Chip shop investigated over 'fish and chips' smell

A chip shop owner is being investigated - because of a complaint that his shop smells of fish and chips, a council said today.

A spokeswoman for Wakefield Council said they were obliged to investigate the complaint about New Scarborough Fisheries in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, and had asked the owner to check that the odour extraction system was working properly.

Chip shop boss Steve Morton said he was shocked to receive a letter from environmental health staff which told him: "We are investigating a smell of fish and chips."

"You'd think they'd twig that a fish and chip shop smells of fish and chips. It's absolutely crazy."
