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."

It comes days after Scotland's best fish and chip shop was crowned in this year's annual takeaway awards.
Coming out top in the chippy category was Sea Salt and Sole in Aberdeen.
The takeaway, which has four locations in the city and surrounding area, commits to sourcing its haddock daily to provide customers with a fresh, delicious fish supper from sustainable suppliers.

Scroll down to see the pricetag SKY HIGH Brand new way to travel the NC500 launched – and you'll never get stuck in traffic Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A NEW NC500 experience has been launched. And it's the ideal way to see the iconic route - which has been named among the best trips in the world - without getting stuck in traffic. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 The NC500 has become an iconic trip 6 Travellers can now see it from the air 6 Links House is offering the service 6 Inverness Castle is one of the highlights The five-star Links House at Royal Dornoch is launching a 'Sky-to-Shore' adventure flight experience. Links House has teamed up with Highland Aviation for the new one-hour plane trip from Dornoch airstrip aboard a Piper Cherokee Warrior II plane. During the flight, guests will be given the opportunity to see the stunning coastline and North Highland landscapes from above, some of which features in the famous NC500 road route. Highlights include breathtaking views of Royal Dornoch Golf Links, Dornoch Firth, Dunrobin Castle, which is affectionately known as the 'Jewel in the crown of the Highlands', and Loch Ness. The route also takes in Inverness, Culloden Battlefield, Cape Wrath, The Kyle of Durness and John O'Groats. The UNESCO Flow Country, which is the UK's newest natural World Heritage Site and was named one of the best places in the world by the New York Times, is another stunning spot to see on the journey. And Sandwood Bay, recently picked out as one of the UK's best beaches, can also be seen from the sky. When guests come back down to earth, they can take a stroll along Dornoch beach, just a few minutes' walk from the airstrip, where the sand and sea showcase the area's natural beauty. Guests complete their 'Sky-to-Shore' experience with a fine dining experience at MARA, the award-winning restaurant at Links House. Freshly prepared by head chef Theo Creton, the seasonal menu celebrates the very best local and seasonal produce from around the Dornoch Firth including wild Ardgay venison, Portmahomack lobster and freshly picked herbs from the hotel's very own kitchen garden. Stunning Scots island with gorgeous 'Caribbean' beaches and crystal-clear blue waters and it's only an hour from Glasgow But the trip does come with a hefty pricetag. A two-night 'Sky-to-Shore' break at Links House in Royal Dornoch starts at £1,300, based on two people sharing a double room on a dinner, B&B basis. Links House holds the most northerly Michelin Key in the UK and has two AA rosettes for culinary excellence. The NC500 has been a popular route since it launched in While travellers praise the stunning sights along the way, locals say the infrastructure has not kept up with demand. And some visitors do not treat the area with respect, according to irate householders including some who were recently branded scum for the mess they left behind. 6 The Flow Country is also on the trip

Brits given warning as rare red alert issued for Spanish holiday hotspots
The coastline of Alicante has been placed under a red alert for hot temperatures from midday today (August 18) until the evening, while the region of Vega del Segura is also under a red alert British holidaymakers in Alicante and Benidorm are facing a rare red weather warning, with scorching temperatures set to hit 42C today (Monday, August 18). The Alicante coastline and Vega del Segura region, encompassing Murcia city, have been slapped with a red alert for extreme heat from midday through to evening. Meanwhile, amber warnings are active across southern Spain with the mercury expected to soar to 40-42 °C. This covers Huelva in the south west and Seville. It comes after holidaymakers abandon Marbella as waiters left 'with heads in their hands'. Yellow warnings have been issued for central and northeastern Spain, reports the Manchester Evening News. Whilst conditions won't be quite as blistering here, temperatures are still forecast to climb into the high 30s. Similar sweltering conditions are anticipated across the Balearic Islands. Ibiza, Formentera and northern Majorca are under amber heat warnings, with peaks of 39C predicted. Menorca faces a yellow alert and could see the thermometer hit 36C. No warnings are currently in place for the country's northwest. Looking ahead to Monday, August 18, Aemet forecasters said: "Significant drop in temperatures in the northwestern half of the Iberian Peninsula. "They will remain significantly high in the southeastern half, as well as in parts of the Balearic and Canary Islands, reaching 40 degrees in the Guadalquivir and low-pressure areas in the southeast." Areas in the north east could experience downpours and thunderstorms, especially close to the Pyrenees. Majorca stays under a yellow heat alert, with temperatures reaching 36C predicted, whilst the Mediterranean coastline will continue to swelter. Looking ahead to Tuesday, Aemet stated: "A significant drop in temperatures will occur in the southeastern and eastern parts of the Iberian Peninsula. "However, temperatures will remain significantly high in parts of the Mediterranean peninsula, the Balearic Islands, and the Canary Islands. Showers and thunderstorms will be locally heavy with very strong gusts in the Pyrenees, the eastern Iberian Peninsula, and areas in between."
