Belfast fish and chip shop has been nominated for two top awards

A Belfast fish and chip shop has been nominated for two top accolades at the National Fish and Chip Awards 2023.

Fish City in the heart of Belfast is the only restaurant in Northern Ireland to be recognised at this year's awards - raking up two separate nominations, and the city centre eaterie knows how to serve up a pretty mean fish supper with lashings of salt and vinegar. a slice of lemon and the option of tartare sauce.

It is in the running for: Fish and Chip Restaurant of the Year; and Environment and Sustainability Champion.

Fish City is a lively family-owned business, which began its journey in 2013, winning the 'Seafish' Regional Fish and Chip Shop of the Year Award in 2015, and in 2018 were voted the UK’s healthiest and most sustainable Fish & Chip restaurant and takeaway by Seafish.

The restaurant ensures full food traceability, working with local food and drink producers wherever possible to offer guests a menu that is flavoursome and healthy.
