A YORK chippy claim to have unleashed the spiciest portion of fish and chips the world has ever seen.

Miller's Fish & Chips in Haxby which scooped the Fish and Chip Shop of the Year Award at the 2018 National Fish & Chip Awards, developed the delicious yet bonkers batter in December last year, perfecting both its taste and potency by trying it out on their kitchen team and loyal customers.

The fish is coated in a specially made spice mix complete with Seabrook Crisps ‘Fire Eaters’, the hottest crisps available for sale in the UK.

Launched late last year, Fire Eaters left many online reviewers unable to finish a full packet.

Millers owner Nick Miller and his dad / co-owner David didn’t stop there though with Fire Eaters making up a tenth of the spice.

The boys will be asking customers to sign a waiver before sampling the scorching hot supper.

The batter contains ten eye-wateringly spicy ingredients:

• Seabrook Fire Eaters Scorchin’ Hot Trinidad Scorpion Chilli Crisps

• Hot Chilli Powder

• Dried Red Birds Eye Chillies

• Cayenne Pepper

• Hot Paprika

• Chilli Flakes

• Chipotle Chilli Flakes

• Ancho Chilli Flakes

• Buffalo Hot Sauce

Nick said: “As well as serving the official best fish & chips in the UK, it’s important to offer something a bit different now and again. When we saw the reaction to the Fire Eaters crisps online, we thought it could be interesting to see how they would translate into a batter mix.

“What we’ve ended up with is a battered fillet which tastes incredible but is ridiculously spicy, and I’m slightly scared to see what happens when we put it on the menu. We’ve already tried it out with a few customers who said they were lovers of spicy food and they were blown away by the heat. Those who order will have to sign a piece of paper to say they don’t hold us responsible for what might happen when they take a bite. Good luck to anyone who wants to try it out!”
