Few people I know told me to visit Harry Ramsden's for their famous Fish & Chips so I brought my…read moreniece & nephew for lunch. We went as soon as they opened so the place was not busy. The place was huge and lots of tables and the staff was friendly and approachable. We've ordered the Cod Fish & Chips and was very happy. The fish actually smells good and very delicious with crispy batter and tender hot meat. The potato chips were also very good and the small cuts were actually crispy. I find the Americano Coffee too strong for me even after pouring all the milk.

I love this place, it's an Eastbourne institution!…read more Qualisea is a traditional full service fish and chip restaurant with a takeaway counter. The restaurant has a licenced bar if you fancy a pint with your meal, bizzarely it has a tiled roof despite being indoors. It has a very old fashioned feel to it (no credit cards accepted) but this adds to the charm in my view. Its always spotlessly clean and the service is always efficient and friendly, even when the place is busy. I get the impression most of the staff have been doing this a while and it shows. The food is traditional seaside fare, battered fish and chips, scampi, mushy peas, beans etc. They also serve old school desserts such as peaches and ice cream and black forest gâteau. This is my first choice for sit down fish and chips in Eastbourne. A classic!

We have been regular customers of Favo'Loso for over 10 years. Our last meal experience was so…read moredisastrous that we decided to never eat at that restaurant again. On Friday 25 July, like I had many times before, I ordered fish and chips, but this time the fish I was served smelled off, giving an abnormal oversalty stench. Upon returned the fish - which in my opinion was unsafe to eat - the manager came to our table to assure me the fish was 'fresh from the morning'. He proceeded to dismiss my claim by telling me that the reason that fish smelled different was because 'it is not frozen fish', thereby arrogantly insinuating that I was unfamiliar with fresh fish. As for this condescending theory, I would like to point out that I was born and grew up by the sea and have had more fresh fish in my life than most people. As such, I believe I am more than competent to distinguish a fresh fish from one gone bad. I am a kind and forgiving customer, but I certainly do not appreciate being gaslighted in such a blatant manner. I understand food can sometimes go off, but it certainly should not be served to customers, and if it is returned, it should be checked thoroughly. Instead of taking the matter personally, the manager should have apologised (which he didn't), properly checked the food returned (which I guarantee he did not either, unless he is the one who never had fresh fish in his life (sic!) - and offered a replacement. Instead, he saw fit to raise his voice so as to be heard by the surrounding tables and told me he didn't see what he could do about it. Really? I am also writing this review to serve as a legal anchor in case someone was served the same 'fresh' fish on or around that day and has had symptoms of indigestion - or, god forbid, worse. Last but not least, and for reference: according to Live Science, a strong, fishy or "salty" smell in fish can be a sign of bacterial growth and spoilage, indicating that the fish is no longer safe to eat. As fish begins to spoil, bacteria break down natural compounds like trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) into trimethylamine (TMA), which is responsible for the characteristic "fishy" or ammonia-like odor. That is exactly the fish I was served.

It's good though. Not gourmet, but a massive selection of pastries, snacks and drinks. I got a vanilla milkshake and it was a proper one - made with ice cream and really delicious. Followed it up with a coffee which was decent too, and everything's very reasonably priced. It's counter service, but since it was quiet they brought everything over for us which was nice. All in all, nothing spectacular, but definitely worth a visit if you're hungry or thirsty - and it's near the seafront too.
