North Bay Fisheries — Restaurant in England

Been visiting here atleast once a month for years but the latest visit left us very disappointed. Usually we order 3 regular fish and chips but due to the menu board saying only small and jumbo fish available i ordered 3 small, only to notice just after ordering it states in very small writing 'regular when available' so i asked if they had regular and could i change my order, they had literally only managed to serve the person behind me it was that quick. The request was passed on to the guy frying and wow to say he didn't seem pleased would be an understatement, because he had already put the small fish in the fryer? Awkward. Either you can change the order or not no need to act like i was trying to con the place. Thankfully the girl who was serving me said she could alter the order as people came in and ordered small fish and asked me to give it a minute or two. A few minutes passed and she called me over and asked for a further £13? I asked why is it that much for 3 regular over 3 small fish and she said they are jumbo? I said i asked for regular and she said regular are jumbo? I said i didn't want 3 jumbo as we have had jumbo previously and they are usually very big? So i said I'd take 2 jumbo as we could just share the fish out. All good until we came to share out the fish, we have been to this fish ship many times and i can confidently say the fish where no bigger than the usual regular (one maybe smaller) and no way jumbo! I understand people can have off days and i also understand prices everywhere have gone up but selling regular fish as jumbo resulting in 2 normal portions of fish and chips for £30 is way overpriced. Servers tried their best though....

Good, but not great and very expensive. Went here after reading some reviews and thought this place was going to be great. The large queue prior to the 1630 opening only heightened our expectations. Unfortunately it didn’t quite live up to its reputation. We had 3 medium fish, chips and peas and a single bottle of water. Over £40. Now I don’t mind paying and generally believe you get what you pay for but I don’t feel here that it represented particularly good value. The fish was a bit too greasy and chips were a bit bland. It certainly wasn’t poor, it just wasn’t that good. I usually try seek out good chippies when at the coast and am rarely disappointed but for this one I would say it won’t live long in the...

3 of us went last night for the 1st time, just before closing time (8) the queue was out the door, always a good sign. We were hungry and asked for the large fish supper; thankfully they only had medium fish suppers left. Omg we were served with the largest fish supper ever (2 fish pieces), if that's a medium, what in heaven's name is a large; a whale?!

My advice skip lunch and maybe breakfast when you go, not only large portions but deliciously battered fish and generous portion of chips provided. Amazing!

Return visit one year later (I live in Scotland!), just as remembered, queue out of the door, amazing portion size, very reasonable price and great fresh taste. Get there early...
