Smith’s Ideal Fisheries

Posted by David Green 7 February 2007

Where does the chant “sing when we’re fishing” originate? Grimsby! Fish is synonymous with the town, and with that goes fish and chip shops. One of the best is Smith’s Ideal Fisheries, known to all as “Smithies”. Takeaway only, the shop is clean and tidy. Staff are friendly and efficient, and perhaps more importantly, the fish and chips are second to none. As is normal in these parts, filleted haddock is the favourite, a good sized portion deep fried in crispy batter. Add mushy peas – heaven!

Any fish and chip shop...

...in Grimsby! The home of fish and chips. We get the best stuff off the boats first and then send the rest around the country. Sure, it may be covered in trans fats and served by a woman with ankles 2 feet in diameter, but its all good stuff!
