A new interactive map charts the best local takeaways across the United Kingdom.
Traditional fish and chip shops, Chinese restaurants, Indian takeouts and kebab shops all feature on the map, with all tastes catered for.
A recent YouGov survey found that Chinese was the country's most popular takeaway, being the preference of 25% of the population, with Indian in second place with 17%.
And with Brits spending an estimated £42billion on takeaway meals every year, there is certainly plenty of demand for good-quality food.
Seafood news site Intrafish says there are around 10,500 fish and chip shops across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, with 20 of those on the map having been 2023 National Fish and Chip Shop Award nominees.
The awards, hosted by Jason Manford, are returning next month after a two-year hiatus due to the Covid pandemic.
National Federation of Fish Friers president Andrew Cook said in quotes reported by the Daily Mail: “We are delighted to be bringing the awards back as they are so important as the main driver of standards in our industry.
“They are also a fantastic opportunity to highlight key issues that affect our businesses, it is also a great place for operators and suppliers to meet and where many friendships are formed.”
Among the shops nominated is a Welsh chippy run by a secondary school teacher and his wife.
Fish Kitchen 1854 is named after a famous viaduct close to Hengoed.
Last year a survey of 2,000 adults revealed the top choices for delivery and takeaway habits when it comes to ordering online.
Typically, people in the south west of the UK spend £47 per month, and will order in a Chinese over other delicacies.
Scots fork out as much as £61-a-month, also favouring a Chinese takeaway - with one in five getting one at least once a week.
The study, by Vodafone and Just Eat, found Londoners spend the most on their takeaways each month, paying out £73.70 - £20 more than the national average, and they also order more often than anyone else.
Londoners are also most likely to ‘rotate’ their orders and try new restaurants, while people in Wales stick to the tried-and-trusted.
More than three in 10 (31%) of all adults always get the same thing out of habit, while for one in four simply opt for the closest takeaway.
But a quarter admitted they are ‘scared’ to try something other than a favourite dish, in case it ends in disappointment.
It also emerged adults believe £12 should be enough to get them one side dish and one main - although one in 20 would expect one main, two sides and a drink for this.
However, some Brits have been reducing the number of takeaways ordered due to the cost of living crisis.
