Unlike many of its rivals however, Jackson's has the pedigree to boot too as it has recently been voted Best Chippy 2010 (although I'm not quite sure where). As you might expect with such a title, Jackson's offers very good fish and chips that is delicious and filling. Their fish is delightfully crispy and golden, whilst their chips are perfectly fluffy and just the right texture between dry and soggy. Their prices are fairly competitive for the area, meaning you can get fish, chips, mushy peas, bread and butter and a hot drink for less than four pounds, which is great value for money when you consider the quality of the food you're eating. If you're in the area definitely give them a try, whether you fancy a takeaway or a sit down meal.

Efficient, friendly staff will ask for your order as you walk in to reduce waiting time, which is sad in a way as you have less time to gas with Formby's finest such as Norman and Joe who can be found in here. The sense of shared privilege being in this shop queue is tangible. Ask for the lightly battered fish if you want to get close to a cod tempura and it can come in a box for a few pence extra to make sure it arrives home in perfect condition. Talking of stars, a popular insider strategy is to put in your order, cross the road for micro-brewed Red Star beer in the best room in town, collect your food and roll home triumphant. You'll see, any tardiness will be instantly forgiven as you plate up and tuck in back with the family! This place is one mushy pea and a blob of tartar foam away from a Michelin Star. P.S. Just checked another review to find a chap came all the way from Chelmsford, Massachusetts to eat here!

With it being a seaside town (I'd describe it as Diet Blackpool), fish and chip shops are very, very common in Southport. There are a fair few in the town centre and it only gets worse as you head up towards the front. Some are okay, some are terrible and some, like Harpers, are very good. On the busy Eastbank Street, the takeaway section of Harpers at the front of the shop is quite small and cramped, meaning the busy lunchtime period results in a slightly squashed few minutes. However, the staff there are all very efficient so you're never normally waiting too long. If you're not in a rush, there is a restaurant part to Harpers to at the back of the shop, where you can sit down with your fish, chips and mushy peas and eat in relative peace as you wash it all down with a cup of tea. The food itself is probably the best in the area, with their chips being delightfully fluffy and their fish being crispy and full of flavour. Their prices are a bit expensive but competitive nonetheless, meaning Harpers is a good place to go for a bite to eat during lunchtime.
