Two Northern Ireland fish and chip shops have been named amongst the Best in UK.
The takeaways make up the finalists for the Fish and Chip Shop of the Year Award.
The awards celebrate "true excellence" in the fish and chip industry, judging hundreds of chippies on a nationwide scale, with the winner announced in January 2020.
The Dolphin Takeaway, Dungannon, Co Tyrone , and The Frying Squad, Bangor , Co Down, will represent Northern Ireland in the final.
Marcus Coleman, Chief Executive Officer at Seafish, said: "Fish and chips is the healthiest of the traditional takeaways, and we're pleased to say that the quality on offer across the UK is just as healthy, if not more so, than it was when we launched these awards 32 years ago.
"It's not easy to break in to the Top 20, so every one of these businesses should be celebrating today.
"Our judges really do scrutinise every aspect of running a fish and chip business, so reaching this stage is a real achievement.
"If you see your local shop on the list, get down there tonight and show your support. Best of luck to all of them in the next round."
Britain's Fish and Chip Shop of The Year will be crowned on 23 January 2020.
