FISH and chip lovers have until the end of the month to vote for their favourite fish and chip shop.

The National Fish and Chip Shop of the Year Competition 2005 was launched in June by celebrity chef Brian Turner to find the best chippy in their area and the best of the 11,500 fryers in Britain.

Andy Gray, Seafish project manager for the awards said: "We are urging people to help us find the best chippy in the UK by filling out the nomination forms in their local shops. So if you've got a favourite chippy get out there and vote!"
