A DARLINGTON fish and chip shop has won an award for excellent standards.
Brinkburn Fisheries, in Brinkburn Road, was presented with a Friers Quality Award by the Sea Fish Industry Authority.
The award is presented to friers who meet standards of quality throughout their business from good fish and chips to helpful, staff, high levels of hygiene and good practice in handling and cooking food.
Eleanor Nicholls, Sea Fish quality assurance advisor, said: "The inspection is very thorough indeed.
"Only fish and chip shops that meet our requirements will get the award, but I am pleased to say that Brinkburn Fisheries certainly demonstrated very high standards and, of course, great fish and chips."
The shop has been given a certificate and logo to put on display.
