Researchers analysed thousands of menus for traditional fish and chip shops in over 50 locations across the UK.
Their data reveals where your money goes furthest for a portion of fish and chips.
Manchester tops the list as the most budget-friendly spot for a portion of fish and chips, averaging just £8.94.
Walsall (£9.17) and Dundee (£9.47) round out the top three, coming in second and third place, respectively.
Other affordable spots include Derby (£9.70), Bradford (£9.87) and Stoke-on-Trent (£9.88), all offering classic chippy fare for under a tenner.
Scotland's second city, Glasgow, makes the list at number 10 with an average price of £10.37.
Close behind Glasgow is Aberdeen (£10.67) and Edinburgh (£10.93).
Harrison Score, Head of WDW Bingo, said: "Fish and chips are more than just a meal – they're a national institution. Whether you're paying under a tenner in Manchester or splashing out in Exeter, it's a dish enjoyed by generations across the UK.
"At WDW Bingo, we know all about chasing the best odds – and when it comes to value for your fish supper, it pays to know where your chances are highest of bagging a low-cost meal.
"The data shows that the North dominates the top 10 cheap eat locations for this iconic dish. It's also interesting that no seaside towns make the cut for cheaper chippies."

Coming out top in the chippy category was Sea Salt and Sole in Aberdeen.

Turkey travel chaos as airport shuts down due to raging wildfires ripping through hols hotspot with hundreds evacuated
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TRAVEL chaos has erupted in a Turkish holiday hotspot after raging wildfires blazed across the region and sparked mass evacuations. The terrifying inferno ripped through the tourist resort of Foça, İzmir, before it was fanned by strong winds and tore through neighbourhoods.

Planes were seen dumping large supplies of water over fiery infernos in order to combat the blazes. And local residents watched in horror as their homes were torched up and forestry continued to burn. Aftermath photos showed scorched cars and buildings while firefighters worked desperately to fight the flames. Flights have now been suspended at İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport following the raging wildfires. Ongoing extinguishing efforts prevented jets from taking off or landing at the airport as of 4pm local time. Flights scheduled to land at İzmir were reportedly diverted amid the travel mayhem. And hundreds have been left stranded following the major disruption. Brave firefighters spent 22 gruelling hours fighting the vicious blaze across İzmir. The lengthy operation reportedly involved 625 personnel, six helicopters, 46 fire engines, 9 bulldozers, and 13 water supply vehicles. Holiday warning as wildfire is raging at Greek island forcing evacuations Hundreds were evacuated form their houses - with 550 residents forced out of some 175 homes in Ilıpınar, Foça. Four firefighters were also affected by smoke poisoning, two of whom were hospitalised. The exact cause of the fire is currently unknown. But preliminary findings suggest the inferno may have been caused by a high-voltage power line. The governor of the province, Süleyman Elban, cautioned the population to exercise extreme caution in the next few days. He said low humidity and high temperatures would aggravate the risk of more fires. 8 Homes were burned to cinders Credit: Getty 8 Cars were torched up in the fires Credit: Getty The governor said: "We expect the next four or five days to be very hot, with strong winds and low humidity. These conditions are perfect for a fire. "Everyone's life is at stake. We must all be extremely cautious." Wildfires were also reported in Sakarya, Bilecik, and Manisa this week. Environment Minister Murat Kurum said in Bilecik, 23 houses and 47 units in 3 villages were destroyed in the forest fires, whilst 41 houses and 25 barns and warehouses were severely damaged. Minister of Agriculture and Forestry İbrahim Yumaklı, said: "Nine major fires broke out in İzmir, Denizli, Aydın and Manisa. "The fire in Manisa started again due to wind. "Four villages and two neighbourhoods were evacuated due to the fire." 8 Jets deployed water supplies over blazing regions Credit: Getty

American living in the UK left floored as he admits one thing is 'really different'
An American who is obsessed with visiting different cities around the United Kingdom to rate them in a series of viral videos has been left "impressed" by a shopping centre as it's "insane" An American living in the UK was left flabbergasted by UK shopping centres, branding his native American malls as subpar by comparison. TikToker @kjordyy, who rates different cities across Britain, was awestruck by Kent's Bluewater Shopping Centre and expressed his thoughts in a video captioned: " are we doing? British malls are genuinely insane". He enthuses about the UK malls in the video, claiming they "blow his mind" and insists it's "so much more than a shopping experience". "I don't think you truly understand the complexity of these malls," he declares, amazed at the offerings. His tour showed him that "first of all", the architectural prowess of every centre he visits is "insane". He then marvelled at the discovery of "a moat outside of the mall". Diving into details, he reveals it houses over 280 stores, boasts a cinema with 17 screens and even an adventure park complete with ziplines and skydiving options. Bemused, he noted that such attractions are unheard of in US malls, admitting: "If I were a kid, I just wouldn't leave this place," due to the variety of available activities. Emboldened, @kjordyy announced his intent to try skydiving on-site, something not possible in American shopping hubs. However, after approaching the skydiving and zip line areas, he faced disappointment being told he was "too heavy" to participate. Undeterred, he concluded: "Just the sheer fact that a mall has this, I'm impressed. I'm sad I've got too swole a body for them, but you know what, maybe next time". In the comments, one person encouraged him to "go to the Trafford Centre" for its remarkable features. "Especially the ship area with the restaurants," another added. An individual recounted their astonishment during a visit to the Trafford Centre, saying it "blew their mind". Some commenters were quick to point out that "Bluewater is not an accurate representation of UK 'malls'." One commenter reminisced: "Metrocentre used to have an indoor funfair including a rollercoaster!! It's no longer there now". The impact of the internet on shopping centres was debated, with some arguing that "people are too lazy to go and walk round" nowadays, while others defended the irreplaceable experience of in-person shopping. A woman queried: "Are malls shutting down over there the way they are here? Even our giant mall only has about two stores in it now". Another boasted about their local centre: "I mean my local one is all outside and has a cinema, like 20 shops and 6 restaurants, but there's better further away". Meanwhile, a UK resident described their local centre as having just "a Greggs, McDonald's and the absolute bare minimum of stores," reassuring the TikToker that this isn't the norm.
