It’s divided people along geographical lines – online and in offices all over the city, including the Central Western Daily’s own office – as to where you go for your greasy, chippy feed.
People often show a preference for their local fish and chippery, dividing people in similar ways to the suburban football in Sydney or Melbourne, but there has to be one that’s the best.
WATCH: The Central Western Daily culinary team decide which fish and chips are the best.
There has to be.
So, as an excuse to eat a lot of fish and chips, we set out to find it, and we decided to try and video our findings to get back to you.
So, strap yourself in for a wild ride of over-analysing literally every facet of fish and chips, for bad jokes and even shonkier filming thanks to Max Stainkamph’s inability to concentrate on anything other than the smell of food.
And who was the winner?
We’d like to take the opportunity to spread our love for all those across Orange who put blood, sweat and chicken salt into doing God’s own work – creating fish and chips
After conducting an extensive poll to find the top three fish and chips places in Orange – we only had so much of a budget to conduct the experiment – the public decided on Stan’s, King’s and Mackie’s as the top three places in town.
Stan’s Takeaway, but a 2.5 point margin over King’s, with Mackie’s finishing behind them in a respectable third.
As for the nitty-gritty as to why, you’ll have to watch the video to find out more.
However, we’d like to take the opportunity to spread our love for all those across Orange who put blood, sweat and chicken salt into doing God’s own work – creating fish and chips.
Limiting to three – and ultimately finding a winner – was no easy task, and to be honest, keep supporting your local fish and chippery. There’s no such thing as bad fish and chips.

Formerly a sports specialist, I'm based at Orange and shift between wide-spread range of subjects here and, often, across the entire Central West region of NSW as well. I have almost a decade of experience in the media and marketing industries both here in Australia and internationally, along with journalism I have experience in content strategy, brand development, and digital and social media. Along the way, I've been fortunate to win a handful of media awards and be nominated for several others too.
