Fabulous fish and chip "plaices" to try on Good Friday

On Good Friday, it's traditional to eat fish rather than meat.

So, we wanted to share some of Wirral's top venues to try this Easter weekend.

What makes a good serving of fish and chips?

Is it the crispy batter surrounding the flaky fish teamed with perfectly cooked chips?

Do you add mushy peas or gravy or curry sauce?

Do they taste better when you eat them out of yesterday’s newspapers?

As part of our Best of 2023 campaign last year, we searched for the area's best fish and chips.

You recommended some fantastic places and we put together a shortlist, where readers voted for their favourite.

The Corner Fish and Chip in Winsford battered the competition and came out on top.
