The best fish&chips takeaway in town. Fresh, great taste. Friendly service! You may face queues…read moresometimes (which is good sign though).

Absolutely love their food - not a soggy chip in sight, and lovely light and crispy batter. I've…read moreoften been known to get a bus or cab from West Swindon or Gorse Hill to here, and a cab home so that I can have the best fish and chips in town for dinner.

So much to my dismay, we haven't really found 'our' fish 'n' chip shop yet. Both in Bolton and…read moreSwindon... I guess I kind of took my previous chippies for granted! After finding that the restaurant we had planned to go to was closed while the owners were on holiday, I suggested fish and chips since I've been going through withdrawals. Honestly, just a whiff of one may have kept me until actually finding one to eat at. Frantically using our mobile phones, we found Trident Fish Bar and decided to give it a go. It is just in the town center surrounded by loads of restaurants, and could be easily missed! If you are driving, parking might be a bit tricky, but we parked on a street just off of Victoria Street. The shop is quite small, no seating inside, so strictly takeaway. The place is sparkly clean and the guy makes everything to order! So you get fresh, hot fish and chips! They have quite a menu including fish cakes, scampi, chicken, battered sausage, and items for vegetarians. They don't take cards, so make sure you have cash! I had the haddock with medium chips and Mr. Snarky had the cod with medium chips... and a battered sausage. When we ordered, the man behind the counter asked if we would like the dill batter. Interesting! We decided no, but I'd be happy to try it on another visit. It turns out that on Thursday night (not sure if they always do this) the regular batter is a gluten-free option! I think that is wonderful! Although, it would have been nice if they did allow you to choose between the gluten-free and the regular batter. The fish and chip portions are huge, although they can do a smaller portion of chips if you wish. We took our fish and chips to a park and have a little picnic. The chips are super thick and I really enjoyed them! I couldn't stop eating them, but they are so filling! The fish was delicious, the batter was ok. The consistency was a bit thicker than the regular batter, so if they could thin it down a bit so it isn't batter heavy would be great. However, it was super crispy, so that was a plus! One last little bit is that the batter did taste a bit different... perhaps a pinch of salt may have corrected it??? Don't know, but I think we have agreed that we would love to come back and try the regular batter... maybe even the dill batter. We may have found our chippy in Swindon!

We came here first thing when they opened, and the fish couldn't have been made any better. You…read moreget what you pay for, so I wouldn't come into a place like this with the expectation that you're eating at a fine dining establishment. This was GREAT hangover food from the night before. For the person who compared this to Log John Silvers, I'd say they must have still been drunk from the night before when they wrote their review...their review privileges should be revoked.

Never had a bad fish and chips from this place - not up to the quality of fish from the coast, like…read moreWhitby but easily the best in Swindon. For the American that down voted this place for loud music and being too bright - it's not normal for people to sit down in a fish and chip place, and those tables and chairs are supposed to be for while you wait. The servings are huge, the price is what you expect and I'd rather have a well lit place where you can see that its clean than a hygienic when I'm getting my food.
