I love the decor- very mythical fishermen with posters for movies and wanted signs. They have an extensive menu, including alcohol and their cider comes in 500ml bottles. I've been told it's quite expensive in local standards but for the atmosphere it's worth it. I'd like to give a shoutout to one of the chefs. We had shown up here and the hostess had said they were not taking any one without a reservation. But there were open tables. Disappointed, we walked out. Standing in front of the restaurant, trying to figure out what to do, the cook comes out and says they will make room for us. Absolutely the sweetest. We were so stoked to eat at this place again. He even brought out tasty food out to us himself!

My haddock and chips and Sam's cod and chips were freshly made and really good. Our waitrees gave us friendly service and was attentive.

The meat of the fishes were both really tender (haddock and the cod). You get a huge portion for the large size and even the small cod I got seemed pretty big. They use a gluten free batter for the fish which was pretty unique and tasty. They use rapeseed oil for frying which is also gluten free. I really don't care for gluten free food but would prefer this batter over the traditional ones which seemed less heavy! The scampi uses a traditional batter which was heavier but still pretty good. Their fries are thick and has a great texture. The fries does not feel oily. Looks like they have two locations: wapping wharf (which is closer to the city and new) and chew valley. This one is located inside a street of small store on the left and door is usually closed and you have to slide it open so be on the lookout for the name of the restaurant on the window. We parked on the street. Definitely worth a try!

Im not all out of faith though with my old chip shop The Westbourne Chippy. Its just that its a Tuesday and it was inconveniently shut. And now im affraid to say I think ive cheated on them with another chipper. Its not my fault I was hungry and I had no choice. The Star Fish Bar was a good choice though ! And a by chance one at that! I have just enjoyed a fantastic cod and chips. Freshly cooked and with so many chips I have had to undo the top button on my shorts for fear of popping it off. I have to say the cod is on a par with the best of anything I've ever had. The chips are also lovely. But its the curry sauce thats going to bring me back. Its blooming superb. They also have a selection of burgers and keebabs but I didnt pay to much attention to them. And they also sell oi oi Savaloys what ever they are, some sort of sausage maybe ? They're very competitively priced. We both stuffed ourselves silly for tenner. And the service was very prompt and with a smile ! I shall be returning.

I don't usually buy chips though - the portion size is way too much for me, so it's largely a waste of money. Can't understand why you can't buy just a small portion of chips at a reduced price. One scoop of chips at say, £1 which is something I would like to see.

This was my third visit to Noah's because, y'know, I just needed to check the first tow weren't a…read morefluke. Happy to report, this is a seriously good restaurant. Noah's sits on Spike Island in a fairly bleak setting. It's also shaped like an arc. If you can get past these two things you're in for a treat. To call Noah's a fish and chip restaurant would be underselling it massively. Yes they do very nice fish and chips indeed but there's plenty more in the locker here. And it seems to me that everything they do here is done with care and love and attention to detail. From the outside it's not promising. Essentially the restaurant sits underneath what I'd describe s a small fly over and there's nothing around it except a municipal car park and an air of desolation. But then you look at what they've built, how they've fit the space, you get an idea of that care and love. Beautifully put together wood panelling which contrasts completely with the concrete that surrounds it. They've put a lot thought and energy into this. Inside has real warmth. Modern wood panelling, exposed iron struts, nice metal lampshades and simple comfy stools and benches. Smooth wooden floors. The carpenters have earned their corn for sure. Swedish summer house vibes. Smart and stylish but friendly, a lovely balance. The welcome is also warm. Confident young staff put us at ease very quickly and guide us to our table across the open plan floor where we plot down and have a good old look round. It's buzzy. Plenty of chatter. A good cross section of people. Young, old, families, a couple soon to be a family. Bristol's eclectic and so are the clientele here. Nose rings and DMs dine next to pearly necklaces and brogues but one thing they all agree on is Noah's is great. The menu is simple and there's nothing on it I don't want. Passionate as they are about 'showcasing the best of British seafood', we all go our separate ways in order to have our hake and eat it.. Fish and chips can be either cod, haddock or hake. Cod it is for a growing student who is thinking as much about how many calories he can get in as he is about taste. Me on the other hand, my body's a temple. Sea bass fillet on a bed of cherry tomatoes. If the missus sees sole with brown butter and capers all the other words on the menu simply disappear. Starters are begging to be sampled. Each mussel that makes up mussels in white wine, butter and parsley is plump and juicy. Shells are scrubbed clean and glistening. Details. A sprig of parsley offsets it all nicely. Care. Salt cod croquette sits in a small pool of beautiful tomato confit with a blob of aioli atop and a peashooter garnish. Pretty as a picture but not so much so that we don't devour. The acid with the unctuous, the crispy with the fluffy, the red and the cream. It's all working brilliantly and one feels it's more by design than luck. Confit tuna belly on sourdough has crunch and oily softness and the diced tomato adds zing. Scallops come with a proper crust and paddle away happily in garlic and herb butter. Expertly done all four. Note. Only three of us dining but four starters ordered. Greedy, yes. But a delight every one and just the right size to excite us for round two. Main courses are every bit as good as the starters. Again, love and care in evidence in each dish including the fish and chips. The crispy, thin beer batter does its job wonderfully, steaming the generous cod fillet within. Chips are thick cut and unapologetically chip shop like, just what the doctor ordered. Home made tartare sauce sets the whole thing off very nicely indeed and adds a touch of class. The sea bass looks a treat. Proper size. lightly burnished skin, bright red cherry tomatoes below to cut through the olive oil and butter dressing. Chips are ordered on the side to add ballast but not ruin the picture. Sole has been dusted in flour, fried confidently with the skin staying largely intact but with white flesh popping through in places. Capers settle atop and the whole fish is bathed in a nicely browned butter sauce. You don't need photography skills to make this look good. We order a sticky toffee pudding to share simply as an excuse to stay here longer. Rather like the sole, the sponge bathes in a tasty toffee sauce. A brave bitterness in the dish to offset the sweetness. A nice sphere of ice cream and a little mint. The pudding isn't an afterthought. Love, care, attention lavished on something that might otherwise seem ubiquitous. We stay and drink more wine. Why wouldn't you? When we finally prise ourselves out of the place we look back at the building and there's much to appreciate. Love, care and attention in every corner. If there's a better restaurant in Bristol, I'd love to know where.

It sounds like such a simple thing to make some chips, but to keep up a good standard that everyone expects and keep giving a chip that will taste the same whatever time of day, in whatever month and year is pretty good. I shall swing by a year from now (probably next week to be honest!) and see if the chips still taste as good as I remembered.
