Tripadvisor rating: 4.5/5

Where: 83 Lustrells Vale, Brighton

What the punters say: "This is simply the best Fish & Chip I’ve ever had in the past 15 years since I came to UK.

"I’ve tried nearly all the legendary Fish & Chip shops in London and other nearby cities, none of them surprised me like this local one.

"The fish was just cooked at the perfect level that the coating covered it was crispy enough to sparkle in my mouth and the fish was so juicy and fresh to present the sweetness from its natural flavour."

"It's a must try."
