Chippy Smells of Chips Complaint

A West Yorkshire chip shop owner is being investigated after a complaint that his [chip]shop smells of fish and chips.

Owner of New Scarborough Fisheries in Wakefield, Steve Morton, was asked to check the odour extraction system was working properly after the complaint.

A spokeswoman for Wakefield Council said the authority was obliged to investigate the matter.

Mr Morton said he was shocked to get a letter about the investigation and had thought it was a joke.

"All I know is that we keep everything as clean as possible and to every standard that we should do," he said.

"I didn't think there was a problem. But I'm open to advice.

"If anybody can tell me how to make fish and chips not smell of fish and chips, I'm grateful."

A council spokeswoman explained however: "It is certainly not the case that a fish and chip shop should not be allowed to smell of fish and chips."
