Award-winning Fishguard chippie celebrates 10th birthday
Fishguard's Hooked@31 turns ten this week and to celebrate the award-winning chippies is offering two portions of fish and chips for a tenner, or one portion for £6.
The take-away is also celebrating the fact that National Fish and Chip Day also turns 10 today (Friday, June 6).

'Saithe is from the cod family, has a stronger flavour and darker flesh. It's well worth a try,' said Hooked@31.
If you don't want to do the double, you can have a single portion of Saithe and chips for just £6.
Hooked has made a name for itself for producing quality fish and chips.
In 2020 the Fishguard fryers were whittled down from 10,500 chippies across the UK to be named one of the top ten in the UK. The chippie was also ranked among the top two in Wales.
They gained the accolade in the National Fish & Chip Awards, a UK-wide competition celebrating true excellence in the fish and chip industry.
In the run up to the finals, Hooked@31 gave away free fish and chips, which saw hopeful locals queuing down the street for their portion.
The business stayed open during the lockdown, providing delicious home deliveries to grateful locals.
When restrictions eased, it was common to see long queues of customers all eager for Hooked's deep-fried fayre.
The following year Hooked@31 was named as one of the best in Wales as part of the 2021 edition of the Official Guide to the UK's Quality Fish and Chip Shops.
The chippie is also well known throughout Pembrokeshire for its famous homemade ice cream from local Morfa milk. It also produces vegan and dairy-free ice cream.
In 2023 January owners Charlette and Gethin Rand said that the business would be taking a new direction and would not be opening its doors in the new year.
However, the chippie was soon back in business, this time as a pop up venue opening on selected days rather than year-round.
The pop-up concept has proved a hit with customers and Hooke@31 is open for three days a week throughout June with another gluten free evening planned as well as other special events.
To celebrate its tenth birthday this week Hooked@31 is open from Wednesday through to Saturday from 12pm to 2pm and from 4.30pm to 8pm. Other tasty treats are on offer as well as the saithe two for £10 deal.
