The fish and chip menu in South Devon<\/a> stretches way beyond the classic dish of battered cod and hot potato chips.

Where to find the best fish and chips in Devon<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At Coast & Country Cottages we love fish and chips, especially at this time of year. Nothing beats a dip in the sea on a warm summers eve, followed by watching the sunset and gorging on a feast. In honour of National fish and chip day (7th June)<\/strong>, we\u2019ve cast our net far and wide, trawling the region for the best fish and chips in Devon. Deciding which eateries in South Devon stand out from the crowd is not an easy task, and in our opinion, some of the best fish and chips to be found in South Devon are well-kept secrets. In true British tradition, we went in search of light and crispy batter, flaky fish and golden chips. It\u2019s been a tough job, but we managed just fine!<\/p>\n

Rockfish<\/a>, Dartmouth<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In 2010 local celebrity Mitch Tonks, and close friend Mat Prowse, bought Rockfish to the coastal town of Dartmouth<\/a>. Proving to be such a hit, more restaurants were opened in Brixham<\/a>, Exmouth, Plymouth<\/a> and Torquay. Hungry patrons can tuck into tasty Norwegian cod in a coat of light batter and perfectly cooked chips, and for those who aren\u2019t full, the \u2018bottomless\u2019 chips are available, free of charge! The whole menu is also available gluten free \u2013 something that makes this superb restaurant stand out even more.<\/p>\n
