In second place was Kirkhamgate Fisheries on Batley Road, which came third in last year’s award. Owner Joshua Ellis said: “I’m really pleased, absolutely. I wasn’t expecting it.

“I think people keep coming back to us because we’re a small shop, there’s just the three of us here and you get to know the same people.

“I’d like to give a massive thank you to all our customers for using us and I hope they carry on coming.

“We’re not a massive chain we’re just a local business.”

And in third place was Brown’s Fisheries in Normanton.

Owner Ian Nutbrown said: “I’m glad we managed to win it over some of the big chains. We look after regulars and welcome any newcomers.

“I’d like to say a big thank you to anyone who voted for us.”
