A FISH and chip shop owner is 'frying high' after being named best chippy in South Yorkshire by the Potato Council.
The Codfather, of Laithes Lane, New Lodge, was named best in South Yorkshire, and runner up in the Yorkshire and Humber region during the awards to mark National Chip Week.
Owner Ilham Shamchiyev grew up in Azerbaijan and had never even tried fish and chips until he moved to Barnsley in 2001.
He worked in several takeaways before moving to the Codfather seven years ago.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
