We got there a few hours before closing time and couldn't get a table right away - we were told to come back in an hour but we asked if it would still be possible to get their fish & chips. They asked how many of us would want it and all 5 of us did. Ha! Luckily, they were able to hold enough for us to come back once a table was open. The fish was perfectly crispy on the outside. The chips were tasty and the mushy peas were actually good which I wasn't expecting! I'd travel all the way back to England just for this meal at the Scallop Shell.

I saw a few people get the cod -- wish I'd tried that instead, even though the haddock was so good!! I really liked the mushy peas here; very rich!

Shortlisted for the Chip Shop of the Year (results in January 2010), this is a new shop that came…read moreabout when local Jason Honey was dismayed that his local chippie was closing down! That's dedication to the fish n chip cause that i can really support. Although the high counter seems a little off-putting, the staff are cheery and confident in their food. The chips are great - my boyfriend thinks they are a little greasy but I thought that was the best bit! Lots of flavour and taste. The fish was good as well. The only problem for me is that it closes quite early compared to the chippy in Fishponds where I often end up, and not open on Sundays.

This isn't the best fish & chip shop I have been to but it was still good food…read more The place itself is quite small but it does have seats inside and a few seats outside. It was the first time I have been there and there was a queue of people, which to me is always a good sign. Prices are pretty average for most fish & chip shops in the surrounding area, 2 battered sausage with chips is £3.50 so not too bad at all. The food was pretty good, like I said not to best but was still tasty. Although the curry sauce was quite bland. It's a family run business and all the staff were lovely and friendly. Worth a trip if you're in the area.

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. We went in the early evening in early Jan and it was pretty empty.

There is a casual single file queuing system that kind of snakes around the shop. You order and pay at the same time, then stand around for them to get through a bunch of orders at once. It does mean if you want something cooked special you will have to wait first in the queue and then wait again as they cook, so expect up to 10 minutes for things like haddock, chicken and some pies.

It's a big, clean and airy room with a nice and clear menu behind the till and an enticing display of pies and battered fishies on the go. The old favourite will set you back a touch more than a fiver (even more if you want mushy peas) but as we all know that's because we British went a tad bit berserk with the fishing in the 90s. Big fat steak and kidney pies, sausage rolls and bits of chicken are up for grabs should you want something else, all of which is, as with the fish and chips, very yummy indeed. They're flying the flag high and proud so do it justice and pop by sometime.

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!
