Bertie's General Manager, Leandro Crolla said: "Easter is going to be a choc-fest for plenty of people and at Bertie's we wanted to introduce the latest deep fried craze to our customers. Since opening in December we have become Edinburgh's most popular fish and chip restaurant and its only right that over Easter, deep fried creme eggs are available on our menu."
