Pisces Fish&chips shop

Locals in Boston have quietly made Pisces their first port of call for proper fish and chips, and it's easy to see why. This family-run chippy holds a spotless Food Hygiene Rating and has built a loyal following for its no-fuss approach to classic seaside fare. The fish is always fresh, the batter golden and crisp, and the chips properly fluffy — just as a takeaway should be.

You'll find haddock and cod fried to order, alongside chunky homemade chips and mushy peas that taste of the seaside. The batter stays light and shatteringly crisp, never greasy, while the fish flakes beautifully underneath. They also do a mean sausage in batter and proper gravy for those who want something different. Order ahead to skip the queue, especially on a Friday night. Pisces serves the whole Boston area and is well worth the trip.
