Best Fish & Chips in Hull — The Definitive Ranking

[HessleRoad_Tiger]

Right, this is the big one. Hull is a fishing city and we take our fish and chips seriously. But who does it best? I’ve been on a mission to find out.
My top three after years of dedicated research (and a few extra pounds round the waist):
1. Bob Carver’s on Spring Bank — The absolute classic. Been going since the 1950s and the quality hasn’t dropped. Proper thick batter, fresh fish, and the chips are spot on every single time. It’s a Hull institution for a reason.
2. Papas on Holderness Road — Slightly different style, a bit more modern, but the fish is always cooked perfectly. Their portions are massive too. Great value for money.
3. A1 Fish Bar on Anlaby Road — Underrated this one. Consistent quality, friendly staff, and they do a lovely mushy pea. The haddock here is chef’s kiss.
Honourable mention to Dene’s on Dene Street for the old-school experience. Nothing fancy, just proper fish and chips the way they should be.
Now I know everyone’s got an opinion on this, so let’s hear yours. And if anyone says a supermarket does better fish and chips than a proper Hull chippy, you’re getting b
anned.

Bob Carver’s is the answer and always will be. My grandad used to take me there when I was a kid after Saturday games at Boothferry Park and the taste hasn’t changed in 40 years. That’s consistency. Papas is good but it’s not Bob Carver’s. Some things are sacred.

Going to be controversial here but Cave Street Chippy near the Old Town is my pick. Tiny place, easy to miss, but the fish is always fresh and the chips are proper chunky. Plus it’s dead cheap. But yeah Bob Carver’s is the GOAT overall.
