An artist has been sketching fish and chip shops along the East Coast as part of a project to celebrate the famous British favourite.<\/p>\n
Paul Digby has been to 12 restaurants in a collaborative project with poet Ian McMillan, with their work to be displayed in an exhibition at Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre next year.<\/p>\n
“It’s a celebration of working class communities and a staple British food,” said Digby.<\/p>\n
“No matter where you are, you know what you’re going for.”<\/p>\n
Digby has visited fish and chip shops including The Leaking Boot in Cleethorpes, Marina in Chapel St Leonards, Whitehead’s in Hornsea, and Newton’s in Patrington, Holderness.<\/p>\n
He has one more to visit, in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, to complete his mission from Northumberland to East Anglia.<\/p>\n
“There was a plethora of different stories people wanted to tell us about fish and chips,” he said.<\/p>\n
“In Cleethorpes it’s a religion and there’s a debate as to which is the best one.<\/p>\n
“We weren’t after a big thing \u2013 just engaging with communities.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An artist has been sketching fish and chip shops along the East Coast as part of a project…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":531547,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[307,304,305,306,308,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-531546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=531546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531546\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/531547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=531546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=531546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=531546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
