I gave a telephone order and this was ready for me when I arrived 10 minutes later. My Battered Cod and Breaded Place was well fried; good quality and reasonably priced. Recommended; I usually am a customer outside the most busy periods. Well used by locals.

What a delicious, delicious pun! And fortunately the food of this chip shop are delicious go with…read morethat wonderful name that the business has. Whoever named this place needs saluted, as in Northern Ireland I feel that only for cod and Ulster is a superior chip shop name! The chip shop is nice and clean on the inside which is something I always look out for when I go to a chip shop. The main time that I went here in the past is when I have been waiting to get the bus back into Belfast after a harsh day of work at Asda and I was heading into town o let off some steam! I have had a delicious crispy cod from here, as well as juicy and tender chicken goujons. There is the usual range of chip shop products that are all reasonably priced, but this place goes further than most chip shops as it offers filled sodas, bacon butties, filled sub rills and free tea and coffee when you buy certain items!

I'd read some glowing reviews of this fish & chip shop so I kept it in mind. I don't eat this food…read morevery often now but I did eat a lot of it in my early teens, but that's a whole other story. So pulled up into the car park, two degrees outside and 'are we human or are we dancer' coming out of the radio as I turned off the engine. First duty was into a nearby supermarket for a soft white bread pan. When it's fish n chips it has to be tea, bread and lots of butter. A good sprinkling of salt on the fish n chips too. Carbs, animal fats and hardly a healthy calorie in sight. So into the chip shop to a friendly welcome from a man, certainly didn't look like Paula but it's a funny old world so I thought better than to ask. Two fish and chips please (or as we used to say: two fish suppers) £11.60 was required. I checked it was cod and he almost seemed taken aback at my question - he said, 'of course'. I waited a bit pleased that the food was being cooked to order. The portions of cod were huge, with fresh, white chunky and skinless meat. If you aren't sure how fresh cod tastes try it here as it's very fresh. I thought each chip portion was a tad mean but once home and in the plate it was generous enough. The food is cooked in beef dripping. There is no substitute good enough, groundnut, peanut, rapeseed, olive, corn oils none come close. The batter was towards thin and I like that, and to be fair the food sat in a take out bag until I got home and put out the plates and do on. Despite this the food was excellent, perfectly good food and still quite warm. A chip buttie was a must. Now I've eaten some of the finest foods on earth but I gotta tell ya the taste of a white soft pan bread chip buttie with a bit of salt and a generous slap of butter is wonderful made all the better with hot tea. The glowing reviews are right, it's a great place. The next time I want very good fish & chips I know where to go. Maybe next time I'll sit in and have it at its very best. Who knows now that oil prices have fallen the prices here should drop too.

Wow! What a delight!!! When in Ireland, traditional fish and chips is a must!…read more On New Years Eve, I made a spontaneous decision to choose fish and chips over my Jenny Craig lentil dish. Im sure no one can blame me. When you walk into this little restaurant, you are walking up to a counter and ordering your dinner. They have 14 varieties of chips, priced from £2.20 (small chips)up to £4.60 (taco chips with bolognese and cheese). There are four varieties of fish (i got the fresh battered haddock at £3.60) and fries and gravy for £3.40). The fish and chips were delicious. The gravy was bland (hence the 4 stars instead of 5). The serving was extremely generous. This isnt the best fish and chips I ever had, but I would put it easily in the top 3.

From the owner: What do we mean by reinventing fish & chips?…read more It means going back to the times when fresh, locally sourced ingredients where the norm and when cooking from fresh was the only way. While also looking to the future by adding new twists to old classics, inventing new dishes, or catering for wheat intolerances. We aim to take the best from how it used to be and combine it with the best of today and tomorrow. Reinventing doesn't happen overnight - it is an ongoing process and it signifies our commitment to continuous improvement of the service we offer.

We've been critical of here in past reviews and returned yesterday 1 March 24 for the first visit…read morein a long time. It's only a take away so no ambiance to speak to. We got cod & chips pension specials and the battered fish which was real tasty was thin in 3 of the 4 nuggets. Honestly make it 2 or 3 nuggets and make the fish a bit thicker as batter should never out proportion the fish. Chips were perfection again the portion isn't generous. Gas prices have fallen electricity prices are going to drop and yes I know it's still dearer for everything but prices were increased benched in prices at their highest but costs have receded. We will return more often as its quality seems to be there. Staff are always very friendly.

Great place that should deserve a lot more attention…read more A little difficult to find, and definitely need a second pair of eyes... The outside of this place was an industrial-looking building that nobody would have thought it's a fish n chips place. Parking was TIGHT! So be warned!! The moment you walked in, it gave out an old harbor diner feel (not sure if that's how you describe it)... Tile flooring, straight 90-degree wooden booths. They have both takeout and dine-in service, so we decided to enjoy the moment and sat in for our fishy. Most of the items have both regular size or what they called a "supper" size, which just means more on the chips... or fries for us North Americans. We ordered the classic Fresh Battered Fish and a Pastie (huh?) As you wait for the goodies, you could hear the sound of fish or chips being fried, that's really music to my ears! The fish was LONG! Fried to perfection with minimal batter, just the way it's supposed to be to showcase the main character- FISH! Despite ordering the regular fish n chips, the portion of the fries was perfect for us... those fries were THICK CUT and the size of my thumb!! And then, our mystery Pastie arrived. My first thought was "a flatten ball of..." FISH PASTE and potato (pure guesses on the potato part, not 100% sure). It was a very interesting fried loveliness for us... it tasted a little like those Asian fish sausages with onions. Overall, CHEAP and WORTH THE DRIVE! Both of these combined were only GBP 8 something (about CAD$13)! If you ordered the exact same thing back home, the fish n chips along already cost more than $13.

Absolutely Awful! £10 for Fish'n Chips and a side of Chips. The place is definitely a take away,…read morenot somewhere to eat in. This was a recommendation from the manager of the vacation rental I rented. Unbelievable how Chips can be screwed up but they did it. The serving was large and sadly was thrown out, it was so bad it couldn't be eaten. Similarly the Fish'n Chips were also bad. The fish feel apart in crumbs and didn't taste like fish, very dry and beyond eating. It was also thrown out with its Chips because it was just that bad. Would never recommend, EVER. The wait staff wasn't very pleasant either. Only reason it got 1 start is because I think I have to put a star in or it won't leave the review.
