Luke Littler handed out one of the awards
Over 160,000 votes were cast by loyal Deliveroo fans over three weeks to crown no less than 50 regional cuisine-led winners in the delivery giant's Restaurant Awards 2025.
And coming out top in the fish and chip 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 ycustomes with a fresh, delicious fish supper from sustainable suppliers.
Meanwhile, the chips are just as important.
The Deliveroo team said: "Implementing an alternative approach to fish and chips using freshly caught fish and locally sourced ingredients, they are well known for their double-cooked chips, which come with many of their dishes.
"As the seasons change, so do their recipes – everything from potato varieties to precise frying temperatures will vary."
Rikki Pirie, Director at Sea Salt and Sole, said: "Wow, we've won! It's incredible to be named Deliveroo's Best Fish & Chips in Scotland.
"Huge thanks to everyone who voted – your support means everything. We're looking forward to serving up our award-winning fish and chips to Aberdeen locals for a long time to come."
The Luke Littler x Deliveroo Kebab Award, fronted by the UK darts champion himself, saw a shortlist of ten Littler-approved restaurants go head-to-head in a public vote to crown the nation's best kebab spot, Sqew Shawarma Bar from Leeds has won the title after securing backing from local kebab fans in just two weeks.
Meanwhile, Deliveroo's Independent Restaurant of the Year 2025 has been won by CRUNCH from London after the five regional finalists, including Big Mannys' Pizza from Scotland, battled it out at a cook-off held at Deliveroo Editions in London.

It was judged by Deliveroo's CEO and founder, Will Shu, returning judge, food critic and journalist Jimi Famurewa and the awards' youngest ever judge, TV Chef and personality, Tilly Ramsay.
Competing finalists had 45 minutes to cook their most popular Deliveroo main dish to the panels' discerning taste buds.
CRUNCH's most popular Deliveroo dish, the "Patty Melt", dazzled judges with its "next level" flavours.
Jimi Famurewa, food critic and Deliveroo restaurant awards judge, said: "Each finalist brought something unique and delicious to the table, making the final decision incredibly tough for us.
"However, CRUNCH from London stood out amongst the fierce competition, showcasing immense creativity, fine dining-level technique and mindblowing flavour that impressed us all."
