Went to my father-in-law recently - outside Oldham. Called in at the local Chinese/Chippy - Cod £4.10 each, large chips £3.10. One problem with the chips - the covered two 12" plates to a depth pr about 1.5-2" ...
About 30 years back I visited Harry Ramsden's which was out in the sticks somewhere near Leeds IIRC. It had quite the reputation back then but, in due course, went all corporate and very average IMO. Such a simple dish but easy to get it wrong.

Gorgeous fish and chips in Holmfirth and bread and butter too we went on the last of the summer wine tour on the old bus had coffee in the coop where Marina was the cashier at till
