This one seemed far enough away from the pier to be successful and had across the board good reviews. So glad we checked this place out. Very much a neighbourhood pub, on a plain street (thought we may be in the wrong area actually..) Beer selection was good and the food was excellent. We tried a few things amongst our group - no complaints. Would happily return here anytime. Kinda sad somewhere like this is so popular - it'll just get busier with all these good reviews..

My wife and I ordered the fish and chips, and a salad with falafel, and a decaf coffee and…read moresparkling water. Both the fish and the falafel were not fully cooked; the crust on the fish was soggy, the fish was undercooked , and the falafel was primarily gooey. We ate some but rapidly lost our appetites, so I told our waitress that we couldn't eat it. She came back awhile later and said that the salad with the falafel was removed from our bill, so I paid and left as soon as I could... after paying for the fish and chips and two drinks. We left feeling hungry as we didn't eat the salad or the fish, and very disappointed after paying the bill, we didn't want to spend more money on our lunch. Not wanting to return, I decided that I'd write a review to hopefully save others from the disappointment and disgust that my wife and I experienced.

This is a clean and modern take on what is a most unclean of British traditions, gone are the newspapers wrapped around soggy and cold chips, The Daily Catch brings you a good meal for a good price. I bought regular chips and battered cod, which cost me just over £4. That is pretty good, especially considering how much an alternative takeaway would cost elsewhere. The staff are also pretty friendly, which makes me a bigger fan once more.

As a person who doesn't go to Brighton often I had a quick look on Yelp and zillions of fish places came up. Eventually someone in the group suggested this place as we were only looking for somewhere to take our food with us. We turned up and ordered a lot of fish. I was surprised that they actually cooked the fish that time and it wasn't already cooked and placed under heaters as in London. Eventually this resulted in crispy batter that didn't separate much from the fish and nice, flaky cod that kept its texture throughout. The squid was brilliant, I could eat a ton of that. It felt like it was deep fried in butter and it wasn't elastic or chewy at all. Chips were typical chip shop fare. Pretty good.

I am currently sitting in the restaurant eating Fish and Chips as a I write this. The fish is so crispy but so fresh on the inside and the french fries are perfect. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great spot to just grab some quick food. We were the only Americans in the restaurant, the rest of the guests seemed to be locals so that must be a good sign. Waitstaff was incredibly nice and the food came out very fast. Would come again!

Buddies is open all night. I'll just let that sink in: all night. You cannot review Buddies like…read moreother restaurants: it is literally open all night. You can walk in off the street at 3 in the morning, order mussels in a garlic and cream sauce, and finish that bottle of Pinot as the sun comes up: a unforgettable experience for so many reasons. The chief reason to go to Buddies is the fabled Buddies all-nighter: grab some friends, head to Buddies at a reasonable hour, and don't leave until the morning traffic has subsided. This is bloody marvellous, for easedropping potential if nothing else: the people who frequent are an eclectic and wonderful bunch. Last time I did this, a man punched a woman over a dog, some drunk students threw up on each other, and a man proposed only to be unsurprisingly turned down. What do you expect? It's on the seafront, it's open all night: who are they gonna attract? Drunk people and insomniacs, and neither really wants to be there. The menu is huge: most of it is awful. Stick to chips and well-cooked to avoid a premature end to your all-nighter. And if you've been clubbing, and want to stay up, pop in here to end the night with a more sanitary alternative to the kebab dripping down your shirt on the long, meandering walk home.

I don't have fish and chips very often, but when I do have some as a treat, they're always from bankers express. My only qualm with this place is that they seem to manage to get something wrong with my order every single time I go there. Most recently they let a couple that had just walked in to the chippy walk off my mine and my boyfriends fish and chips that we had waited for over ten minutes for. On top of that when we finally DID get our food and got home, they'd put 3 portions of mushy peas in our bag, instead of 2 x peas and a curry sauce. The mushy peas / curry sauce fiasco happens EVERY time we go there, and for that reason I cannot give bankers 5 stars!

I got told chips in the south aren't as nice because they're not cooked in lard but this place does them spot on. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Really quick service, too. The girl who served us was a bit hostile but the chips were so good that it didn't really matter.

The tables are laid with place mats and food is served in seventies stainless steel serving trays. A new pine bar has been installed in the last couple of years which admittedly brings this section of the restaurant into the 80's. Aside from the decor (which I actually like I hasten to add) the food is absoultely fantastic and so much cheaper that some more pretentious fish restaurants in the town. A full shellfish platter for two (including a whole lobster and a whole crab) is around £45. And it is delicious. Or you can go for the more traditional fish and chips. If you have room after there is a wide selection of (really old fashioned) deserts. The staff are lovely and make you feel so welcome. The views out to the sea are unrivaled. Definitely earns it's 5 stars in my book !

And in our…read morecase this was the second choice as the first restaurant we wanted was fully booked, but honestly, I don't mind and I am glad the first place was book as this restaurant was excellent. The layout is a bit dated but don't let that fool you, with a view of the beach across the street this is a lovely place to have dinner. My girlfriend and I both had grilled fish options. I went with the Salmon and she had the Sea Bass. Both were delicious, although hers was looking up at her with sad dead eyes. We also had some shrimp as an appetizer that was excellent. The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is that we went in August of 2020 (the era of COVID) and the waitress and others working at the restaurant were not properly wearing masks. The waitress had one on, that she would pull down when talking to us so as to be heard better. Making the mask pointless

The chips were hard, too brown, insufficiently salted, and had a "leftover grease" taste. The fish was dry, coated thickly in batter that wasn't light and didn't seem fresh. Could it have arrived at the restaurant frozen? The tartare sauce was nice. The curry sauce was fine - but it's difficult to ruin curry sauce. My mushy peas had little discernible flavor, but too be fair, I barely had a bite: while these peas looked as though they'd been mushy at one point in their journey to my plate, they had now hardened and solidified, and were crusty and drained of moisture. Pretty awful. After the YouTube videos and the raves on Trip Advisor and Google, I am genuinely mystified about the disconnect. The final icing on the cake was the price. Haddock and chips here is more expensive than at the infinitely superior Golden Union in London. Quite sad to have wasted my sister-in-law's money on this atrocious meal.
