It’s National Fish and Chip day (June 6) and to celebrate we have rounded up some of the best fish and chip takeaways in Blackburn, according to Google reviewers.

Traditionally, the national day is held on the first Friday of June but this year it is being held a day early to honour the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

In the Second World War, fish and chips were one of the few foods that were not rationed in order to keep morale up.

If you want to celebrate the day with a chip butty or a full fish supper with all of the trimmings, we have you covered.
