Valla's Fish & Chip Shop

You'll find yourself on Bangor's main drag outside Valla's, watching through the window as they lower baskets of fish into bubbling oil. It's the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself—the queue does that for them. You're getting traditional chip shop fare done right: flaky white fish in golden batter, chips that are actually crispy on the outside and fluffy within, and the sort of salt and vinegar that tastes like it matters. The counter's no-nonsense, the service is quick, and you're in and out with your paper-wrapped parcel before you know it. This is what fish and chips should taste like.
