An artist has been sketching fish and chip shops along the East Coast as part of a project to celebrate the famous British favourite.
Paul Digby has been to 12 restaurants in a collaborative project with poet Ian McMillan, with their work to be displayed in an exhibition at Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre next year.
“It’s a celebration of working class communities and a staple British food,” said Digby.
“No matter where you are, you know what you’re going for.”
Digby has visited fish and chip shops including The Leaking Boot in Cleethorpes, Marina in Chapel St Leonards, Whitehead’s in Hornsea, and Newton’s in Patrington, Holderness.
He has one more to visit, in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, to complete his mission from Northumberland to East Anglia.
“There was a plethora of different stories people wanted to tell us about fish and chips,” he said.
“In Cleethorpes it’s a religion and there’s a debate as to which is the best one.
“We weren’t after a big thing – just engaging with communities.”
