THE competition to reel in votes for Tasmania’s best fish and chips is hotter than the oil in the deep-fryer.

The Fish Van in Triabunna is currently leading the Mercury’s online poll but there are four other businesses just behind.

Fish Van owner Cara Wilson said people came from all over for their delicious offerings with plenty of visiting mainlanders seeking out their seafood van.

“A lot of people come up and say you’re the best fish and chips,” she said.

The van’s busiest period starts in November, and Ms Wilson said there can sometimes be an hour and a half waiting period.

“If you want the best, you’ve gotta wait,” she said.

“We don’t have a bain marie, we cook fresh while you wait.”

The search for the state’s best fish and chips is part of the Mercury’s new Best of Tasmania series.
