One thing about where you live.. The fish must be pretty nice...
It is quite variable, if the truth be told. It definitely pays to stick with chippies that know their stuff & deal with the best suppliers.

Grimsby still has an active fish market, but nowadays most fish sold there is delivered by lorry, rather than landed directly, so the time between the fish being caught & eventually being sold can vary quite a lot.

The best fish available, here, is either organically farmed, or fresh caught and delivered via air freight - but this tends to be the strategy for manufacturers, such as the one I work for, rather than the chippies, who still tend to buy daily from the market, or via an agent.

In my opinion the best fish available from chippies is in places like Whitby, where the fish is landed daily by local fishermen & is as fresh as can be
