Quickly served in several layers of traditional fish and chips paper wrap, the small portion for \u00a31.70 was generous and smoking warm.<br \/>\nThe chips, of a decent chunky size, were perfectly cooked, soft in the middle and crispy on the outside, without being greasy. Their sizes varied, making some crispier than others and suiting all preferences.<br \/>\nMore than 40 years of business has made Yan\u2019s chips close to perfect. There are a couple of tables to eat in, but the chips were still very warm after 15mn wrapped in paper \u2013 the ideal takeaway. 5\/5<br \/>\n<strong>Ali Corless, Riverside Fish Bar<\/strong><br \/>\nThe\u00a0medium\u00a0chips I bought from Riverside Fish Bar were tasty.

Rating:\u00a03\/5<br \/>\n<strong>Dominic Booth,\u00a0Cathays Fish Bar<\/strong><br \/>\nAT just \u00a33 for a large battered sausage and small chips it offered value for money. Great tasting chips and, most importantly, the right amount of vinegar. Not too much means not too soggy. An instant hit for anyone who loves their chips crispy. 4\/5<br \/>\n<strong>Caleb Spencer, The Golden Crown Fish Bar. <\/strong><br \/>\nOne of the few fish bars in Ely, and positioned on the main route through Ely, Grand Avenue, the Crown gets a lot of passing trade. The chips are delicious, having a light golden colour, a crisp yet fluffy texture, and a delightful after taste. 4.5\/5<br \/>\n<strong>Tom Bamford, Adams Fish bar &amp; Punjabi Balti house.<\/strong><br \/>\nA haunt of many sozzled students stumbling back to halls from the union down Cathays terrace.

Firstly, it should be said that this was a massive portion. Much, much bigger than my face. It was a normal level of greasiness, void of much crisp but most of them were pretty fluffy. 3\/5<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-4815 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/CS_Golden-Crown-Chips_Print-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"CS_Golden Crown Chips_Print]\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-4815 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/CS_Golden-Crown-Chips_Print-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"CS_Golden Crown Chips_Print]\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/noscript><br \/>\n<strong>Jack Averty, Parc Lane<\/strong><br \/>\nThe chips were delicately cooked and, much to my delight, were not at all fluffy. They were crispy and crunchy and had a great taste. But they were a bit dry and curry sauce was required to get the most out of them. 4\/5<br \/>\n<strong>Gemma Parry, Albany Fish Bar\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nWalking into Albany Fish Bar, you may be a bit dubious if you\u2019ve never heard of the Annual Chip Awards or the infamous Potato Council, which run them. But rest assured, what you can is a delicious great bag of chips.<br \/>\nWe think you won\u2019t be left disappointed. The chips were absolutely delicious with a salty crunchy exterior, with soft, fluffy potato in the middle. You might not even need to add the usual generous helping of salt and curry sauce to them to make them taste better. It is little wonder the fish bar was recently awarded with the title of best chippy chips.<br \/>\nMaqbool Sadiq, the Assistant Manager of Albany Fish Bar said: \u201cWe\u2019re obviously delighted to have won.<br \/>\n\u201cWhen the manager found out we had won it, he called us all and said well done to all the staff. We love what we do here and I think that shows in the end product. \u201cWe just constantly try to improve and get better, which, I think, makes our chips taste so good.\u201d 5\/5<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nOver 900 fish an chip shops from around the country competed for the award, which were awarded on a national basis.<br \/>\nKate Cox, of the Potato Council, said: \u201cHere in Great Britain we are undoubtedly a nation of chip lovers and Chip Week is a fantastic celebration of our great British food tradition.\u201d<br \/>\nFor a better idea of what\u00a0chippies are in your area, \u00a0have a look at our map of all the chip shows<br \/>\nThis map is a work in progress.
