Once, upon opening the lush smelling bag, my life literally flashed before my eyes! I thought i had dies. Award winning, Amazingly perfect Albony fish shop holds a dear place in my grease covered heart. The one bit of beef i have with this place is the sheer amount of people, day in day out have exactly the same idea as myself to get their supper fix here. You've always got to queue but my bloody god is it worth it! (Like i said a piece of heaven in a box!) There's something super special about having your fish and chips in a box, like your getting a gift, which is pretty much what you are getting. Go on treat yourself, i'll see you there!

This is what I consider to be the best fish and chip shop in the Cardiff bay area. It's all to easy…read moreto be drawn into one of the franchises that are around thinking that you will get top quality fish and chips. The reality is that this small shop tucked quietly around the corner from Mermaid Quay offers the crispiest of batter and the best cooked chips you will find in this part of town. You may well find yourself queuing up outside the door for service but if that doesn't tell you something, when you get inside the door and see how well kept the food preparation areas are, and then you are greeted by the friendly staff who are clearly rushed off of their feet, you will notice that the prices are very reasonable. This is a locally owned store rather than a large franchise and the quality of the freshly cooked fish really shows the difference. If you're in the bay and want this kind of take away food then you should definitely make the 2 minute journey away from the bay to give them a try.

There has been much debate over the years as to Cardiff's best Fish & Chip shop. I heard a few when…read moreI first moved back and, dutifully, tried them all. And The Codfather is certainly my top pick. Punnage in the name aside (although I do love a good pun and the shop is all the more memorable when singing its praises than others) this fish and chip shop is fab in my mind because it does fantastic fish and chips. No gimmicks, no cult status, just really good fish and chips. There is usually a bit of a wait, but then that is because the fish is cooked freshly for you. The chips are good, and go well with their proper mushy peas - not too lurid green, but with just enough pea! The staff are always friendly, the place looks clean and there are always other people waiting, but not too many. They do seem to have quite an obsession with dolphins though! My only criticism? They charge you for tartare sauce and the last few times I've been in they've not had pickled onions. But then, that hasn't stopped me going back!

How could you not like a chippy that calls itself the Codfather? Thankfully, it lives up to its…read morename and is one of Cardiff's best fish and chip shops. I know a few people who will drive here from the other side of town rather than settle for their less distinguished local chippy. You can spot the Codfather a mile off thanks to its bright blue exterior, and inside it's clean and tidy. They buy their plaice, cod and haddock from local suppliers whenever they can, and it always seems to be covered in consistently good batter, both crisp and fresh. The chips are equally good, and all these are fried to order except at the very busiest of times.

I can honestly say that the fish and chips in Five Star are the best I've ever had, and if I ever…read moreleave Cardiff I'll be lost without them! The staff are all incredibly friendly and always ask how I am when I come in (always nice to be remembered). If you're not a Fish and Chips addict like myself they also do the usual chip shop fare e.g. meat pies, battered sausage, kebabs etc... And if that's not enough Five star also recently featured in an episode of Gavin and Stacey, and a photo of James Cordon and Ruth Jones (in costume) with the staff is proudly displayed on the wall. Taking all of that into consideration I really have no choice but to give Five Star, five stars!

Quantity and price are good and so is the service. Fish is usually as far as I know fried to order so you get a nice piece of freshly fried fish while you wait unless you order over the phone which I think is possible.

Chips - Awesome chips that are perfectly cooked and fried with a very aromatic flavour. I don't know what oil they use but it definitely works! Fish - Good size and perfectly cooked every single time. Their batter is also great I've also had their Lamb Curry and the lamb was fall apart and beautifully cooked. --- Keep in mind that this is consistent. I've ordered from Rock & Malt many times (too many, I'm ashamed to count!) and they have never failed me once in terms of consistent quality.

I'd also recommend the in-house tartare sauce which is divine. Basically everythings cooked as it should be - batter is golden and crispy. Oh and did I mention the cod is flippin' huge?! Haven't tried the home made curries yet but am hearing good things about em. What a difference from the old Pete's Plaice that used to be here. These guys are creating quite a stir and so glad that a decent chippy has come into the area. Awesome.

The sign above McGinley's reads; 'McGinley's World Famous Fish and Chips'. Now, I'm not sure about…read morethe 'world famous' bit, but I know that this particular fish and ship shop is pretty well known in Cardiff... and I guess that this is all that matters... I can't imagine that fish and chips travel so well! I guess that the 'world famous' claim has got more to do with appearances than anything else. It certainly lends this really well presented fish and chip shop an air of superiority, and is in keeping with the look of the place. Unlike so many of the other fast food outlets in the area, McGinley's have opted to paint their shop front in black gloss, as opposed to the really bright colours that are often chosen by the others. There are no flashing lights, neon signs and a plethora of signs and notices here! Inside it's a similar story. McGinley's have opted to keep things simple but classy. They have a state of the art stainless steel serving counter and a tiled waiting area where you can stand and watch your dinner being made. All of the fish is cooked to order, and so is always really crispy and fresh. McGinley's is a popular choice for families and students. They do a Jumbo Fish option that is a particular favourite. The pieces are so huge that they can be shared, making the prices eminently affordable.
