Hodgson’s Chippy, Lancaster, UK

Not all of Europe's top seafood restaurants have to be posh gourmet eateries. Fish and chips are a British institution, and they should be served in a rolled-up newspaper from a cheerful and inviting chippy. Seafish awarded Hodgson's in Lancaster the finest chippy in Britain title a few years ago, and it's simple to understand why when you dine there.

Nigel Hodgson, the proprietor, exclusively offers sustainably caught Icelandic haddock. He serves the fish with thick chips, a shot of malt vinegar, and handmade mushy peas, which he fries in a beautiful tempura batter.
