Yes, it’s that time of year again - Good Friday. And it means only one thing, fish and chips!
Everyone will have their favourite spot, but this week royalty chose theirs, as the Princess Royal visited Colmans Seafood Temple.
We have 13 of the tastiest memories of Colmans as we put the South Tyneside fish and chip favourite in the news once more.
Have a look at these Shields Gazette archive memories from 2008 to 2024, showing everything from spaceship-shaped chips to the day Keith Chegwin called in.
