Describing their cod, the restaurant writes: "Sustainably Sourced Skinless Cod: Moist, flaky white fish with a mild flavour. Perfect with our homemade tartare sauce."
The West London chippy doesn't just serve fish with menu items also including halloumi fries, battered sausage, No Ordinary Chicken Nuggets, Half-Pounder Burger and much more.
Locals love Stones Fish & Chips too, as its Tripadvisor rating offers 4/5 with one customer sharing: "Haven’t been to Stone’s for a little while but just had the most delicious fish and chips.
"The cod was a proper size and cooked to perfection - the chips were also perfect and I couldn’t fault them.
"If you haven’t been to Stone’s you must give them a try."
Speaking of the awards, Andrew Crook, President at the National Federation of Fish Friers, and organiser of the awards said: "The calibre of entries for the National Fish and Chip Awards 2024 have been nothing short of fantastic and we are proud of all the eateries that clearly put in huge amounts of effort to be considered for the accolade.
“Fish and Chip Takeaway of the Year is a notoriously difficult category to stand out in, but the panel of experts had many tough decisions to make. However, we’ve selected an exceptional shortlist that showcases the unwavering passion, dedication and excitement that the fish and chip industry brings to British culture.”
The winner will be announced at the awards ceremony on 28 February at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, London.
