Chip shop probed over 'fishy smell'
Tuesday November 7, 10:37 AM
Click to chip shop owner is being investigated - because of a complaint that his shop smells of fish and chips, a council has said.
A spokeswoman for Wakefield Council said they were obliged to investigate the complaint about New Scarborough Fisheries in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, and had asked the owner to check that the odour extraction system was working properly.
She said: "The law states we have to investigate the complaint. It is certainly not a case that fish and chip shops should not be allowed to smell of fish and chips."
The council said that if everything was in order, no further action would be taken.
Chip shop boss Steve Morton told The Sun newspaper he was shocked to receive a letter from environmental health staff which told him: "We are investigating a smell of fish and chips."
Mr Morton, 42, said the chip shop had been operating for 40 years without a problem.
He said: "You'd think they'd twig that a fish and chip shop smells of fish and chips. It's absolutely crazy."
He added: "Does the council want me to pay someone to stand outside with an air freshener? This is a waste of time and money."
