AN EAST Lothian restaurant has landed UK top spot for its fish and chips.

East Coast, on Musselburgh’s North High Street, was ranked number one – alongside London’s Fish Lounge – in a list compiled by Betway.

The study, which highlights more than a dozen chippies throughout the UK for people to try, considers analysis from Google, Tripadvisor and Instagram to put together a ranking.

The successful county business describes itself as: “An exciting new venue in Musselburgh which is home to both a modern fish & chip shop and a fresh new seafood & grill restaurant where you can enjoy Scotland’s best produce and warmest hospitality.”

On Tripadvisor, it has more than 200 reviews – with an average rating of 4.5 out of five.
