The Fisherman, Settle
I have mentioned this Fish & Chip restaurant several times in other articles but it really needs to be added to the @tasteem database as it’s quite exceptional.
Fish & Chips is considered a staple food in the United Kingdom, and like it or not we are famous for this quite unhealthy dish.
Finding a good ‘chippy’ however is very hard in today’s times. There are lots about but most are average at best and there are some truly terrible ones.
The Fisherman at Settle in North Yorkshire is truly the best I have ever eaten. For us to visit it’s a 45 minute journey and we have made that journey just to eat here before.
I can’t say I have tried anything else than, ‘Fish & Chips’ from the menu, but there are plenty of other things to choose from.
The outside is nothing special and has a take-away attached to the left side of the restaurant. We have always eaten inside so I can’t speak for this.
Inside is relatively small, but never empty despite the photograph. The other side of the restaurant was quite full.
Just look at those Fish and Chips. Every time we eat them, we depart feeling fulfilled and quite sustained. @bingbabe is a native of the Philippines and just loves eating here.
She only said to me after today’s helping, ‘they are so good!’.
You just need to drink a full fat coke to go with this kind of food and don’t forget the malt vinegar.
I personally douse my chips with this stuff as it makes all the difference.
The restaurant is open EVERY day unlike some, and two helpings of Fish and Chips with two cokes set us back a cool £20.40. Great value in my opinion for food of the highest quality!
You can see my plate is empty, a very familiar sight when departing from the Fisherman, Settle.
I’m not sure about this sign. It looks like it’s from the fifties and genuinely looks that old!

OK, understood. I didn't realise this one was included.
Nice write up! The food looks amazing. Which item on the menu was the one you pictured? Was that the haddock and chips? Or was it the jumbo? It makes me want to hop on a plane over there for sure! I am planning on getting some fish tonight as well, but mine will be a little different.
LOL, its the regular Fish and Chips. I can't eat jumbo sized food, my appetite isn't what it was.
I hear you there! Thanks for clarifying. Since it filled the whole plate I would have guessed that was the jumbo!
I haven't had a good fish and chips in around 25 years. Never been that lucky with chippies in London. The last good one was when I was in Leeds (I lived in Bradford for a couple of years).
I have to say I'm very biased toward Yorkshire chippies. They simply have no equal, so I can quite believe what you say about the Leeds one.

Thanks!
Tried fish and chips once in my life while being in UK, can't say I was fond of it(don't kill me please) But I have a feeling if I went to a proper place I could try a better version:) I would like the "chips" as you call it in UK to more crispy lol
Lol, I wont kill you... there are lots and lots of crappy ones about. There's many in my vicinity but all are average at best. The percentage of good ones is very small. Chances are you visited a bad one :)
I had the suspicion as well that it might just have been unlucky. Hopefully next time in the UK I will get to try it:) My sister was in Yorkshire for two months. She loved them as well she said.
Hahaha I love that sign! xD We had fish and chips yesterday too, but I am sure they weren't as nice as yours, they sound and look lovely! Not sure about the full fat coke though, we had Pepsi Max ;) Great write up!
Its gotta be the fat stuff, I don't get on with max, though coke zero I can abide.
I LOVE fish and chips. You are right, it is so hard to find someone who makes a good dish! This looks very tasty, have to add the malt vinegar too. The sign makes it! "give your child an expresso and a kitten"- classic! Thanks @slobberchops!
I love a good fish and chips... But we overdosed on the chips part during our holiday in England!
However, after living in Netherlands, I have gotten really used to the Dutch version of fried fish! You should jump over the channel and try it out!
I will try it if and when I get there again. Is it just called, 'fried fish' and where to get it from?
Lekkerbekken is the fillet and kibbeling is the smaller chunks. It also depends where you go, some do it too greasy, the best is ones that are freshly battered.
The batter is flavoured somehow... And it is made of cod.
