    A new fish and chip shop is set to open in Knaresborough.

    Fish-a-rama is expected to begin serving customers at around Easter on the site of a former Chinese takeaway on York Place.

    Owner Aytach Sadik ran a fish and chip shop in London before moving to Harrogate 22 years ago.

    Since then he was been involved with Chico's and Bambino's takeaways in Harrogate.

    Mr Sadik said he had spent about £200,000 on the new family-run business, which he said will be a family business selling the best fish and chips around:

    "We will only use fresh fish. The quality isn't there with frozen fish. We will also serve grilled sea bass and bream on a barbecue."
    "Everything is brand new - from the electricity and gas to the fittings. We knocked it back to the bare walls."

    The family-run business is preparing to open.



    Mr Sadik said the business intended to apply for planning permission to open an outdoor seating area with a retractable roof on the large forecourt outside.

    In the meantime, customers will be able to take their orders and eat them at tables on the patio at the front.

    Mr Sadik, who is 67, is coming out of retirement for the venture. He said:

    "I did retire two years ago but it's just not for me. How many days can you play golf?"
