For a proper chippy, Lewis's on The Strand in Newlyn is two miles away (evenings; order online to skip the queue). For pasties, try Jessie's Dairy in Mousehole or Aunty May's in Newlyn.
Newlyn, Cornwall's biggest fishing port, is two miles up the road, so the fish here is about as fresh as it gets.
