A FISH and chip shop is celebrating winning a national taste test.

Jackson's fish and chipshop in Guisborough has won the Seafish Fish Friers Quality Award because its fish suppers are so tasty.

"It's taken a lot of hard work to get up to standard and we're naturally delighted to receive this award," said owner David Jackson.

Inspectors took into account hygiene, the quality of the cooked food, equipment and the shop's image.

Seafish, an industry group, established the awards to improve standards and promote the food.
