'TOP FIVE CHIP SHOPS' by dan brown

Originating from Grimsby, the home of Fish and Chips, it's with a degree of disappointment and outright indignation that I am unable to include a Grimsby chip shop in this list.

Wait?! I hear you say, Are you insane?

Not at all my good man, for I have never visited any of the chip shops mentioned in this article. I can therefore not vouch for their quality. Britain is famous for it's fish and chips, and also for its eccentricity. Therefore, these chip shops are rated purely on the combination of the two factors. Enough spiel, pray silence please for the top 5 chip shop names.

1. Codraphenia, Sheffield.
Naturally, playing on the words cod and plaice are vital for any self respecting novelty named friery, however this one is simply exquisite. I hear the food is really good too.
82 Walkley Bank Road
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S6 5AL

2. The Codfather, Northwich.
Continuing on a slightly less innovative cod and movie related theme, is the Codfather in Northwich. It even gets a mention in the Guardian
289 Manchester Road Northwich

3. A Salt and Battery, Greenwich Village, New York
Ok, so it's not British, but come on, this is awesome! Hopefully serving a little more than is made obvious by the name, this is novelty fish and chips at it's finest. The website states it's brought to you by tea and sympathy. They're on to something here. Americans love British things right? Apart from rule of course. They're not a fan of that. Still, they should franchise this name out to Grimsby.
112 Greenwich Avenue, New York City

4. The Town Frier, Stevenage
I like this. What they've done is avoid the usual suspects for chip shop naming convention, but still come up with something that conveys the purpose of the business. Very clever.
39a High Street, Sandy, Stevenage.

5. A Fish Called Rhonda, Glamorgan
I can only assume this is the owners name. Slightly less original, but still impressive.
20 Church Road, Ton Pentre, Pentre, Mid Glamorgan, CF41 7ED

As you can see, here in Grimsby, the home of Fish and Chips, we are quite frankly behind the times when it comes to naming conventions. Could it be that what chip shop owners in the town lack in creativity, they make up for in quality?

I'd welcome any suggestions for a good Grimsby chip shop name that we can pass on to Gilbey Road Chippy or Smiths.
