Having walked past this chippy every day, I thought I'd try it as we had unexpected visitors and it was a bit late to cook (my excuse and I'm sticking to it) We had cod n chips, served with a slice of lemon and home made tartare sauce. The sauce, wow, it elevated the fish n chips and they were delicious to start with. Served in a cardboard box, the portions were generous, the cost was both reasonable and fair especially as it was all cooked fresh to order. The fish was amazing, very moist. the batter was just right, not too thick/thin and complimented the thick piece of perfectly cooked fish inside. Chips tasted pretty good too, golden colour with a hint of a crisp outside with fluffy inside. There was a small queue when I arrived and apparently that's the norm as the shop cooks everything to order so nothing is left under the counter lights to be served dry!
They have a great range of fresh fish options, catch of the day being one of them, cant wait to try the hake! Chicken nuggets are proper pieces of chicken breast battered in their own batter in store, not the usual cheap frozen efforts that are passed off as nuggets. A great menu - the best fish and chip shop I've ever seen or used, and so said my unexpected guests!
I have since discovered they do have a website (I'm a bit of a techno phobe, so wont be using it myself) You can order online and collect at a time to suit you. My friends said they would definitely recommend doing that as this place gets very busy and after tasting the food, it's easy to see why. Great food, great prices, happy , helpful staff.
This is definitely going to be my...
Read moreAfter arriving at Fishguard I quickly looked up where to go for fish and chips and read some reviews. Hooked @31 came up.
Now in the area there are some strong scores so I was not sold by the rating and thought I'd do a "footfall" test first. This is to sit outside and see how many people go in and out.
Well people were like ants. Shooting in and shooting out.
So I went in and ordered 2 fish boxes, one with Cod and one with Haddock. I also ordered the cheese and onion fritter.
Now they came with mushy peas (you could have chosen something else), tartar sauce and a wedge of lemon.
We drove down to Fishguard dock to eat them which was about 4 mins away.
The food is amazing and well worth the reviews. The fish is perfectly battered and the chips were amazing. The fish was so fresh and flavoursome and the portion size was just right.
It's one of the best I've had so I would...
Read moreAmazing fish and chips, with every Saturday GLUTEN FREE special. Staff is incredibly nice, welcoming and knowledgeable about all their products. Fish is great, haddock and MSc certified Cod (even if I rather not eat cod as the stock is really low, something certification can't change as of now). Fish batter both regular and gluten free were super crisp and light, with a great flavor. Onion rigs were superb and very fresh. They also have ice-cream but haven't tried it. Looks great though.
Get ur fish and walk 100m to the view point with the cannons, where there are benches and tables to eat your fish and chips with a view. All in all amazing experience, especially in a winter sunny day.
Ps. Across the road you can buy a beer, cider or a locally roasted hot coffee at the "gourmet pig" to compete the meal or before the...
