Fish & Chips in Weston-super-Mare
No trip to Weston is complete without fish and chips eaten on the seawall. Look for freshly fried cod or haddock, proper chip-shop chips and a pot of mushy peas.
Quick answer
Fish and chip shops line the seafront and town centre. Eat with your back to the wind and never feed the gulls - they'll grab food from your hands.
