If you are looking for good old fish and chips, wrapped in paper, to eat by the seaside, then please bypass the numerous kebab and fast food eateries dotted along the main commercial streets in Bude. Instead, pop just off of the main street, tucked in a side road, to The Mermaid. I had a Cod and Chips, which I could barely even finish for a fiver, a fiver! Given the price of cod in most chips shops I have visited locally, I was amazed. Cheap, tasty, huge portions, exactly what I want in a chippie!

They also excel at that delicate balance between doting service and just bringing food out. Being here early in the season meant we were first to be seated for dinner, but if you're going to be here during the height of the season, book ahead - like two weeks ahead. The fish and chips I ordered were the best I've ever had, with the mashy peas tasting fresher than their name deserves. The breeding on the fish was perfectly crispy, which meant the fish inside was steamed to perfection. My dining companion's white crab linguine was also a work of art. Generous chunks of crab were steeped in a rich sauce to adhere perfectly to the pasta. Fortunately, she couldn't finish the plentiful portion, so I was enlisted to help. It was a happy duty. We were recommended a local cider, which was tasty and snappy without being overly sweet. I opted for a Guinness, which, when activated with the ultrasound exciter, brought out the full flavor of the brew, as well as the rich texture. We interacted with at least four members of the waitstaff, and found them each charming in their own way. Friendly, flavorful, and fun. What more could you ask for in a dinner experience?

These are made with a more traditional recipe that actually resembles and tastes like potato, rather than the ubiquitous, industrial, processed, fat-flavored French Fry that most seem to prefer these days. These chips are a lovely combination of soft and crisp, and far superior to Rick Stein's version, as far as I'm concerned.
