tribal about which is the best place to get them from.
And Sintelliners are certainly no exception, with many local chip shops in the area highly regarded, with a 'split and fish' a staple of many people's routine.
Turning to Tripadvisor, we wanted to find out which chippies were among those the punters rated most highly.
Here are five of the highest-rated establishments in St Helens.
We know there are many more out there that people enjoy.
