Great food. Terrific service. Our go to for a quick meal with options for everyone- including the vegans?

So, fish (especially fishy fish) is pretty much my culinary kryptonite. It had been decades since I had been out for "fish and chips". I would rarely try a bite of someone else's order. My response usually ranged from indifference to active dislike. So, when my friends in England suggested fish and chips at Shakey Shakey, my expectations were rather low. Boy, was I ever pleasantly surprised. Every order here is accompanied by a simple lettuce and parsley salad (nice), tomato and cucumber salad (tasty), and cooked onions in a balsamic and oil sauce with spices (frickin' amazing). We also had some sides that included a mildly spicy sausage, pickled onion, mushy peas, and gherkin. All were good. The chips (fries) were tasty, and there were an abundance of them, but I wish I had asked for them to be cooked extra crispy. I had a bite of my friend's haddock. It had good flavor and very good texture. My cod, however, was a blank canvas upon which the very essence of "fish-n-chips" was painted in masterful strokes. It was cooked perfectly, with flaky flesh and crispy batter. The favors were mild, yet thoroughly enjoyable. It was served searingly hot from the fryer, and was as close to perfect as this non-fish aficionado could possibly want. I had expected to tolerate this dish, instead it was the best of its kind I have ever enjoyed. The owner and family were wonderfully friendly. The service was excellent. All this, and pricing that was more than reasonable. read more

We had all been looking forward to some sea side fish and chips and this place did not disappoint! The women behind the counter (probably the owners) answered all of our questions about the kinds of fish. We ordered 4 medium pieces of cod and 2 large chips for 6 of us and it was way more than enough. One large chips would have been perfect. They make it fresh when ordered and it was light and flakey. They also put special in house seasoning on the chips, which was the perfect amount of seasoning and brought out the flavor. You will not regret the short stroll from the beach to reach this place. Just delish! read more

When you're celiac it's probably impossible to ever eat fish and chips again. We've been at different places in the UK and nearly gave up hoping. But today everything changed when we found Shakey Shakey!!! The name comes from a delicate mix of spices the owners invented. They've got a huge gluten free menu (beside the usual menu) and it nearly offers as much as the regular menu. The owners are heartwarming and kind, they know about the difficulties with celiacs, so they use different oil and care and think about everything. The place is very neat and clean and if you are really looking forward for some excellent fish and chips (which in my opinion has to be oily!) you should really go there! read more

Shakey Shakey - Happy celiac with gluten free king prawns and chips and vice versa glutenfree cod with three different dips. - Fish & Chips Near Me - Ramsgate, KEN

Shakey Shakey, Ramsgate - a fish and chip shop that offers gluten and wheat free batter should be mentioned somewhere. So, I decided to write about it. Like every other fish and chip shop in the country, the menu has no surprises; it boasts the frying smell you expect outside, luckily was not too strong once inside. It is in every way your typical chippy - available to eat in or takeaway. A clean environment. Freshly out from the deep fryer, the batter was light and super crispy. Lovely! But, I find that the fish and chips were quite oily. Service was fantastic and people were really friendly. This was not a coincidence because we looked it up before travelling to Ramsgate. Naturally, fish and chips was a must since we were visiting a fishing town. Other fish and chip shops were closed and only Shakey Shakey's was opened on Boxing Day. It has a reputation of having good fish and chips but we thought that the oiliness of the fish was not great. read more

I ate here months ago and haven't had the chance to go back. I went during one of the vegan nights that they do and the vegan battered black pudding was nicer than any animal based black pudding I've ever had. D E L I C I O U S !!
