The walls spattered with food could do with a wipe. This isn't the mess of a busy day, but prolonged inattention to hygiene. Knives didn't look particularly clean and they were out of forks. We had to make do with plastic chip forks to eat our meals. Even the salt and pepper shakers were dirty. Even before the food arrived, impressions were a little grim. Plaice and chips arrived at our table in a tiny polystyrene tray, fish was dry and burned, chips were dry and bland. My hand got dirty from handling the greasy salt shaker, but there wasn't even a napkin available for us. Horrible. Can not recommend at all.

Jackson's is another in the wave of fish and chip shops in Southport that tries to entice you in on…read morea cold and wet Tuesday afternoon for some good, wholesome home cooking. 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.

Now granted we'd only eaten breakfast barely two hours earlier but who was I not to give the pregnant lady what she wants?! So it was that she and I found ourselves queuing out the door of this place, figuring that the most popular and nice-looking place on the main street had to be good, right?! (though thinking about it, most of those in the queue looked like tourists so it may have been a case of the blind leading the blind... but anyway!) Inefficient counter queuing system aside, the service was really friendly and with our two mini fish set to take another 5mins the guy kindly offered to split a large fish between us (= cheaper, quicker and more fish each! Boom!). We had them 'open' rather than wrapped up, and the salt+vinegar is DIY so unlike the good old days you can avoid giving yourself a heart attack. Sadly I found the batter too thick in places, so ended up leaving much of this and just eating the fish. The chips were delicious though, as agreed by the envious, healthy-eating friends who soon came over to steal some. There's a proper seated restaurant attached next door but I recommend queuing at the (cheaper) classic chippy counter, then scoffing it by the river 50 yards away. Pretty good value for the portion size and I didn't regret following my mate's lunch choice at all. Yeah so what if I'm not eating for two?! ;)

A busy chippy on a Friday lunch time is a good sign, but the queues were almost out the door. Fishtastic's combined a traditional fish and chip shop (counter, typical menu range) with modern practices - cardboard boxes instead of waxed paper and sustainability info. On the wall is helpful screen showing where their current fish stock was sourced! I ordered Haddock out of habit as I prefer to have my fish cooked to order, but their Cod was sustainable too. The fish was cooked perfectly, chips were kept hot without going soggy (probably down to the box) and a can of Cream Soda washed it all down a treat. Fishtastic is a little out of my way, but for quality fish and chips like this I'll be coming back! Keep up the great work.

The food is second to none, prices are a little more expensive than other local shops but you pay for what you get. Only thing lacking is the service which can be a little slow at times but the food makes it worth the wait. All fish is prepared fresh for you giving you the comfort in knowing that it's fresh all the time. Also nice to see a 'massive' selection of fish for you from cod to hake and skate. Well worth a try
